Really Wet Wednesday...

I'm pretty sure that yesterday might have been the rainiest day I've experienced in a long time. It literally rained all day! There were so many puddles that I had to either jump over, walk around or wade through that I considered buying knee high rain boots. It was crazy!

However, this did not stop the masses from coming out to Gangway... oh no!

We had about 6 new visitors stop by to hang with us; it was AWESOME! Also, my friend and New City youth director Dylan hung out with us for the night (I hope we didn't scare him too bad). Oh, and just for the record... Dylan is a stud b-ball player, single-handedly taking it to both Herald Eubanks and Trace Garretson! Good times, good times.

We started out as usual; hanging out, goofing around and playing games... a typical day in the life of Gangway students. Then we split up for the lesson. We discussed Proverbs 7. I talked to the boys about temptation and how it is a sneaky thing sometimes. I asked them to seek God so that He may reveal to them temptations in their lives because sometimes they can catch us off guard and we won't even know that we are being led astray. We talked about the importance of wisdom and good judgement and they are key to navigating life and avoiding temptation. We closed with prayer and asked God to help us both know our temptations and to give us strength to avoid them.

As the night drew to a close I realized something, there are a whole lot of students and only one of me. I love each and everyone of the students God has brought through our doors and I cherish each one of them. However, I can't effectively minister to all of them at once, it's just spatially impossible. That being said, I hope that you as parents will consider volunteering on a Wednesday night. Our students deserve all the attention they can get and I just can't give it to all of them. So, I humbly ask you to prayerfully consider volunteering in the Jr. High department. If nothing else... we know how to have fun!

For His Kingdom...
