The Joy of God's Handiwork

It’s hard to believe that Christmas is here! The school year has gone by so quickly! Today, as we said “goodbye” to our Middle Schoolers, I felt a sadness and thought, “I’m going to miss these guys! I won’t see them again until next year.” I have grown very attached to these young people. They have been such a joy.

As I was reading Isaiah 9 this morning, “For to us a child is born. To us a son is given”, I was reminded that God uses the young. God used Jeremiah, King Josiah, Timothy and Mary--just to name a few young people in the Scriptures. As I looked around at our students this morning, I thought, “Which of these is the next Billy Graham?”, “Who is the next Joyce Meyer?”

I am so honored and so blessed to be a part of Collision. To be a part of what God is doing, as He raises up the next generation.

My heart is thankful today.

Christmas Prayer:

I said a Christmas prayer for you

Because the season's near

I didn't ask for riches

But for gifts so much more dear.

I asked for joyful gatherings

With your family all around

And for carols to inspire you

With their old familiar sound.

I asked for quiet moments
