It’s the weekend. The first week of VOICE is over and the weekend bliss has begun. It’s Sunday and we are just about to head out to Bricktown for a night of shopping and ice cream. Last night was an awesome night at the park. As we were about to load into the vans to make our way to the park, Wes made an announcement of what to do if it starting pouring rain. The sky was getting dark and everyone could hear the occasional thunder. We all cringed as we where on our way over to the park, crossing our fingers in hopes that the rain would hold over until after our fun was over. As we all gathered at the park to begin playing a hilarious game of “capture the ball”, Wes told the students that he thought we should just pray and ask that God would just hold back the storm so that we wouldn’t have to go back. So we as a group, bowed our heads and made a simple request asking God to interfere in a way only He could.
The games began. Whether It was kicking around a soccer ball in bare feet, swinging, football…everyone had loads of fun. We played and played, and still no storm. As we starting packing up to go back a couple hours later, it occurred to us that the storm passed right over us.. That’s just how amazing our God is. 🙂 It was an awesome display of His power and how much He cares about even the small things.
This past week, for me, has been a continual reminder of the power of our Heavenly Father. I can’t wait to see what God has for this week….
Oh and I wouldn’t recommend playing soccer without shoes. You might be in some pain the next day. 🙂
