Believe

In the past month God has revealed Himself to us. For me it began as I sat in a breakout session led by John Piper at the Passion Conference in Atlanta, GA. I felt God lift a burden from me and found a new passion and desire for him ignited within me. It was a moment where I wanted to leave the session just to tell everyone what God had just done to me, but I was so into what Piper was saying that I wanted to hear more from him. As we left the conference there were so many things going through my mind...

Over a month later I found myself standing in front of junior high students, preaching the intro to a message when God told me to stop talking and turn the night over to the students...so I did. They responded by committing to a life of purity and making a 2 year commitment to refrain from dating so that they would have more time to chase God...

Later that night Caty, Sarah, Sarah, and Stephanie came to me and shared that they were ready to accept Christ into their lives....then Landon came to his brother Logan and shared the same thing....and Evan went to his mom- same craving.

We came home and baptized Sarah, Stephanie and Landon.

Wednesday night we got together for Refuge and God let me preach the message that I started on Saturday night. Then He moved again. We had planned on baptizing Caty and Sarah, then Ashley came....then Kristen....next was Samantha....followed by Shawn, Laryssa, and Leslie. We sang.

Atleast 3 more students are planning on being baptized this Wednesday as they accept the greatest gift that God has ever given us.

We haven't caught God yet, but we know we're on the right journey.
