The preparations have begun... we leave tomorrow on our annual Confirmation Retreat. Overnight in a gym on the floor with eighteen middle school students and their mentors! I am not eager to sleep poorly, but I am excited about the time I get to spend with these amazing, wacky, and silly students.
Great moments for God happen every year. Some moments we try to plan... other amazing glory-bump moments the Holy Spirit surprises us! Mostly, I am eager to chat with the students about their lives and where and how they live. I've got my anthropology, sociology- like questions all lined up. :)
And oh, did I mention how cool it is to be with our mentors? These are the awesome people in our church, I mean really? They are willing to give up a night with their families to sleep on the floor with a bunch of wiggly middler school students.
How cool, is that?!
And where else can that sort of amaing generational moment happen out-side school and the family, but CHURCH!
Pray for us. (and my back...)
