Catalyst Weekend update

I never get tired of being surprised by God's goodness. I should really expect it, because it defines his character! Nevertheless, I'm regularly awed by is activity and generosity to me and those I spend my time with.

Catalyst weekend was amazing. Students responding to the call of God was more than heartwarming. It was impacting! Watching high school students choose to leave their seats, gather around, and pray for one of their own-completely unprompted.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!

I can sum up the entire weekend with that one word.

Thank you God for allowing me to be taught by teenagers what it means to move with compassion! Thank you students for being like Jesus!

a quote to pass along...

Heard a great quote and wanted to pass it along:

“For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible.” - Stuart Chase
