Is is holy?

What an amazing weekend! I had the best time this past weekend at Resurrection with our youth. We took 18 kids which is a record high in the past three years. The biggest issue was where to put them all when it came time for bed. The speaker Justin Lookadoo was amazing. He had a great message that appealed to all the kids. His biggest question he asked was Is it Holy? It gave me a lot to think about when it comes to my own behaviors. Am I being holy? He also shared his experiences with being a foster parent. His point was to talk about God's love for us but I related to it on a different level. I've been thinking for a while about becoming a foster parent and it was great to hear his and his wife's story. It hasn't been all smiles but they have gotten so much out of it. After the last session on Sunday, I waited in line to tell him how much I enjoyed his message. I was so impressed when he gave me a hug and asked how things were going. He had remembered me from earlier in the week when he came to our youth group. I think that was amazing when I didn't really talk to him that night and he had met so many people. Our youth weren't always the best behaved but they behaved when it counted. They were all attentive to the message and answered the call to get back right in their relationships with God. I'm so proud of each of them for coming on this trip and loved the opportunity to meet some new kids. I'm looking forward to this coming weekend when we go to Divine Rhythm with college kids and young adults. It's my turn to be filled up.
I was thinking Saturday night about how much God has been doing in my life. This was my third resurrection and it was so different from the first. I have changed and grown so much in my relationship with God. I am a lot closer to God and I feel like I have a greater knowledge about spiritual things. I also have become so much more involved in the conference. It was nice to have friends that I've made this past year there and to see them. I've been really trying to discern what God is calling me to do. I feel like I'm being called into full time ministry. I just haven't figured out what that means. Part of me feels like maybe I'm in full time ministry as it is being a teacher at the local elementary school. I have the opportunity to do things that I wouldn't have if I didn't work here. God is so amazing and I'm so excited to see what he has in store for me.
