this weekend was a force to be reckoned with. you know how Satan hates anything having to do with goodness, spiritual growth and expanding the Kingdom? it was amazing to me to see how ready he was to attack. from personal complications to overall flat out temptations from all around to be selfish and all about me. he even sent pure fear in me. something i don't honestly feel very often. and it was that sickening fear like i forgot for a few minutes that God was in control. take your breath away kind of gross feeling. satan was on his game.
but the awesome testimony is my God reigns. and He brought us over to His side with just one little nod of His head. i can see Jesus now- you know the one i like in jeans and long cool hair. He just cocked His head back one little bit and said "get over here" like in that movie 27 Dresses when the guy who wrote the wedding articles knew what he wanted. Jesus is so awesome -a nod of His head using Jeff Walling and the awesome minds of Winterfest coordinators and thousands of teens and adults were smitten. again.
at the end of the last session we were charged to share Jesus and I saw on faces of teenagers a broken spirit and renewal. it was power. it wasn't just powerful. it was power given straight from God himself to charge them and all of us "grown-ups" who truth be known needed this weekend as much if not more than some of these teens. He charged us to KNOW Him and SEE Him in other people and then BE Him in every interaction and then SHARE Him.
