Young Life Club 3/18/13
What a fun night! Had some SharpTop sign ups come in, which is answered prayer! Tina led music with me. It was her first time leading music. She did great. She brought a ton of energy and enthusiasm. Mixer was girls pulling apart guys and guys pulling apart girls. This mixer can get out of hand pretty quick, but I think we flirted the line well of everyone laughing and smiling with no one getting a dislocated shoulder or hip. Thomas and DJ were in the game, so girls put the clothespins on their face until time ran out. Thomas went mind over matter and could handle 42 (pic above)!
My wife, Jessica, talked about Martha and Mary and Jesus. She showed how Martha filled her life with things that made her busy, but not whole. Mary was content because she had Jesus. She used a great illustration of a large cutout of a heart with a hole in it, and filled it with various things representing the things high school people tend to fill their life with, such as sports, relationships, school, sex, partying, and money. Each one of those things went right into the heart but did not fill the hole. Only a foam ball with "Jesus" written on it could fill the void, and not just fill it, but over fill it to show how Jesus in us fills our heart and overflows out of our life.
Our prayer is that kids will understand their need, so that they might see a willing Savior awaiting to meet it. I pray the same for me. And for you. Will you pray with us?
