Dancing for Forgiveness
Last night, our Senior Leader, Mike Pumphrey spoke to us from God's Word.
The passage was First Corinthians 10. His main point was that our heart is like an 'Idol Factory'. God really moved in such a way through this message that when it came time to respond to Him in worship I was amazed to find most students worshiping, not in words and song, but worshiping by falling on their knees and crying out to Jesus for forgiveness. After a few songs, symbolizing repentance, the students rose to their feet and sang with all their might, thanking God for His grace and forgiveness.
After spending some time singing and dancing (yes we were literally dancing for joy) the leaders decided that it would be a great idea to celebrate what God had done. And after some discussion we decided that there would be no better way to celebrate than to celebrate with food! So the team loaded up on the bus and headed out at about 11 P.M. for Sheetz.
With all this said, yesterday was an amazing day.
The morning began with some manual labor. Then after working up a sweat pulling weeds and washing the bus, the students had their first experience with showering with a hose.
The evening consisted of several teaching times, dinner, and a much needed Wal-Mart run.
Finally, after the celebration stop at Sheetz, the students quickly headed off to bed here at the church.
Please pray for grace as the students continue to live lives of service to Jesus. After last night, a lot of decisions have been made as barriers of the heart were broken down. So please ask God to enable idol-free lives here on the Potomac Team.
