Viva!

Day 2 of Fiesta! It was great we grew over night! If you havent' read my brother's post yet, you should as well as the reallife ministries post


They really got me thinking. Fiesta is not just a children's ministries event. It is a church wide event. It is youth getting involved with really important roles. They really do carry vital roles, Fiesta couldn't happen if I couldn't count on them. Many adults and families have joined together to fun the Fiesta stations. Without them Fiesta couldn't happen. Music is a vital part of Fiesta as well. Children's ministry gets things set up, but the church makes it happen. That is truly awesome.

I have to tell you, I had a great moment on stage tonight. I felt like a preacher. In a good way. I was up there talking about Jesus being your Life (viva). But not just saying it. That means if Jesus is with you, you want to go where Jesus wants you to go, do what Jesus wants you to do, think what Jesus wants you to think, and even say what Jesus wants you to say. I just felt so passionate at that moment. I was in that preachy mode where the preacher sort of raises their voice in passion. I like that feeling. It was the "this is what God wants me to say to you, I know for sure, so here it is. Tell it like it is."

Tomorrow is going to be awesome!

hey mag,
i haven't read the whole post yet, but thought you might want to update the links.

right now you simply link to the main page of the two blogs. but if you go to the particular post you're refering to and click on the "post time" at the end of the article, it will take you to a page with just that post on it. (copy the url from the address bar on that page)

that way days, weeks, months or years from now people will read what you intended them to read in reference to your article. and not be wondering what you were talking about when their redirected to just the main page.

i'll probably read more in depth later and leave more comments once vbs is behind us.

(ok, i just finished reading the post) great post: i heard the change in your voice at that point. you are a preacher, it's in you.

here's the links you need:
