NLYC Tour

 
Currently Reading
Praise Habit: Finding God In Sunsets And Sushi
By David A. Crowder

NLYC Tour starts next week.  I'm pretty pumped up about it.  I need to post more.  Since I haven't done Youth Group devotionals in awhile (because of our book study) I've got things I wanna share with you guys just spilling out of me.  Usually, though, I don't get them down on paper and I lose them.  Not good.  Anyway, keep the choir in prayer next week as we travel and also pray that the people who see the choir would be truly ministered to and that the Spirit would move in the hearts of people who desperately need to know God.  Be praying also for me as I serve in leadership of our church and the choir.  It seems like there are a lot of people around me right now that are hurting, seeking earnestly and desiring joy, but not knowing how to find it.  My hope is that nothing I would do would be for my own ego, but that I can be the man and pastor that God has called me to be.  That I can be an effective witness.  That I can be a Godly leader.  That I can be a man called and consecrated, for nothing but the Glory of God!  Amen!

Thanks guys.  Just wanna tell you that I love you.  All of you.  Thanks for loving me as a pastor and friend.  It inspires me and encourages me in ways you all could never know. 

God's been so very good to me!

-Pastor Josh

aww Pastor Josh Blackstone! NLYC we might come see in Torrington when you guys are in the area.. probably ganna show up a bit late but still thinking of coming. It's at the advent christian church right? you are doing an awesome job with those kids and you know what, i remember that i came to BICS because of you and that because of your testimony way back in highschool when you worked with my youth group that i wouldn't be where i am as a christian if you hadn't come.. just figured i'd share that with you!

God Bless-Kendra

Hey JB, thanks for the post on Erika's blog. I'm jazzed to hear you say what you said to her about being an encouragement and not just another member in some big club. God has been saying similar things to me about what I'm to do and it's great to have that reinforced and to be reminded of it.
