This past week Josh and a few adult leaders from our church DROVE 16 high school students to Colorado Springs, Colorado for a youth conference called Desperation. Up until about 3 months ago we had no idea this conference exsisted but when our new senior pastor started at our church he told Josh about the conference and said we should take our students. Looking at our packed summer youth schedule we weren’t sure how it was going to work but we knew it had to happen somehow! Once we knew we were taking students to the conference we had people who began praying for the Lord to show His strength and mercy and reveal himself to our students in ways they could not have imagined!
And boy did He! I just flew back home from Colorado and my mind feels a bit numb after what I experienced this weekend at Desperation. To be praying for the Lord to transform lives and anticipating the work that God wanted to do in the lives of our students at Evergreen and then to be abudantly blessed to be a vessel for what He had planned had me on my knees this weekend in awe of God’s faithfulness and mercy!
A precious life was saved this weekend and I praise God with everything I have within me! This song is on my heart because it beautifully describes the work God did this weekend in the heart of this student who has been redeemed! Praise the Lord! He is SO worthy of our praise!
You’re My Beloved- Kari Jobe
You’re My Beloved
You’re My Bride
To sing over you is My delight
Come away with Me My love
You’re Beautiful to Me
So beautiful to Me
Under My mercy
Come and wait
Till we are standing face to face
I see no stain on you
My child
You’re Beautiful to Me
So Beautiful to Me
I sing over you My song of peace
Cast all your care down at My feet
Come and find your rest in Me
I’ll breathe My life inside of you
I’ll bear you up on eagle’s wings
And hide you in the shadow of My strength
I’ll take you to My quiet waters
I’ll restore your soul
Come rest in Me and be made whole
You’re My beloved
You’re My Bride
To sing over you is my delight
Come away with me my love

Wow, this post just made me cry! I think my heart really misses opportunities like this one watching God move in such an obvious way in peoples lives. I am so glad that you guys, and the youth had such an amazing time and I will be praying that you all remain open to continuing the work that was started at the conference. Can’t wait to hear all about it!

praise God for His almighty power over absolutely anything and everything that might try to stand against Him and hurt His precious children in their life with Him … praise Him for His great grace and loving mercy to honest and open hearts!!
