Blessed are the youth...
So I've been teaching a class on global missions to the youth this past quarter. This past Sunday was the last day of classes for the term, and it definitely was a memorable day! We had the opportunity to go around the neighborhood to pass out flyers for an upcoming Christmas event, but before doing so, I emphasized and reminded everyone of the reason why we were doing this... that it wasn't simply about passing pieces of paper to nameless, faceless people, but truly about loving and blessing each person we came in contact with.
We came together for group prayer before (and after) starting the walk, and I led them into our team battle cry! Silly, but it was so awesome and encouraging to see how each person (1 other guy and the rest girls... where are all the guys? =/) responded so positively... you could just sense the change in spirit, as we truly felt like a team with a purpose... yet still had fun! =D
I really can't express how I feel... but as I observed the bright faces as they merrily went about their "mission," I couldn't help but beam as a not-so-little-piece of my heart melted. =) It just felt so... right: we were putting our faith into action, and joyfully going out to share our love! Praise God for the wonderful work that he has been stirring in their lives! It was one of those moments where it was hard NOT to drop to your knees in praise, and WANT to uplift each of them in prayer! I pray that this is the first, small step of many bigger steps to come for them! =)
(Man, this entry is sooooo poorly written and non-cohesive! Haha... *sigh*)
