Heart Happy

Ever have those moments of discovery and revelation that blow you away? I'm having that today.I'm here in Starbucks, just finished putting together my message for youth group tonight. I feel close to God right now. I started feeling a huge  passion for what I'm speaking about tonight. A passion greater than I have felt over anything else I've written for my students. I think I did more Biblical research on today's message than I ever have before. I've spent more time comparing old to new testament. And the further I researched, the more excited I felt! The best feeling ever. When I feel something like this, I literally feel like I have drunk 20 energy drinks inside. Excitement spills over, my heart is light, and I feel like I have something inside of me bursting to get out and explode. Its a feeling I have only ever felt when I am at my closest to Jesus. To be given the opportunity  the privilege, to speak the words God places in my heart to teenagers is my biggest dream. To be able to live that dream, and see that dream become more than I had imagined is so...so...Incredible. Awesome. Amazing, and just about every exciting adjective I can think of. A couple weeks ago at youth group, I had the privilege to lead 2 people to Christ for the first time, and 2 people to rededicate their lives to God. Have you ever known how it feels to be used by God to bring more people into his freedom? Its a feeling that I can't describe or adequately express. Its so honoring, and humbling to be used by the creator of the universe and the savior of the world.  I'm on a daily first name basis with the most powerful and influential man who ever lived. I'm in the family of the One who created the world we live in. I know him. I talk to him everyday. My heart is truly happy.
