Night Crumbs

Ever have one of those nights where everything is going smooth until the last minute when things start to crumble? Yeah, me neither. Just kidding, I kinda had one last night. The crumbling often happens due to circumstances that are unavoidable, but that doesn’t lessen my tendency to freak out a little bit. I have the best staff and band members ever, yet as bionic as they are, life still happens. People get sick, stuck at work, stuck at home, etc… you get the point. I told some of the staff and band last night, as we prayed, that these are most often the nights when God shows up the strongest. The key is that we come to the table with a plan and God can take it from there.

The night went great! 38 teens showed up, the present staff filled in the gaps, Haley did acoustic worship with Velie on the drums and yours truly on a hand drum, and God made Himself at home. I grow less and less surprised at the little God needs to work with but willing hearts. I am learning early in the game to not fight the circumstances, but to find God in them. I am convinced we serve a faithful God who wants to show His presence more than we want Him to.
