It's been a while since I have been blessed to wake up on a rainy day. In fact, it's been a while since it has really rained here so that in itself is something to celebrate.
As we near our departure for the National Youth Gathering, I have been thinking more and more about what I would like to see happen on this trip. Having experienced two other mission trips (but never ever having been to the Gathering before) I have come to learn that God always exceeds my expectations because God is pretty cool like that. To see how youth can be so changed after only one week continues to amaze me and it is big reason why all the details and the planning are worth it...to see how God has worked in the life of a youth or an adult and changed them forever for the better.
So my hope and prayer for the Gathering is that the youth will be open to God's work in them and through them to be God's hands and feet in the world and that they will experience something that they never expected.
