Youth Group Reunion

I just returned from a wonderful family reunion, but not an ordinary one. It was a reunion of my youth group from church- wonderful brothers and sisters in Christ that I shared many wonderful moments of laughter, drama, love, and most of all moments of spiritual growth.
We experienced the Lord together, and that is what drew us closer to each other, ultimately.

One of the most surreal moments was seeing 4 of the most influential spiritual influences of my growing up in one room! 2 youth minsters- one who led me to the Lord, and one who fostered my love for Jesus and ministry, one Sunday School teacher who singlehandedly helped me fall in love with Scripture and most of all, Jesus, and one fantastic mentor who helped mold me and shape my thoughts about who God wanted me to be in all areas of my life!! WOW!

One of the reasons I think this weekend was so amazing was because it reminds me of a family reunion that is to come!! Heaven will much like this, talking to one another about what God has done for us and seeing how far everyone has come in their personal relationship with Jesus. We'll have a chance to thank those who personally ministered to us and helped us grow, but most importantly, we'll finally be united fully with Christ!! What an amaing thing to look forward to. We will know and fully be known by the one who created us and bought us so that we would fully be His!! What a happy time that willl be!
