ADVENTURES OF THE EXPERIENCE: Soldiers for Jesus 5/21

5/21: Working Hard, Tornado , and Biker Club

Today was a great day. I felt refreshed and renewed after late nights confession. I felt Satan trying to attack me but I just shouted the name of Jesus and reminded him that I am Jesus’s child redeemed and set free so he can get the heck out of here! JESUS!!! Today was a busy day as well we interns and several staff spent most of the day, with small breaks to each, in the office finishing up the Spiritual Life Notebooks as well as sorting, printing, folding, stuffing, and organizing hundreds and hundreds of newsletters for some of the speakers ands staff. luckily we had some machines that folded, stamped, and sealed the letters but we still had to do a lot of work by had as well and some of the machines Recoh (the printer/copier/faxer) and Phill (the stamper/letter sealer) had a temperament and decided to jam, not print, or just stop working all together over and over again but we made it through with a little of our sanity left. it was a very long day in the office. today we also had hail and another tornado warning. our outdoor classroom decided to blow away and a about 8 of us had to go run it down before it flew into the dare care down the street.  about that time a siren went off, I’m guessing for a tornado warning. It was so fascinating and a little ire watching, right above us, the clouds move so fast and going ever witch direction and swirling around in circular motion. part of me wanted to see a funnel form right then and there, but no such luck. It just began to rain and hail and then 10 minutes later it  was sunny again #ColoradoWeather!

Once we got about done with all the work in the office our dinner guest rode up! Tonight was a cultural dinner where the  bike club Soldiers for Jesus. At first glance they could look intimidating, with their beards, tattoos, slicked back hair, black leather jackets, and load bikes but they area some of the most warm hearted, funny, &  friendly  people you could ever meet! They might be rough on the edges but they have a huge heart for God and a boldness that not many Christians have. The are people have a special calling on life to reach the 1%ers. To share the love of Christ with them by just being there for them and living life with them. We got to sit around the tables an hear stories about and from them some really funny and others powerful and challenging. towards the end of dinner they came up and shared about who they are and what they do. some tuff people but so awesome as well!

Gavin and Skyler had the evening off and headed home around 6 so I stayed the night at the hotel with the students. it was really awesome getting to chill in the pool and lobby with some of the students and see them interact with each other. I watched as 28 students, who a week ago didn’t know anything beside a name a picture of each other, have conversations, speak truth into, laugh, and challenge each other life they have known each other for years. they truly have become a awesome family and its only been a week! cant wait to see how this team develops over the rest of the summer! they have a lot a head of them!

PRAYER
