Tonight I am a proud parent.
As my husband and I sit watching Christian comedy on YouTube, Caylea and Daniel are at the Healing Hearts Youth night.  Caylea has been taking the lead for the youth ministry and its been neat to see her grow through this.  There were a couple of boys attending last year and not necessarily a regular guy to hang out with the guys.  So Caylea conscripted her brother, Daniel.  And he seems to be thriving in his role as "cool youth sponsor guy"!  Without trying too hard, the guys seem to be drawn to Daniel. 
But what makes me feel so thankful and a little proud is when I overhear their planning meetings, along with Daniel's girlfriend, Danae and our Healing Hearts intern, Carolyn (from Millar College of the Bible).  I hear them discussing fun activities and scheduling who is leading which Wednesday.
And then to hear them discussing their Bible study topics.  Going through the book of Genesis.  And to sometimes get the privilege of hearing their debriefs after a youth night, when they talk about who prayed out loud.  Or who had offered to pray for them as leaders!
I'm excited to see Caylea and Daniel, Danae and Carolyn bring their enthusiasm and love for God and impart it to the youth!
From a humble start in the fall with 4 church kids to sometimes up to 9 or 10 by Christmas, we are witnessing how God can use the up and coming young adults to minister the Gospel to the next generation.
Lord, bless them tonight as they clean the church and then study Scriptures and pray together.  May revival start with our youth!
