‘Prepare’

B2SR is THIS WEEKEND!!  I cannot believe it is time for the Back-to-school-retreat already.  The youth staff, volunteers, speaker, band, and many others have been working very hard to be prepared for this weekend.  I personally was in the midst of working hard on something for the retreat and found myself saying, “wow, I sure am doing a lot of work for this retreat.  It is really good of me to do all this.”  Then it was like God just brought my mind to all that He has and is doing to prepare this time for all of you.  His work, His preparations for you are SOOOOOOOOOO much greater than even my best work for you.  Look what He is doing.  Look what He has done…for you…for His GLORY.
