Isn't God Great? It's just amazing how he works without us realising anything and then wham! he hits you right between the eyes. I was sat in a meeting earlier on today with Paul from WYFC talking about the future of youthministy in Wycombe, we were dreaming dreams discussing how we'd like to see churches working together, working in schools and being committed to joint projects when wham!

Paul mentions a little dream he's got, one he's been thinking formulating and mulling over in his mind. One which is very similar to a dream that I been thinking through the practicalities of, in recent weeks. This conversation some might say is a coincidence; "great so two people are thinking along the same lines," but when you consider that I met with both Sarah and Stella last week, and amazingly they too had been thinking big, dreaming dreams - and thir dreams tied in with the things that we were discussing as well, you have to celebrate, you can only exclaim that God is great!

So what now....do we suddernly think that this is right go ahead get the keys to a double decker bus and start ploughing forward without a second thought? As ouir excitment levels wamnt us too. No, the sensible thing to do is to realise that God is the one in charge of this, and it's his plans that are being revealed to us rather, than our own that we are simply coming up with. There is no harm in getting excited about what God has in store for the young people of Wycombe, but it would only be foolish to run ahead and try implementing things. What we need to do is return to the source, to spend time seeking God, spend time praying and humbly coming before him expectantly, waiting for him to act and empower others.

All too often in youthministry we get excited by God, so we run off trying to do ourselves what we think he wants us to do (or at least I do) and then ask him to bless it all 10 min before the event actually starts. But lets start to become people of prayer, lets start to allow God to include us in his plan, rather than asking him to bless our own, lets become the servants that he calls us to be, seeking him in everything we do.

Let's learn to pray!
