Making an "Impact"

What a blessed week I had last week. We took a handful of kiddos to Camp Impact at OC, and I think I was uplifted just as much as they were. It was refreshing not hearing the same-o same-o vbs church songs again, but giving credit to these little minds. Singing Lord Reign In Me and Shout Hallelujah was nothing for these 370 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. But as always, nothing is as beautiful as a child's voice singing Light the Fire.

I stand to praise you, but I fall on my knees,
My spirit is willing, but my flesh is so weak.
Light the Fire in my soul.
Fan the Flame, make me whole.
Lord you know where I've been,
So light the fire in my heart again.

To some degree, I ceased to care if they knew what their singing because it sounded so moving to me.. but I believe they do. I believe their minds have matured just enough to know that Jesus is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.

And now here I sit, in the offices at Parkview Church, asking... begging God to give me the abilities to continue to impact our kids like camp did for so many. I am done worrying about small budgets and tiny classes. If it's God's desire, he's gonna make it happen.

my prayer: to make an impact internally and outward in the community
