AWED BY GOD

Have you ever watched a sunset and been totally awed by God's handy work? Usually I don't watch sunsets that often, and growing up on Lake Huron I don't know why I didn't take advantage more often of God's creativeness and his mighty work. But a couple of weeks ago when I had the opportunity to go to Nappanee Missionary Church's Jr. and Sr. High camp I was awed by God and how creative he is.

The camp was at Beulah Beach Camp in Vermillion, OH, which is on Lake Erie. While I was there helping lead students into a deeper relationship with the creator God of the universe, I was able to watch some pretty amazing paintings that God wanted to show our students. There was one night in particular that he wanted to show us his glory and this picture is of that night. God showed off and showed up that night. It began with some worship where everyone was singing praises to our God, but then after a while it turned into a different kind of worship. It was the kind of worship where everyone from our group was looking at the mighty display of God's creativity. The students were worshiping God with all they had and with all they were. It was amazing to see what God was doing in each of their lives.

After being home for a little over two weeks God is still doing some amazing things in these student's lives. Just this past Sunday morning I had the opportunity to play the drums in one of the services that takes place at NMC, and there were people in the service that said that they could sense something different in the students. God is raising leaders out of this youth group in this church and adults are noticing. This is no longer the forgotten generation, this is the changed generation.
