"God Party"

This week has been fairly full as I was working on Saturday for the camp during a retreat, and then youth on Friday too.
Youth on Friday was amazing, it was a swet "God Party". We had it in an old hall and the basic premise of the night was hang out time, praise and worship, a leaders testimony, and then stations set up for the youth. Each station was based on a psalm and involved a different way to worship. It was super crazy, because the kids have lots of energy, and are often everywhere, but tonight they were really into the singing and jumping around. And throughout the night they were listening, then when it came time for the stations, they all got right too it.
I was praying with Joel for them and it was great. As I was praying, if I looked around at them, I felt that it was not working, that they were not getting anything out of it. But when I prayed without looking, my heart KNEW God was there in a huge way. I found it really interesting how the spiritual world can work that way, Satan tried to get me down, and unfocused, but my heart knew better. Later talking about it, we as leaders were stoked, cuz we had kids praying and crying and trying new ways to worship God. It was truly amazing.
Also, this weekend I worked in the kitchen, did dishes, and helped make biscotti and peppermint patties. It was a pretty sweet time! I also was hall patrol Saturday morning, and so I go to hang out with all the guys and try to prevent random pillow fights and such, but it too was a good time.

Please pray for:
Leaders of youth, that we can help stretch the youth in their relationships with God
Us Kaleo students, that our time with God would not be only be in our academics, but as a relationship still.
