Saturday mornings are quickly becoming my favorite part of the week. The management team dresses up according to some theme, like the "Smurfs" or "Sweatin' to the oldies," but that's not why I like it. Slowly our warehouse begins to fill with staff that have been out on trips all week. They've been tested and tried. They've been through some of the toughest things they've ever faced, and been brought to tears by what God does in a group during a CP week. Then on Saturday they see all the others who have been through it, too. They greet eachother with such excitement and joy and love.
This weekend I heard stories of 6-hour-long worship sessions. I heard of powerful times of prayer in the rain. I heard of important conversations that lasted well into the night. As part of the management team, we don't always get to be there for these amazing moments when God is at work. Saturday mornings are a chance for me to glimpse at the wonders of who God is. I see God's joy, patience and love as staff return from service, adventure, and worship.
This Saturday morning promises another dress-up theme. And I can't wait to see the faces of friends greeting eachother after another week, and to hear the stories- whatever God has for them this week.
