kids, man

Thank God for the ones who have allowed me in their lives. Not that I am not a kid, but the pseudo(fabricated)-gap between the high schooler and college student is enough for them to look to you and enough for me to learn from them. I can't even begin anywhere, so I'll just touch on the the overarching theme of WEAG Seek Youth Choir Tour 2011.

These kids love God.

With a passion that is undying and unashamed. They have no qualms praising him anywhere, wether on a beach boardwalk, city park or in a church. I have never seen a group of 100+ kids worshiping like they did. To paraquote the song "Praise Him in Advance," by Marvin Sapp, "They started singin', they started clappin', they started dancin', people were laughin'. The people knew they had problems and pain, but the kids knew that God did and would take them away."

These kids love the Lord. They are unashamed to spread his name on the busy streets of New York city and are uninhibited when it comes to praying for strangers. The fact that they touched so many peoples lives with their music was incredible, but that isn't even the half of it.

They found Him. A deeper meaning of who He is and shared His love to those who needed it. And they cared. Not about what they thought, but what about He wanted to do through them.

Being able to go on a choir tour again has been a beautiful experience for me. It was such an encouragement and I have learned a ton from these kids about what it means to really surrender yourself to Jesus Christ.

They are all beautiful.
