Spring Break begins

Well, my Spring Break began with a "bang"! Jeremy and I worked a Disciple Now this weekend at Providence Baptist Church, here in Hudson. It was great. God really did move in some of the kids lives. For a lot of them it seemed like they just didn't know about some things. For the girls, we really focused on how God created them beautiful, the power of that beauty, and also modesty. Jeremy actually made them a video just expressing his heart on this, and also from a guy's point-of-view on the issue. The girls really responded to that! Most of the girls were shocked that some of the things they had been wearing, and some of the ways they had been acting were sending the wrong message and I guess they just finally came to an understanding of the power of their beauty.
The HS guys talked about pornography, alcohol, sex... Jeremy told me that a lot of them became aware of the fact that just because you don't get caught by the law or your parents doesn't mean that it's ok. They were basically living double lives and had to come face-to-face with it this weekend.
I know that for some of these students that these will only be weekend promises, but I really do feel like a few of them 'got it.' My hope is that there will be leaders that will step up in the youth group, because I really saw that missing in this group. They are just kind of letting each other be complacent, and it's time that some of them step up and lead out. They really need that.
Final note: God really laid it on my heart to give Brent's testimony, and so I did so on Saturday night. It was so hard. I knew it was what God wanted, but just having to relive some of those memories was difficult. I actually had a girl come up to me after it was over and talk to me about some things and I was so encouraged that Brent's testimony was able to help her out.

I love all of you guys and I hope to keep you updated on what's going on in my life.
