Seriously excited for church tonight. Definitely having a forced break from ministry reminded me how serious my calling is and how much I love working with students.
The above photo is my promo for Speed the Light, talking about how we are supposed to give the first fruits of our lives. Not only our finances (the ten percent is crazy important, not giving it is like stealing from God) but of our time, our energy, our passion.
Numbers 15:19-21 says this about first fruits; 19 and you eat the food of the land, present a portion as an offering to the LORD. 20Present a cake from the first of your ground meal and present it as an offering from the threshing floor. 21 Throughout the generations to come you are to give this offering to the LORD from the first of your ground meal.
The thing about first fruits is that it's the best of what we have to offer. Think of an ice cold sip of a fresh Dr. Pepper. Man, that first gulp is the best, when you crack it open and it's fizzing and icey and perfect. It's the very best that Dr Pepper has to offer. Now think about the last sip of Dr. Pepper. It's flat and dilluted and room temperature. What part of our lives do we offer first??
We are working on some new ministry ideas, one of them has been video announcements. Thus far I've been brainstorming and shooting, and Rob has been editing. We are hoping to get to a point where this is totally student driven, but we aren't there just yet. :) Here's this weeks announcements. I need to dig out last weeks and share, because it featured our kiddos. Man, that was some terrible acting, but they sure enjoyed it. :)
