Everytime I Turn Around He is Making a Way

We had great church tonight! The youth choir "tore it up" tonight followed by an awesome word from Pastor Billy Johnson. It is services like this that keep reminding you of just how Mighty our God is!

If you are reading this blog, then you are just about to get the inside scoop. Are you ready for this? The following information will not be officially announced until this coming Wednesday night in youth service. Last week David was asked to come on staff at our church as Young Adult Pastor. This will cover the age group range from 11th grade to college and career. (Brother Chris Gonzales will be over the junior high to 10th grade group.) We are very much excited about this opportunity. As most of you know, we have been working in the youth group in Denham for approximately 8 years now. It is exciting to be a big part of this group of young people again. We love working/mentoring youth.

And that is why we brought our whole family (babies included) to the youth retreat this weekend. 2 days at Twin Lakes in Mississippi. It was a wonderful retreat filled with, most importantly- an awesome move of God, plus- loads of fun, and great fellowship. As for the babies, they actually did really good. The only problem was that they are way too nosey to sleep. They didn't go to bed until everyone else did. Yikes! It was really nice reconnecting with the youth group. There were tons of new faces for us to get to know. That is a good sign of revival! I believe that there were 160 registered there as part of our group. That is awesome!

I unfortunately forgot my camera so I don't have any pictures to share. I'll try and retrieve a few from some of the youth soon to upload.

We are looking forward to our new assignment in life, our next journey...giving what we can offer to the youth group at First UPC in Denham Springs, developing young people, teaching them to reach for a deeper and daily spiritual walk with our Lord and Saviour, a love for the truth, encouraging them, and loving them through their circumstances! Wow! Is anyone else feeling the heaviness of such a task? What a big responsibility for which to be trusted. We are praying for the anointing that we know is necessary for such a position.
