It's about 1 o'clock and after one of the longest days that I've had in a long time, I find myself staring at my computer just wanting to pour out all the emotions, feelings, praise reports, prayer requests, and visions, that I felt in the course of the last two days.
And I am extremely exhausted, but again I find the energy to put my thoughts into words...
The retreat was amazing, though I do not feel as if I have "received" a lot through the messages directly, the Lord spoke to my heart in a different way, one which pushes me to be a greater example, a greater model of a genuine Christian. Being a leader, as I've learned in the past, has it's pros and cons, but never have I felt so happy in leading a congregation in worship.
I am praising the Lord for the work done, in the growth that occurred in the members of the Youth of Livingstone Alliance Church. Growth in spiritual maturity, in a group of predominantly Middle School graduates, gave me a revelation of the endless possibilities that a group of believers can achieve with the Lord. And in that, I am now striving to push hard, to dream bigger, and to desire more.
I see people desiring God, and I pray that it is not at all just a "spiritual high" but something that will continue to reign in their, in our, hearts. This new life, this gospel, this kingdom of God, can be evident in our actions from here on out.
And as this small youth group grows, I am able to see God moving. Clearly moving. And I see a new chapter unfolding, a chapter which will take us to new heights...
