so last week i was on houseboats. there were thirty high schoolers crammed onto two boats. we played and laughed, there were banana boat wars and there was a major game of "honey if you love me please smile" (which of course patrick hazey won). there were so many moments that i loved. at one point i was sitting on the front deck of the boat and the sun was shinning, a couple of the boys were fishing, and taylor swift was the soundtrack for the day. i felt like this was one perfect moment.
among all the fun and laughs God moved in awesome ways. i watched as our students reached out and grabbed the hem of Jesus' robe. their faith was astounding. each of these stduents came with their own unique experience, some were bathed in pain and others had no idea what to expect. but God showed up for each one. as they questioned and prodded God, He reached back and wrapped these students in his arms.
each year i love watching God move through the kids. they are always light-years ahead of me when it comes to trusting that movement. I am constantly reminded that when we jump off the cliff God grabs us and makes sure we never fall. faith is more than trust, it's beyond a decision and the students i work with get that.
