Tonight!
So tonight, I had the opportunity to go to the Juvenile Detention Center, and my heart was incredibly broken for those guys. They each have so much going on in their lives, and each of them need to have the love of Christ. I told my life story tonight which was incredibly hard for me to do because I had never done it before. I was a little scared because I was around a group of people I had never met before. I don't really have any more words to say other than the fact that by telling my story, it took a lot off of my shoulders! =)

Mission Trip =)
So.. in less than 5 hours, we will be heading to Manchester Kentucky for a week filled with praising our one true God.. I'm going to be honest for a minute. Until like 2 hours ago I really wasn't excited for this trip at all.. I've been so overwhelmed at work, and then everything else that's going on that I just wanted a break.. My heart was changed though as soon as I asked the Lord to change my heart to a heart willing and ready to serve. It's so funny how we let ourselves become completely overwhelmed without leaning on the strength of the Lord when the whole time He is calling out to us to just lean on Him.
This week is going to be a challenge for me. It's sad to say, but since graduation I haven't really talked to any of my youth group friends. I think it's just because we are all so busy, but anyways it almost feels awkward to have a conversation with them. SO although it will be a challenge it will also be a time of growth.
I'm in charge of VBS, and a youth rally that we are doing on Friday. I can't wait to see the kids who will come to our bible school. If you are the praying type, please take a little time this week to pray for our mission team in Kentucky.. Pray that the Lord will keep us all safe, and that He will give us the words to say when we don't have a clue what to say next. Pray that He will give us the strength we need to keep going on when we are tired.
Also, there are some other mission teams who are serving the Lord this week, so once again, if you will pray for them, that would be amazing. Madison Heights' youth group is going to be in NC this week, Clifford Baptist's youth group is also going to be on a mission trip this week as well.. There is so much work to be done for the Lord!
We have the ability this week to change someones eternal future.. How crazy is that? We have the ability to help someone go to heaven. We have the ability to start a chain reaction of people following Christ!
I hope everyone has an amazing week! It's going to be a hot one!
Love, Jaime
