Amazed...I Heart Night

lets see it is now...1:45pm on thurs and I am still hyped out of my mind...i am still reeling from last night...last night we had the largest crowd ever, and the best part is that the number of people isnt the best part!! 6 people committed their hearts to Christ, 6 Rededicated their lives, and several more came for prayer...That is the best part. Praise God!!!

Thanks to the Pure team for steppin up huge, Ja-u for spinin some beats, and the rest of you for taking a risk and inviting the people that matter most to you...I have heard stories already of how God used last night to reach the people that matter most to you...

In Awe

Its 1:40am and i just cant bring myself to go to bed...I am still reeling from tonight...literally in awe of what happened tonight...I cant tell you how humble it makes me to think that we, you and I, are seeing a revolution on our midst...literally that Jesus is using us to be the difference...I am really at a loss for words after what i saw tonight.

when worship finished i was quickly grabbed by our ministry team, who for the record are way under recognized for what they do...way to go guys you are amazing, because there was a group of 20 guys huddled up outside in the cold committing to leading the way to a new reality...one the transcends the force fed pop culture lie that sex isnt special and is only some silly bodily function. a fallacy that tells guys that our value is determined by our sex appeal and how often we close the deal, and tells young ladies that theyre value is realized through taking their clothes off and giving themselves away as sexual objects

tonight marks out a new chapter, one that take our future back. Its our turn now...our turn to set the pace and show this generation that Gods design brings hope and possibility, not just empty promises that lead to destruction.

A New Sign of Hope...

I'm sitting in a meeting with 20 other people in nxtgen ministry having a conversation about what's working, and what's not...

I am hearing that last week for many of you was catalytic...something clicked for you...to me I hear the voices of other people, like you and I, talking about what's working and how lives are changing and I think about last week and see one thing...

A New Sign of Hope...

were not done this whole thing is just starting, from pure to generate, to every other nxtgen movement around here, we are just scratching the surface, jesus wants to redeem our generation...I'm in.

Words from the Wise

One of my favorites! ENJOY :)

ANYWAY

Man is illogical, unreasonable, egocentric...
It doesn't matter......Love anyway...

If you do good, you will be accused of egocentric meanings....
It doesn't matter........do good. anyway...

If you realize your dreams, you will find false friends and real enemies.......
It doesn't matter......realize them. anyway...

The good you do will be forgotten tomorrow....
It doesn't matter.....do good. anyway...

Honesty and sincerity make you vulnerable....
It doesn't matter....be honest and sincere. anyway.....

All that you construct in years ....could be destroyed in a second.
It doesn't matter.....construct. anyway...

If you help people they will resent it......
It doesn't matter....help them. anyway..

Give the world the best of you and the world will kick you....
It doesn't matter.....give the best of you. anyway...

- Mother Theresa
