still at ciy...
the week has been really good so far...the theme is "this is me"...i guess how i would explain it is this...its all about who god is...the first night was "i am love"...last night was "i am grace"...tonight is "i am here"...each day there are d-group lessons and classes that are built around this theme...and then each night there is an awesome celebration service that caps it all off...last night was great...CONFRONTATION...at the very the service began by singing "amazing grace"...then after they started the students focusing on this...they challenged them to think about what they needed that grace for...it was powerful...in our youth group time after the main session we had some very honest conversation...i think there is more to come...i think there are some that are holding back...i know that there are some that god still wants to have more of...and i'm praying for them...but overall...our group is being changed...so far, three people are wanting to be baptized...about 7 more are renewing committments to christ...and one guy...the most honest one all night, i think...said..."i hear everyone talking about being connected with god...i dont get it...but i want it"...i'm workin on that one fo sho...haha...tonight will be more i think...deeper...more real...more submission...and they love it!...which is cool...
