Pondering...

The next couple of weeks are going to be pretty crazy for me so I am left pondering what will happen and what will I see. I am usually thinking about the future and what it will bring and hold for me and the people I know. Let me give you some examples.

Last night we had a youth workers meeting and talked about some new changes that will be happening at Edge. So that leads me to think... I wonder if this will bring more kids to Jesus? I wonder what types of relationships we will build in the next couple of months? I wonder if the students we have now will go and tell others about the Savior they love. I wonder if our adults get burned out? I wonder if these changes are need or just wanted?

I am leaving this Saturday to fly to Columbus Ohio to speak at Rocky Fork. I served at this church for 2 years and I am really looking forward to seeing everyone and speaking there Sunday. I am also speaking at a middle school week of camp there. So that leads me to think... How will it feel see all those students grown up? What will God do with the message I am preaching there? Will lives be changed? Will people decide to fall in love with Jesus again? How will people feel about seeing me? Did they miss me? Are they glad I left? Why does that matter to me?

Then the week of camp... What will God do through these adults working there? Will they be convicted of a life with Jesus? Will the sermons and D-group question impact them? Will students see Jesus for who he really is and what he has done? Will this be the week that everything changes for them? Will they leave and decide to change the world?

I am back for a week here in Georgia and there are all kinds of different meetings and things to do. Then I leave to speak at my home church and a week of camp for 9th and 10th graders. All the questions will return.

I don't think it is wrong to ponder these things but I really get excited to see what God will do with me and those who want to follow him. When I read scripture I often leave with this thought, "That is awesome but they didn't see this next thing coming." I wonder what that next thing is and I think of it often.

I will not be blogging next week so pray for me and the people I meet. LOVE YA
