God's Timing is Perfect!

So tonight was amazing! I was excited to visit one of the adult leaders from last summer but it wasn't till I got there and saw her and visited with some of the people that I truly was awaken. Diana is such an amazing woman! When I cam back from youthworks I went to this lady for so much. A woman that could be my mother, a wife of 25 years, a daughter of two, one 22 and the other 18 with so much wisdom brought so much joy. Our time Begain with tony and I going to the church saying hi to Diana and talking with the youth pastor (Chris) and another leader from this summer (Ben). We then jumped into the car with Diana and heading to her home where she showed us around a bit and we met her husband. We then proceeded to fix dinner for her family and us. It was such a blessing to be able to serve this family by fixing them dinner. We ended up fixing ground hamburger and fried wild rice with different veggies and stuff. The other cool thing about the dinner was how Diana and the fam talked about how they haven't sat down at the table as a family in a long time. So we did! it was like old time when my family used to sit down and pray and enjoy one another. I love this family Michelle (18 year old daughter)calls me a brother and Diana calls me a son and because of the Talks i have had between Diana and even occasionally her daughters I even feel at home and comfortable to share my life.



It was after dinner that we went to church and I was able to reunite with some of the kids that I loved and was moved by last summer. These kids rocked my world tonight. When i walked in and they saw me i was nearly talked with hugs. it was amazing. i guess its hard to imagine that you would ever get a reaction from someone like that but if you ever do you will know that it feels great! These kids were so pumped and by the end of the reunion I was too. we then went into the small group part where tony and I joined Chandler an amazing kid with a heart bigger than Texas. They proceeded to watch a clip from the movie fireproof where the guy overcomes his temptation to look at pornography and takes a bat to his computer. They have been digging through the issues of purity for over a month now. For me this is awesome I am so glad that the church is stepping up and diving head first at this issue. These kids are getting valuable information that puts them so far ahead of their peers and it rocks. satan is getting a dose of Jesus and being rebuked with wisdom! AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME...! After sitting in on the junior high boys discussion with Chris (the youth pastor) we then mingled and headed over to this pizza place and hung out some more. Two of my favorite kids were there Chandler and Andrew! It was amazing to sit and laugh with these kids it brought back so much passion and evoked a joy and excitement that i had been lacking!



Like the title of this post says "God's Timing is Perfect!" I know this and I continue to be challenged by Him to be patient. Tonight God came in such a amazing fashion. I have not been excited about this summer really at all until now! Like I said God evoked in me such a joy and excitement for what he is going to do in my life that i am so ready to do this. Yes, my nervousness is still there and Yes, I am still in the dark but I know that God made tonight what it was. I know that God allowed this reunion to take place and put these people in my life in such a timely matter and it couldn't have been more perfect! GOD IS SOOOO GOOD!!



God then continued to rock my world as we went back to Diana's house and hung out with her daughter and herself. It was cool just to hang out and hear stories and look at pictures and what not. What was even more amazing was talking with Diana about parenting and just life in general. She is so full of wisdom and i loved hearing her speak and hearing the truth she spoke. I leave this night changed and again amazed at God and how he does things. To God be the Glory. I am beginning to see more and more how important it is to be patient and wait on God. My challenge to you all is to be patient pray fervently and trust in the Almighty and his Perfect timing!
