All good things must come to an end... I have class tomorrow. : (BUT, I have Focus Weekend to look forward to in a few days. I am excited to see how God is going to use this weekend to change the hearts of everyone involved.
I'm thankful for the parents and volunteers that freely give up their weekend and invite kids into their houses. I'm thankful for the leaders that come from all over to minister to our students. I'm thankful for a church staff that supports our ministry with prayer. I'm thankful for a church body that provides the financial means to carry out an event of this magnitude. I'm thankful for students that are involved and eagerly anticipating a weekend of worship and study with God. I'm thankful for Brandon, Rick, Amy, and Shanna for all of the time and energy that they have put into making this weekend wonderful. Most importantly, I'm thankful for a God that allows us to worship Him and eagerly anticipates spending time with each of us.
This weekend is going to heavily emphasize evangelizing the lost. This is so important today. This is something that I struggle with and I am excited to be challenged with this weekend. As sad as it is, sometimes I have to remind myself that Hell is a very real place and that the consequence of not sharing Christ is Hell for so many people that I come in contact with. I shouldn't say I care for someone, or even that we are friends, if I don't know where they are going to spend their eternity.
Being a Christian involves so much more than living a "good" life-- it requires sharing what you have inside with a lost world around you.
