It's Thursday morning and I'm sitting at my kitchen bar sipping a Tim Horton's iced-cap and gearing up for more study on this Saturday's HELP WANTED Speaking In Tongues message.
I just wanted to say that Mrs. J and I consider ourselves to be the most blessed Youth Leaders on planet earth. We know that the teenagers in Exelerate aren't perfect (duh!)...but this whole youth group is striving to be honest and passionate about seeking and loving God!
We're so thankful and honoured that we have an opportunity to invest into your lives, and we want to let you know that we take this very seriously. We don't know who you will become later on in life...but we know that you will influence thousands of people. And we know that if you continually water the seeds that God has planted in the soil of your hearts, they won't return void!
We're proud of you guys!
Ya'll are rocking the whole Daily Devote Blog thing! Thanks for being so committed and enthusiastic about it. God is going to reward you for it... And we can't help but be excited about all of us reading the Bible together from October to June. It is an insanely radical commitment...but Exelerate is doing something we've never done, and we believe God is going to take us places we've never gone!
Sure we're biased, but you teenagers are the best...ever...and you have our hearts!
Sorry, but we think God understands if we just brag on you guys a little. :)
ManyBlessings,
- mr&mrsJ
