First Post

So what do i say. I am not to sure what to talk about so i will go over all the church stuff from this weekend.

Friday i had to cancel my small group so i could attend the Ovations for the children and student ministry volunteers. I had a great time with my friends we had a blast we laughed, got to know one another better, we talked about our ministry goals. It was a great time !


Then we have Sunday at Sawgrass.

We had a two great student services Sunday morning. It was funny because everything that could have gone wrong during the beginning of the first service did. First we had a few students late then we could not find the stuff we brought for the game so Craig and I were running around the theater looking for the papers while the students settled in. After everything was done we were under way and the kids had a blast with the game, the worship band lead by John was doing great and Scott nailed his lesson for the day which was very emotional as he shared a very private story with us all about his motor cycle accident. Second service we had couple of problems but again they were fixed and to the Glory of GOD we had an awesome second service. Pastor Abel wanted to take the seniors that were graduating out to lunch and that was a great time I got to know a couple of seniors i didn't really know and saw two possible future student leaders.

I had the honor of speaking with one of my students parents and letting them know that her son and daughter would be in great hands at sawgrass and that i hoped she would let them come out more frequently, she sadly is not really attending any church at the moment so i ask that we pray for her.

Then at 4pm i drove those two students and my sister to the beach baptism/concert were we had a great time with our brothers and sisters in Christ.We had fun tossed the baseball for a while, talked got to see my friend Scott get baptized.I also saw an old friend from 9th grade. I was so happy to bump into him and much happier when i found out he had been going to FRC for 3 years now.We caught up on our past and present and we prayed together right before i left the concert. Said bye to him and some friends and called it a night.

And all this with just 2-3hrs of sleep the night before. Who needs red bull when you can just ask God to help you get through a day like this so you can work for him and give it all to the students.

God bless,
Jesse
