the dawn is breaking...

Tonight was a pretty wonderful night. I've come to realize that I don't mind being busy with students, in fact, I actually like it. That's beside the point though, tonight they gave us a preliminary farewell address at Youth Group. It was pretty good to feel appreciated by those little stinkers I've invested 3 years in. I've never done youth ministry before and probably won't do it again (who knows...) but, I can say with some great assurance that I've enjoyed my time doing it. There were tough times for sure, but the majority of the time spent with those students was as uplifting as I could have ever hoped. I only wish I could have given them more of me.

In other news, I still don't know what I'm going to do with my life... slightly scary, but I guess that's how the Lord works on these matters. To worry is not going to avail me much. This week I keep going back to when Boone and I went hiking in North Georgia on the Rabun Bald (pretty cool hike), and he reminded me of Matthew 6:24-25. He repeated the verses he had memorized and said, "You are in good hands... you have nothing to worry about." It was good medicine then, and continues to be a good word. For now, we keep on walking until the Lord tells us to turn.

So, I think the dawn is breaking through, I think the dark is on the run - I don't know for sure, but I think the Lord is waking us up.
