"Jesus Rocks!"

  I had a random trip to Silver Dollar City tonight, I like walking around in busy places by myself, for some reason it helps me think sometimes.  I love it when God starts connecting little things in my life because thats when I know I'm on the right path, on His path for me.  Like when I read a verse in my devo, then hear a song about it and then hear someone preach about it all in the same afternoon.  Or take the past few days for instance...I've been praying about my future and how I feel God leading me to youth ministry.  And all these random things keep happening like a chance to hang and chat with some cool high school chicks, some twitter conversations that give me lots of insight into what I'd be surrounded by everyday, and then these boys at SDCity.  For some reason I kept running into this group of christian boys who were probably 13ish.  They were acting all ridiculous, wearing their Bob the tomato and Dora hats and Jesus Rocks dog tags yelling at random people "hey, Jesus Rocks."  And it just made me smile, cause there is just something about youth that I love.  No matter how much drama you have to put up with, the laughter, love, energy, and moldability that comes with being a teen makes it all worth while.  Seeing those boys running around having a great time made me think of all the great trips to SDC, concerts, camps and retreats that I had with my youth group.  And it got me totally pumped to be able to open up doors for more teens to be able to have the same great experiences I did; the experiences that were more than just fun times but times of growth and being fed the Word.  I'm super under-qualified right now but God knows what he's doing so if He says "Go this way" I'm going.  I know it will be great.
