Hello Blog World

I have decided to join the masses and become a blogger myself. For a while now I have enjoyed visiting my friend's blogs and figured I'd give it a try. I have always enjoyed writing and hope to fill these pages with daily thoughts, fun and encouraging stories, and maybe even a thing or two about my family. So here we go;

This past week I had the privilege to go to Bakersfield along with 15 of our kids from our youth group. We went there to attend an annual four day youth conference. There we joined approximately 4,000 other young people from all across California ages ranging from 12-25ish. I know some of you might be aghast that I would consider this a privilege, but I do. I witnessed first hand young people full of exuberance and a love for God that others have said no longer exists in our youth of today. Our youth are not only the leaders of tomorrow, but of today as well. We have some of the most talented, outgoing youth that I have ever seen. They are honest, full of desire, intelligent, sensitive, and extremely hungry for change, and for more of God and his glory. They are tired of church as usual. Do not get me wrong they are NOT tired of our gospel message in Acts 2:38, nor are they tired of Holiness, Revival, Heaven, and Soul Wining. They are just tired of the same ol same ol. If allowed, they can help us break out of the box and expand our territories.

I am pleased to report that I attend a church that understands the value of our youth, and it is because of this that our youth are provided opportunities to teach, preach, minister in music, and to outreach in our communities. They are not shoved in a box and asked to conform, but are allowed to grow and become everything God wants them to be for HIS Kingdom and Glory.

I am truly excited to be apart of God's Kingdom in these last days and even more excited about seeing destiny fulfilled in young people’s lives as they allow God to move into their heart and become their everything.
