Did you mean me?

The last few days this song has really spoken to me. I reflect on so much these days - I guess that is what people do when they start getting older or maybe its just what I am doing and can't believe what is happening to me. All in a good way because I never thought I would be doing what I do and putting my time, energy and passion into something so much bigger than myself and so much more important. I mean come on, God using me like this? It was a special moment last night when Kyle HAD to go to bible study last night. It was a special moment when one of "MyKids" asked me to take her to school for a team building function and "PLEEEEASE" in that little tone came out... man those are special moments indeed.



Todd Agnew - "Did you mean me?"

I've heard these stories all my life

Every Sunday morning I met Jesus at the feltboard

I've heard these stories so many times

Of how and why You died And how I can live

But You said all sins can be forgiven

But when You said that did You mean me? Did You mean me?



You said that we could be more like You

But did you know what I'd do How I'd fall so short?

And You said confession leads to healing

Do you see I'm here and kneeling And I'm still not well

But You said that faith can move a mountain

But when You said that did You mean me? Did You mean me

When You said we were made in Your image?'

Cause I don't see much of You in this reflection

Did you mean me

When you said we would do even greater things?'

Cause I don't see anything that I have to offer You

Did You mean me?



Yes He meant you.... He meant me. On purpose and intentional. The last week or so I have been reading the word "Illuminate" a lot. Its a great word with a great meaning. One that means to bring light to a dark place. I tell "MyKids" every chance they get to shine ...cause for some and they know who they are, are really bright these days. Proud of them as they take their faith and shine into their dark world. This past Sunday I challenged our students with a list of things they could do to serve others. In small ways to help experience God and not wait for the big event like camp and Christmas and all. Every day ... exercise their belief, the God they say they trust in and experience Him in their daily walk. I can't wait to hear some of their stories. I know Kyle is checking off his list every day with such excitement. He told me last night I should do this again with a different set of ideas. I think I may just do that..... :)
Busy couple of days ahead. Going to see on of "MyKids" wrestle his first match this afternoon. I did that for many years so it will be exciting as I relive my own wrestling matches. Panthers game tonight, tomorrow YCI at the middle school - Carol is coming this week so that will be cool for her to experience what God is doing on Friday mornings with those students and the leaders there. Tomorrow night we are going to the bonfire on the church land. Saturday morning I am taking 2 of "MyKids" to a neighbor that we helped over the summer during Thirst Camp. We are going to check in with her and see if there is anything we could do for her before the Christmas holiday. Hope she has a good list for us to tackle...... Then it will be count down for Thanksgiving!
Peace,
