Day 73

I have spent the past 2 days working with the youth in the youth room at church. Our church is in an old wine cellar and the youth room is part of the old warehouse. needless to say it is not the prettiest part of the building or the cleanest. The youth have never really taken much interest or care of their room but my plan was to change that a bit. So we swept out, mopped out, painted, cleaned, polished, washed and personalised the room. They had started at the beginning of the year and gave up because it seemed like too big a job but now, after a couple of days of getting messy the youth have their enthusiasm back: as well as pink paint in their hair and green paint in their ears! Oh well, thats youth for you. :-)

Lord, I thank you so much for their energy, their lives and their relationships within the group. I pray that you bless each one of them and over the next few weeks with the number of conferences happening (Jour J, Detling, Soul Survivour, Chequer Tree Camp) that each of them can grow closer to you and understand you more. I thank you Lord for the plans you have for each one of them and the special people they are, and they are growing up to be.
