I went to a Casting Crowns concert last night. It was absolutely AMAZING! No other words to describe. It was just awesome! They are rockin'! So is Building 429!
It's so weird because I was suppose to go with my friend Sara and her chruch. Well, Sara's car sadly broke down. I felt so bad that she couldn't go. Her church still picked me up though. It wasn't even uncomfortable even though I only knew her mom. But if she would have been there I probably would not have spent so much time with a girl named, Elizabeth.
Well, for a while I had been thinking I wanted to work with youth. But I kept thinking that I wasn't really good enough and it makes me nervous anyhow. And those who have never really strayed would be better, etc etc. Well I went to talk to the pastor of my new church just days ago. I had been praying about it a little bit, but I definitely don't want to do anything I'm not suppose to. Well, he mentioned me working with youth. And I was like YEAH! I'm going back in to talk to him in about a week, but I started praying about it. And sometimes I'm not real good with answers. So I was like can I have sort of a big answer, something where I know what it is because I really don't want to do anything outside of Your will.
Well, all this leads to the night of the concert. In the van I was sitting by a girl, whom I thought was a little older than she actually was. She was 14 going on 15. My answer. I knew her for a total of about 10 minutes, and she started confiding in me. I was like wow, this is good. Good practice. Kids are so funny. She acted all night like I was 14. Basically, I ran around with her like I was.
She has the exact same mind set that I had when I was that age. And the same exact mind set as any other 14 girl I've talked too. Now I'm praying that God will help me set an example. Little kids will follow us, imitate and act like us. I want God to use me with these youth. It really excites me. I wish that God could teach them through me what I finally learned at 21. Because one day they are going to come to the same conclusions. And the earlier the better.
I wish my age group in my generation would rise up and live and set the example and teach and grow the younger part of our generation. Then it would be a continous cycle of young people who are living for God's name and renown. Yeah...
I have this amazing HOLD NOTHING BACK for the GLORY of GOD movement built in my head. But as little ol' me, I'm scared. Trusting God shouldn't be scary but stepping out of our comfort zone is...
