You're a middle school student who has just begun your Spring Break. You begin to day dream about the endless possibilities that await during this much needed break from the grind of school. You fantasize about many hours spent at the beach or at friends houses doing whatever your little heart desires. It is going to be a week filled with late nights and even later mornings. Thus, you lay your little head on your pillow at night, thinking to yourself, "tomorrow I'm gonna wake up around noon and grace the world with my very presence." It is with that thought that you drift off into a peaceful and quiet sleep, tucked all cozy in your own bed.
Next thing you know, it is 6:00 am and there are strangers in your room, shaking you, squirting you with water guns, sounding sirens and yelling at you through a megaphone. You are near the point of having a heart attack, or at least tears.
"What is going on?"
Well, this was somewhat the general reaction of 9 middle school students yesterday. Dylan, Ali and myself set out on an excursion to snatch some students right out of their own bed and in their pj's and take them to breakfast. It was a truly awesome time! We snagged these students - Andrew, 3 Rachel's, Zack, Alex, Zoey, Brock and Susanna - an took them all to Ihop, the beach and Starbucks. We had a great time laughing, playing, talking about Jesus and just goofing off.
I have to say, though it was wicked early, I really enjoyed spending that time with the students.
So, until next time...
For His Kingdom...
