Today was my favorite Sunday since we have been in Dallas.
The weather was beautiful and this morning we visited WAKE, the junior high ministry at Watermark Community Church. Middle school worship has DRASTICALLY improved changed since the days of "Waves of Mercy." Not that repetitive hand motions and a song that gets stuck in your head faster than a Kylie Mynogue anthem are not fun and take me back to my days at Second Baptist youth group...but worship with lyrics that speak pure TRUTH to the hearts of 6-8th graders is refreshing.
As we stood awkwardly by ourselves at WAKE (something I love about being married--you're never totally ALONE in awkward situations) and hoped for one of the other youth group volunteers to introduce themselves, someone came up to talk to us. Turns out, the main pastor of the junior high ministry was Jimmy's counselor at Pine Cove camp when he was a 6th grader!! (Long before Jimmy was ever a counselor there!) SMALL WORLD or what?! I hope he was blessed by seeing one of his old campers pursuing Christ and getting plugged in to disciple students at Watermark.
To commemorate the beginning of our middle school small groups, (possibly high-school--still praying about where God wants to use us) enjoy some pictures of Jimmy and I in middle school (7-8th grade I think).
