My God is bigger than the boogie man...is yours?

             Hello, hello! Happy Saturday to you all. I don't know how you spent this beautiful afternoon, but I spent the day over at Remingtons...also known as 'the bar that got saved'. A group of youth ministers from around the area get together each year to put on an event called ''Youthquake''. I had the privilege of working the merchandise table for the Caleb Rowden band (http://www.calebrowden.com/) with a few other volunteers. Past years have been great, but this year was fantastic. Not only did we have CRB lead worship but The Skit Guys (http://www.skitguys.com/) presented the message through stand up comedy. The first session we had 850 kids, and the second session was standing room only. The was an incredible number of salvations made, as well as a large amount of re-dedications. Sometimes it doesn't really seem like God is doing much in our lives. But when God moves, He moves in a big way. He knocks us off our feet and continues to amaze us every single second. People say "...and then God showed up..." but God doesn't just "show up", He's been here all along. So just take a moment, close your eyes, and turn your brain off. Stop worrying about that homework you still haven't done, or the cute boy in your science class, and just sit. Marinate in the fact that the God who died for your sins and then rose again 2000 years ago, is still very much alive today. And He wants to know YOU. He wants to use YOU. And most importantly, He wants to spend eternity with YOU.
