Living Rarefied

YL club last night was a glimpse of what I have dreamed about for over 4
years now.  Chaos, yet controlled, rambuncious yet attentive…

A buddy of mine Robbie, finally made it to his first YL gathering.  He graduated HS a year ago and is at Gustavus now and dropped in for a bit.

We ate 3 huge CostCo pizzas with the students in record time.

A few kids that have come before, but I haven't seen in awhile came.

Played another few games of sardines where for 20 minutes nobody could find Alexis, she was on top of the refrigerator…

2 freshman girls came by for the first time, we're not sure who invited them, which is a cool part in itself.  They walked into a dark house of 15 kids and 5 leaders running around, some screaming, some laughing.  But nobody noticed they were there for a few minutes.  I met them in the dark, then got to meet them again when the lights were on.  We thanked them for coming and said we'd love to see them again.  They responded with a definate yes!

Seeing my sister Alexis hush a crowd of 20 with her stories and message was amazing.  I have been giving talks for 3+ years and haven't had that kind of attention with even 1 student!

Seeing God's sense of humor with her.  She gets nervous and then he puts the most kids in front of her that this ministry has ever seen in 1 room.  As an older brother, I love that kind of humor.

Visions for the house that has been opened up for us to use are gaining clarity.  Vision for the ministry are gaining clarity and traction.

I feel like we have been a snowflake, gathering with a few other snowflakes and have been ready to get together for a snowball, but there hasn't been any snow.  The snow is beginning to fall, and there are quite a few people who want to see how big a snowball we can make!
