Awesome Staff Team

ministry Truth Student Ministry

We had our weekly Truth Staff meeting today.  It was really cool today because we talked about planning for the summer. But I have to say my favorite part was when I was telling them what I wanted to do during my sermon.  To build suspense I won’t say what it is. But lets just say the preparation involves some adult volunteers, woodworking, tables, pens, candles, black fabric. When I said my idea they were pumped up and immediately started delegating the different jobs to people and said don’t worry about it, we’ll take care of all that stuff. Did I mention woodworking? They are going to build something for me (nothing major, but still).

I just think it awesome to see them jump up and before I could even ask if they would help, they just took it and ran with it! They also ran a lot further than I would have ran with it. That’s the benefit of a team! Thanks guys!

Now that I’ve made it sound way more special than it is come Wednesday night and check it out!

God has all understanding and knowledge

Quiet Time Thoughts

Read this in my quiet time today.

Proverbs 2

It was just cool because I’m not gonna lie, I am stressed.  I am preaching this Wednesday for the first time @ Truth.  I also have had to communicate to the band, vocalist, tech team, creative team, etc about everything going on this Wednesday.  So this morning I prayed that I wouldn’t stress and that God would give me knowledge of what to say to the hurting students.  Then in quiet time the Bible said:

1 My son, if you accept my words 

and store up my commands within you,

2 turning your ear to wisdom

and applying your heart to understanding,

3 and if you call out for insight

and cry aloud for understanding,

4 and if you look for it as for silver

and search for it as for hidden treasure,

5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD

and find the knowledge of God.

6 For the LORD gives wisdom,

and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

I love my church

Church Cool God Stuff

Man my church rocks! I just got an email from Meagan that ladies in the church want to cook us dinner.  I was like ok that is cool.  

But wait… not just one or two nights.  They are cooking us dinner on 3/24, 3/25, 3/26, 3/27, 3/28, 3/31, 4/1, and on 4/2.

So for a week and a half they are going to provide dinner for us. How awesome is that!

Thank you The Met and thank you God for bringing my family and I to such an awesome place!
