Uplifting Teen Devotional

We had the privilege this past Sunday night to help with the teen devotional after church.  Our teens have a devotional 2 Sunday nights a month in the home of one of our members.  They typically have singing, a short devotional thought, and then food prepared by the host/hostess (and let me tell you it is like ants on honey when they are released to the food!).  We don’t go very often, but this week Josh filled in for Ryan (our youth/associate minister) since he had surgery on Wednesday.

I sure do love being around the youth of the church to feel their energy and excitement for Jesus!  We have a great group of kiddos at Seven Oaks (yes, I am officially old enough to refer to teenagers as kiddos:).  I have watched several of them grow up in the 9 years we have been at Seven Oaks. (Ok, that just made me feel really old! Ha!!)

I had to take two pictures of the group to get them all in!!

Our teen group loves to sing, and boy did I enjoy singing with them (even though we had to bail on the song that I requested because it was WAY TOO HIGH! Ha!).  I also really enjoyed seeing my kids sit in the middle of the circle singing along and getting to soak up the influence of so many giving their time to attend the devo!

We love our youth and look forward to seeing what God has in store for them as they choose to put Him first in their lives!

Here’s what Caleb did the whole time…he’s such a difficult baby:)
