Went up to Southwest Christian High School in Edgerton on Wednesday to speak at a spiritual renewal day with Troy and Dawn leading music worship.
I was tired. Dead tired. Everyone said that all babies do is sleep, eat, and poop. Well, they got two out of three right. This kid does not like to sleep -
- at least during the night. He'll sleep all day if you let him. He'll sleep so hard that you can't get him woken up. You think he must be in a coma. You shake his legs, his arms, you pinch his cheeks - nothing. You try to get him to feed. He stirs for a little bit - then nothing.
At night though, he's WIDE awake.
So with little to no sleep I went to speak in Minny Soda with Troy and Dawn. Let's just say that it's good God works in spite of me. The day went great.
The first talk was . . . well . . . kind of blah. I was tired, it was morning, I did the best I could. Afterwards though, they had an open mic session for the kids to give some testimonies and it was unbelievable. Some kids came forward and really opened up in a deep way. There were hugs, and tears, and lots of peer support. Troy, Dawn, and I all just looked at each other and went, "Okay, that was pretty cool!"
Since the students were so into it, we scrapped the schedule for the rest of the day and just went right back into worship. Troy and Dawn were fantastic. Troy played this new song by this guy named Trace Elliot (wink, wink), and I've been singing it nonstop since I got home.
What a day! I hope the school can keep up the feeling that was created on Wednesday.
I was very happy to crash home late Wednesday night and slip Carson into my arms from Grandma so we could rock awhile.
I'm home for the week and then Troy, Dawn, and I all take off again for Florida to lead worship for a week at a SERVE site in Bradenton.
Till next time,
Jason
