watch out, look to the fields

As I sit here on Sunday eve for what seems like my weekly blog update, i am thinking of all that happened today. I am tired to say the least, had a great nap and roasted a lot of coffee!! Today was a milestone for me, leading worship on a Sunday morning with a group of young people was amazing. and even those of you who were not up front for the leading aspect of it, you are a vital member of the team because you sing and cry out to God from the church, and worship spreads. and o my word was Ken's sermon amazing. the part about what fields in your life are white for the harvest, lay those down, overwhelming to say the least.
God is wanting to flood over us, and change everything we have ever known about Him and about Church. let me know you are hearing this, we can't even comprehend what God has in store for us, but I am convinced as we wait on Him and His timing we will reap a bountiful harvest, but my challenge is this grow. grow. grow. A seed doesn't get planted then immediately the next day bear fruit, it takes time to grow before a fruit is produced. let's not rush what God is trying to do, allow him to lead. As we as a group grow it is important that we are going out of our way to make newcomers feel welcome, and if that means leaving a good conversation or screamo contest, do it. as we welcome others into our lives genuine growth will easily occur. The words to that song "they'll know we are Christians by our love" comes to mind. let's kill others with kindness and respect as we welcome them to the crazy times we know as NCF youth. Don't give up, fight the fight!
