NEW BLOG--will not be posting on this one anymore

Since I am not in Erin anymore I figured I will get a blog address that doesn't say that I am. So for now on I will be posting on my NEW BLOG--- www.kellenwiersma.blogspot.com

Well I have just returned from (what Jesse has named "Lift Off")...our first Thursday, Summer Sr High event.
I had no idea what to really expect going into this...but at the end of the night I feel it went well over all....though very very very far where I hope it will end up. All in all, for the first night of this...and with fairly little planning because of work, I am pretty happy with it.
We had 16 highschool students tonite...Eventually...We bumped the time back to 8pm cuz we knew sr highs are busy in the summers with summer jobs and soccer etc......but it's still tough for them to make it by 8pm even. So I was a little anxious at 8:15 when only 3 kids were there.....but we knew more were coming who had soccer until 8:30....and than also a bunch of others showed up that were totally unexpected.....
Just means for the next one I am gonna have to make some adjustments to make sure the night runs smoother even with people showing up really late. I am always humbled to reflect on ministries I am involved in and realize...I don't have a clue what I am doing....but yet, I keep learning, and I keep realizing that I don't really matter as much as I sometimes like to think, cuz God will use me any which way I let Him....amen to that...

well, much is going, Chandra, Dusty and Konrad and Tiernan are down from Montana. It's been great to have them here! Beginning next week, I will be running some stuff every other week for the Sr Highs in Chatham. Jesse will be helping out, and doing worship. Should be awesome!
This coming Sunday night (July 9) I will get an opportunity to preach at the evening service at GDAC. I always love the chance to preach, anywhere. Though it's always a little weird in Chatham since that is where I grew up.

I am saving up to buy a laptop for next year. Something that is can doing everything pretty well and good quality. Been looking at Dells, Macs, a little bit of HP....and Sony, but it's too expensive I think.....I think it might come down to a Dell or a Mac...any suggestions? (maybe someone like Paul could chime in on this!)

a reflection of You

How can anyone say: "this is not Your handiwork; there is no Creator"

Like an artists' brush stroke

So intricate, yet so bold

Continuing far beyond the page of my view.

My view is so very small

My perception fatally skewed

Yet when I catch just a glimpse

Of Your Glory

Your Majesty

Your Greatness.

I try to imagine,

what Holy really is

But I fall so short,

yet not out of reach of Your grace.

Intensely, I try to think of You;

to stand in awe

and trembling fear.

Yet I approach...

with a bold confidence.

The Creator of my flesh,

of my bones,

of the stars, each one named.

And beyond my imagination,

creation still waits; undiscovered

yet continually brings glory to Your Name.

I try to imagine...

You are impossible,

unimaginable,

inconceivable,

unfathomable.

You are Truely Lord, Truely God.
