this morning, i thought my heart was going to swell right out of my chest.

every tuesday morning at 7:30 i meet a bunch of teens from ob pres for a bible study. each one is genearlly amazing because, well, we have it on the beach and each week i can see a hunger for the Lord in these teens eyes that makes something ignite in me. it makes me hungry for the word. so it goes without saying that i feel like i'm living in a movie or a dream every tuesday morning.

but this morning, they blew me away. after the lesson ended and we had shared prayer requests and prayed about them we sat around talking about random things. people would remember small prayer requests so they'd bring them up incase people would think about them later. it hit me that i should ask them to remember me in prayer about wanting to be sonrise's youth minister. (this is a huge story in and of itself that i will not elaborate upon right now) what happen next made me feel like john (i think it was john) when jesus sat at his feet to wash them. he pulled back, embarassed telling jesus not to wash them. i also felt like suddenly i was on holy ground and needed to take off my shoes (even though i wasn't wearing anyways)...

they got up, crowded around me and prayed over me. suddenly these teens stepped up and lifted me up to the Lord in ways i've never seen any of the leaders i've been working with do.

the teenagers of the outer banks rock my world. i can't wait to see them rock everyone else's.
