Youth Retreat
Just got back from a weekend youth retreat where us young adults lead the entire thing and spoke and everything. It was great!!! Lots of great relationships made, and the most important thing is that God's voice was heard and understood.
At the end we had the youth come and pray for us young adults and the couple of older adults who were our elders. One girl, Alex C., told me she saw a picture of me and God skydiving. Little did she know this is a desire in my heart, and I just told another kid in my cabin earlier that I wanted to do this next year. I had felt a little apprehensive, not out of fear, but I don't want to push the limits of God's grace. But this word freed me up and I'm going to jump out of that plane with reckless abandon and fun!! This same girl had an incredible vision earlier with an angel, heaven, and Jesus.
Another kid, Jesse S., got this INCREDIBLY cool vision of God on the throne, with Jesus on his right-hand side, and "someone who I wasn't sure who it was on the left, but God told me that it was representative of the church." WOW.!! This kid can't be older than 10, and he is just sweeter than you can imagine. Not an ounce of guile in him, or vanity, or anything.
I had a BLAST with the boys in the dorm!! I decided to go there rather than my private room, because I knew it would be more fun and have better opportunity for ministry. Boy, was I right!!! I'll never forget laughing until 2:30 or Paul the "Walrus" hacking in the early a.m. or the fire alarm going off to a room FILLED with smoke at 3a.m. (left a log on TOP of the wood-burning stove!) Great memories!!
Also got a lot of excercise. It is amazing, though, that I woke up GREAT every day. Not sore or anything. God is there with grace.
Watched Batman begins the other day. That show ROCKS!!!! One of my favorite ever! Especially if you look at the spiritual analogies of Gotham as the U.S. or humanity as a whole and Batman as a believer on a journey. I love the line about "I'm not ready to give up on her yet."
What else- WORK!!! MLT work was SO COOL this week!!! I got 2 days of limo shoots in both Rochester and the Cities, and 1 day of a helicopter shoot in Lake City. On the way back the pilot informed me we were going about 102 knots. I said, "How about we do 102 knots 5 feet above the ground?" He said, "Oh, ok" and we were literally flying 5 feet above the top of the corn stalks at 110 mph!! AWESOME!!!!! If anyone want's this guys number, just let me know!!
Peace and love in Christ!
