This summer our church has combined junior high and high school youth groups, which has given me the opportunity to get to know the junior high kids. Well I have really enjoyed getting to know Ruby and Sabrina. They are sweet girls who love the Lord and have touched my life in a very short amount of time.
Tonight I wanted to hike up to the cross at Mt. McCoy and thought it would be a fun way to spend more time with these sweet girls and get some good exercise. So we packed the family up and picked up the girls. Sienna loved getting to be with "big" girls. She really looks up to Ruby, Ruby was her Sunday school teacher for the past year. She might as well be a rock star in Sienna's eyes. So needless to say Sienna loved having them along.
We made it to the cross right in time for the sunset. And God out did Him self with a spectacular display of His artistry. I love how God can surprise us. No matter how many times i see a sunset i am amazed. My God is just that AWESOME! I really enjoyed bringing my camera a long as usual and got some good shots in before my battery died.
I was told a long time ago that it's not about what you do with teens at youth group, it about what you do with them outside of youth group that will change their lives. It is my hope and prayer that God uses me in the lives of the teens at Discovery Church and that i can be there for them more then just on youth group nights. But really be a part of their lives.
[this is good] Laura, God's gift of artistry is seen so clearly in you, your talents, and your willingness to be used by Him.
