The 5 Minute Friday topic:
Beautiful
and I immediately thought of our week in Belle Glade.
No way to do it justice.
Not in 5 minutes,
Not in 5 lifetimes!
But I want to share some of the beauty with you,
so I will attempt,
knowing that some things,
even for one who loves words,
are best shared face to face.
It was Beautiful… to see 40+ (yes, really!) girls and leaders living in unity and fun,
sharing and praying together at day’s end
Yes, we did look like a tetris board completely filled up!
Yes, we got our exercise walking/jumping to and from our mattresses each day!
It was Beautiful… to see middle school kids learn, grow, and lead Sports Camp with excellence!
It was Beautiful… to see God call me to something crazy – seriously crazy! – during the week
AND call my husband to something similar – without either one of us knowing!!
Then see Him confirm that call in His Word
It was Beautiful… to see God answer prayer!
It was Beautiful… to see 500+ students sing in worship and surrender
and to hear them cry out to God in prayer,
a Thursday night etched in eternal memories
It was Beautiful… to be challenged by our Student Ministries pastors twice daily
It was Beautiful… to share the re-cap of the week together, even though it doesn’t touch the surface.
It IS Beautiful… to see God continuing the work He started last week!!
It WILL BE Beautiful… to see others wake up and take the challenge!
You’ve got 2 to choose from – go for both! 🙂
WILL YOU JOIN THE STUDENTS & MYSELF ON THE JOURNEY?
I’d love the company!
