Hi friends. Just a note that beginning this afternoon I will be fasting from media for the next week. I will be using the time for some deep soul care, contemplation, and community. I will share about my experience when I return.
Last night we had our dinner to celebrate our 2014 Seniors. One of our student ministries volunteers, Jen Halfant did a phenomenal job organizing the evening and making it so special for our students and their families and friends. Excited for these young people as they head off into the next chapter of their lives, and praying that they will truly seek to find their place in the redemptive story of God, and discover how God has gifted them to play a role in His work in the world as they go through their college years.
So proud of my girl who gave this speech at her high school a couple of weeks ago. She’s such an awesome daughter!!!
Read all about and see pictures of all that’s been happening in our Student Ministries recently. Great content for students, parents, and everyone else!
“Two little lines I heard one day,
Traveling along life’s busy way;
Bringing conviction to my heart,
And from my mind would not depart;
Only one life, ’twill soon be past,
Only what’s done for Christ will last.
Only one life, yes only one,
Soon will its fleeting hours be done;
Then, in ‘that day’ my Lord to meet,
And stand before His Judgement seat;
Only one life,’twill soon be past,
Only what’s done for Christ will last.
Only one life, the still small voice,
Gently pleads for a better choice
Bidding me selfish aims to leave,
And to God’s holy will to cleave;
Only one life, ’twill soon be past,
Only what’s done for Christ will last.
Only one life, a few brief years,
Each with its burdens, hopes, and fears;
Each with its clays I must fulfill,
living for self or in His will;
Only one life, ’twill soon be past,
Only what’s done for Christ will last.
When this bright world would tempt me sore,
When Satan would a victory score;
When self would seek to have its way,
Then help me Lord with joy to say;
Only one life, ’twill soon be past,
Only what’s done for Christ will last.
Give me Father, a purpose deep,
In joy or sorrow Thy word to keep;
Faithful and true what e’er the strife,
Pleasing Thee in my daily life;
Only one life, ’twill soon be past,
Only what’s done for Christ will last.
Oh let my love with fervor burn,
And from the world now let me turn;
Living for Thee, and Thee alone,
Bringing Thee pleasure on Thy throne;
Only one life, “twill soon be past,
Only what’s done for Christ will last.
Only one life, yes only one,
Now let me say,”Thy will be done”;
And when at last I’ll hear the call,
I know I’ll say “twas worth it all”;
Only one life,’twill soon be past,
Only what’s done for Christ will last.
Last night we hosted a Mom-Kids’ Fun Night for our Jr. High students and their moms. I will post a full slideshow soon, but for now I wanted to share this. At the end of our evening together we brought the kids out and told them we were going to play a game. Once they closed their eyes, their moms pulled out cans of silly string and punk’d them! Epic! Unforgettable! lol!
