Breathing Easy

Home Sweet Home…

After nine months of recruitment my job is officially finished. I walked the halls of many high schools across the Western provinces, set foot on a few campgrounds, and walked the street of Regina as a Street Invader.

Needless to say I’m exhausted but I’m oh so excited about reflecting about the past experiences and looking back to see what God has done in my life, and the lives of those around me.

What an opportunity recruitment was; a chance to share my heart with people, whom, for the most part were willing to listen to me. I felt honored to have their time, if only for a brief moment.

My favorite part of the summer was Street Invaders, because it was a time where I could see the growth of people on my team, and in a very tangible form, the blessings of the Lord. I was blessed with a terrific church, with a fantastic youth group, in a wonderful city. There was nothing I could have done to make it any better. Watching my team be themselves, speaking to me, it was if I didn’t even need to be there. The Lord was in control and it was so evident form the beginning, because in all honesty I couldn’t have survived otherwise. He is good. He is so good.

I’m wishing this update was a little more humorous so I’ll add a few highlights…
- Craig and Greg’s romantic comedy nights
- Getting kicked out of Wascana park and Cornwall mall
- Destroying an anthill empire with an elbow drop

A few of the funny moments that graced me this summer, but definitely not all.

Looking back I can see the places the Lord has brought me and it excites me for the future. I can only imagine and dream the places we’ll head to next.

Humility is something that I pray for regularly and on the night of August 20th I got yet another answer to my prayer. I had parents from two different kids on my team come up to me and asked what happened to their kids. They were wide-eyed in appreciation. They were trying to thank me…I wasn’t sure what to do, except direct their praise to the one who really deserved it. It’s so humbling to be used by the Creator to change a life, oh so humbling…
