Moving out!

This was the last week of the underground. For me personally, it was a very bittersweet experience. Looking around, there have been conversations I can still recall had in almost every corner of the room. Questions that were asked and answered, fears talked about, then squashed under the light of christs love, and just a lot of goodhearted joking around too that happened were all recalled in every couch, and inch of wall real estate. But looking forward I am really both excited and optimistic that we will have even more people, more conversations, and more life-change in the new youth ministry as we submerse ourselves in doing all things with excellence! That if we make quality our primary concern, the quantity we take care of itself, (that has been proven for me the past 2 months, as we had over and over the best service yet, immediately followed by the best attended service yet, again and again)
Instead of ending this how I normally would with a list of my favorite things from last night, I'd like to share my favorite things about the underground as a whole.

1. Delerious and hilarious games of quelf at 3 in the morning in the lock-in!

2. Learning that the limbo is more fun when your barefoot standing on slippery soap suds!

3. Hearing that someone has decided to no be fearful of what God has planned for their future

4. Hearing someone decide to save themselves for their future spouse; that they are worth the wait

5. When the person I meet one week, becomes a best friend the next week.

6. Hearing a new song, executed well!

7. Seeing musicians grow from shy beginners to confident players!

8. Seeing Teens go from confused doubt-filled unbelievers to confident faith-filled followers of Christ!

9. Seeing people go from first-time attender to committed member. Putting themselves into making this a better experience.

10. Getting to share what I learn every week, and seeing it change your lives as much as it's changing mine.

Love you guys, have a great week.
