Time to Celebrate: One More in the Kingdom!

Something really awesome happened today, and if you read the title of this blog, then you'll probably have a pretty good idea of what happened. ;)

Today at school I felt led to do a treasure hunt at lunch, which is where you pray and God gives you words describing someone and/or gives you a word for that person (i.e. "You are going to do mighty things for God and He has a big plan for you." or something like that). So Ashley, Makayla, and I went to one of the practice rooms in the choir room to eat lunch before we did the treasure hunt. While Makayla was playing some worship on the piano and Ashley and I were eating, this girl walked in that's been coming to Youth on Fire for a while. Her and Ashley ended up talking, and before I knew it Ashley was giving her Scripture and started praying for her. Makayla then asked me if I could "flow" on the piano while her and Ashley prayed for this girl. So I started playing various worship songs, and after a few minutes of praying and flowing, the girl ended up leaving. "What just happened?" Ashley asked. "I don't know..." I said, not realizing what had happened. Makayla and Ashley ended up telling me that the girl had gotten saved, and I was like, "WHAT?!" (in a good way). None of us had really quite known "what" had happened, but the girl accepted the Lord into her heart. We all got really excited about this because we've been praying that people would see God's goodness on our high school campus and come to know Him, and this was the first salvation we've seen since we've been doing Youth on Fire. The funny thing was that it wasn't even Wednesday, and it wasn't even Youth on Fire. God caught us by surprise and we had no idea it was coming.

All-in-all, God's glory was shown today. A new daughter entered the kingdom and all of heaven is rejoicing over her. Let this be an encouragement to you; expect God to do things that you don't expect. And I guarantee you that most of the time, it's gonna be something awesome that you'll enjoy even more because you didn't know it was coming. And because God was given the glory. :)
