watch this video. i'm part of the skate track. :) cousin carrie is part of the create track. God does so much through these tracks it's unreal. He doesn't have to use these tracks or us, but He chooses to do so. This past Friday was absolutely unreal. There is no way other to describe it. I was completely emptied before I went to skate track. Friday morning God was wrecking my controlling self for the better. Long story short, I literally tried to hide from God because I was so overwhelmed with everything that He has been doing. I literally ran back to my bed and hid under the covers. Two minutes after laying there God spoke to me just as He spoke to Adam in Genesis, "Sarah, where are you?" It wasn't that God didn't know where I was. He was saying Sarah climb out of bed. Why are you hiding? After I kind of pulled myself together I went to talk to my small group leader, Nova. After I finished talking to her I had about 5 minutes until I had to meet for skate track at 1:45. I was so emptied, emotional, tired, and so on. But, I told Nova that I really didn't want to go, but was going to be obedient because God will bless it. Who would have known how much He was going to bless me!!!!
We arrived at the skate park and soon as I stepped foot on that park my attitude and strength was renewed. I began talking to one of the guys, Jeremy, who is a Christian and part of the local youth group. In the middle of our conversation I looked down the fence and this guy, Ryan, was down there so my crazy self gave him an obnoxious smile and wave. He doesn't usually talk a lot or make much eye contact, but Ryan gave me a grin and a head nod. PS. that means something. Anyway, I went to talk to him and basically God gave me the opportunity to hang out with him for the entire evening. It was an amazing time. I really enjoyed chilling with him. He's been through a bunch of crap this last year and it breaks my heart so lift him up in your prayers. While I was hanging out with Ryan, Jimmy led this kid, named Jude, to Jesus. Then an hour later this guy named Sean started repenting sins he'd never told anyone before to our DTS school leader and track leader, Shaun. Shaun led Sean to Jesus and it was AMAAAAZZZING. Sean literally looked like he was high off the Holy Spirit..and he was! You think that's enough??!!?! Well I thought that was completely outrageous, but the Holy Spirit continued to move. Donovan came out of the skate park, saw Sean, and asked him what was wrong with him because he looked high. Sean said, "I just got saved." I wish you could have seen his face. This kid and all of us were speechless. The Holy Spirit was blowing us away. Donovan looked at Sean once again and then said Shaun, "I want what Sean has." So THENNNN, Shaun led Donovan to the Lord. During the prayer Shaun had his left hand on Donovan's right shoulder. After they prayed Donovan asked Shaun if Jesus was touching his shoulder too. Donovan said that while Shaun was holding his right shoulder he felt Jesus holding his left shoulder. WOW WOW WOW. Not only did God show up in these examples, he showed up in other ways too. It just reminds me over and over again that God's power is made perfect in our weakness and that when we are weak he is strong. He has been teaching me that this week. Truly amazing. This is just the skate track. The other tracks are create, media, and justice.
God bless us with your strength this week. Love you Lord!
