God's green thumb.
"What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe -- as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow." 1 Corinthians 3:5-7Last night, 120 kids turned up to a hall filled with a bunch of old rugs, cardboard props, "curtains" made with odd bits of fabric we got for $2, cheese and crackers, and punch left over from a wedding earlier that day. We played a Murder Mystery game, then heard a short talk. Don't get me wrong, the place looked fabulous (never seen the hall look so good) and I am so proud of my youth group girls for all their efforts and lateral thinking ideas. But in the end, that's all it was. And the speaker preached faithfully, but it wasn't high rhetoric or hilarious or gimmicky or slick. There was nothing fancy or spectacular about it.
But 30 kids decided that they wanted to follow Jesus, or that they want to know more about him.
It was definitely not us. I came home learning the hugest lesson about the power of God.
Yay! Go God...
