Last night at youth was awesome. Sometimes I wonder how many kids we actually make an impact on, individually. Then Juanca came up to me and told me that he missed me, because I have been gone for so long. (I only missed one Wednesday and one Sunday). He is so silly. It makes me wonder though, how much time do I actually spend with the little guy? I should maybe spend a little more. . .

Yet, worship at the end of the night was incredible. First, it was an awesome blessing to see Vanessa be strong and worship with her heart "on stage". Then, there was this kid right in front of the stage in the dead center. . .I don't remember his name, I think he may be friends with Jared Shipman. . .but he was worshipping his heart out throughout the songs, raising his hands, lifting his head, and it was just incredible. I want a picture of him worshipping, because it was so incredibly beautiful. Then there's little Juanca, who was worshipping and then crying out to the Lord, desperate for Him, and just worshipping with his entire being. Crystal Cornejo, wow, - I have never seen her focus on the Lord like she did last night. She completely surrendered herself in front of her friends that always talk and distract others. It was a little piece of God reaching out to her and then her responding. Then there was Joanna and her new friends, Christine and Justine, and they were all worhipping the Lord joyously - I love when new people feel comfortable to just worship. It's so encouraging. These were just all the kids I saw worshipping, in front of the couches. . . Praise You Lord for the work You are doing in the youth and for the heart of worship that You are giving them. Please Lord continue to do Your work. I will hold on to Your promise in Philippians 1:6 "I will continue to complete the work in you until the day of Lord Jesus". (I think that's right) Please Lord, complete it in all of us. :)
