Friday night at youth was a little frustrated trying to get the game organized. I was also a little disappointed in the involvement of a few individuals but overall it went well and I am glad for thought that Aimee, Josh and I put into the game. A special props goes out to Josh especially for putting the ideas and everything together.
This past weekend the New York trip went to Langley to see Bill William preach at the Christian Life Assembly Church. Bill William is in charge of Metro Ministries. This guy is reaching out to a community that he is pretty familiar with based on his life growing up. He claims to not exactly know what he is doing but knows that God is at work and so things are happening. His words are. "I am not some great man of power and faith. I am a regular guy that often runs scared too. However, I think that faith without works is dead (James 2:17), so I do not sit around expecting God to drop what is needed out of the sky. Nevertheless, an issue of faith dictates the need I have to cross the line in the first place."
I really like this guy because he will challenge you and let you know if he doesn't like you or has a problem. He lives to please God and not man so I am very excited, scared and other things I cannot describe to go on this mission to New York in March!
Bill really pointed out to me this weekend through his stories that God really is after anyone who says, "Nobody cares LORD, here I am." And then he went on to say “It’s always one that cares, always one.” When you really think about this it is something amazing, I also cannot describe and don't fully understand either. When this guy talked both of his sermons brought tears to my eyes. He reminds me of Old Testament leaders and his stories revealed to me more about God's love for us.
