"How's that bracelet comin' along? It looked pretty swagalicious this morning."

Monday mornings that start with sprinkles are better. And you just can't beat Monday mornings with this crew of 7th grade girls talking about Love Does.

Other Junior High highlights today included: friendship bracelet string from Avery, a note on my desk from Brookie Cookie and Tiffany rocking a denim jumper like she was born to do it.

These people-- they're just phenomenal. Tonight Young Life looked like Love Tanks notes for Schu, stories from Felipe about following God all over the world, a giant all girl group, old friends returning and new friendships just starting. It was a good night. 

We talked about these verses at the end of Campaigners-- this is something we should all come back to over and over again. "The moment we get tired in the waiting, God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don’t know how or what to pray, it doesn’t matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our condition, and keeps us present before God. That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good. God knew what he was doing from the very beginning." Romans 8:26-27
