Ooh Ahh

Well, since the last time I posted I have assumed at least one new role to play in my life. That being interim youth pastor at my church. Last night we went on the air at WDJC and we had a blast! It still blows my mind that God can use the simplest of things to minister grace to one of his children...that child being me. Honestly, I love being with the young people. I never feel so fully alive as when Im just hanging out with them. But monday had been a rough day of some sorts and part of me just wanted to be alone and spend some time in prayer. You know there are times you have to wonder how many times you have to make the same mistake before the lesson finally sinks in. Anyway, in the middle of the craziness of a radio show, a high-strung dj, and three teenagers the Lord poured out his mercy on an undeserving, fumbling child. After all my mistakes and all these years I still cant fully wrap my mind around the peace that the Father chooses to fill up a heart with, but I am so incredibly thankful that He does. Im also grateful that in the middle of broken things beauty can be found, and that suprisingly enough...that beauty can be in the sweet smile of a teenager!
