What are you worth?

Wow! What an amazing time with all of you tonight. I felt like walls were broken down and that people's hurts and pains were unveiled. The Holy Spirit definetly mended broken hearts and rescued weary souls. Praise God for the seven new brothers and sisters that were brought from darkness to light. Praise God for Ethan's testimony. Praise God for the countless hugs and prayers. Praise God for the tears. Praise God for you. Don't forget that you are valued, you have a purpose and that this too shall pass. I am so blessed to have such incredible students show up each week. You rock and you're worth dying for.

Adam, you really touched a lot of hearts tonight. It was very powerful and everyone needed to hear it. God really spoke through you and used you tonight. Way to go!

Tonight was amazing. I loved all the hugs. :)

I am just so amazed about how wonderful God is. He is answering my prayers non stop. I am realizing that when I get mad at God because he doesn't answer my prayers right away that doesn't mean he isn't listening. He's showing me that I have like NO patience and that is something I need to work on.

Also, I think he just showed me how important it really is to love on people. There was a girl that I used to be friends with but when I wanted to grow with God, I pushed her aside and among other things, we grew apart and there was bitterness and tension. We talked about it a couple of months ago and worked it out, I invited her to youth group and tonight my friend Grace walked up and accepted Christ as her Lord and savior!!! Praise God!!!

Another girl that I have known for years and I've watched struggle with things was there and also walked up there. Praise God again!!!!

I was shaking and crying and just speechless to see my prayers answered in such big ways. When you are starting to doubt God, don't. He is so amazing and he loves you and isn't going to leave or forsake you. You mean WAY WAY WAY too much to him. Don't give up on him. I promise you and so does he that he won't give up on you :)

Jesus loves you. So do I!!!

Wow! What a powerful night! I seriously felt that Adam was speaking right to me when he said that sometimes we don't value people by ignoring them or leaving them sitting all alone. I know about this all too well; I've been on the receiving end of this for many years, well ever since my best friend Naomi Hanson moved away.
When Adam said,"Even if others don't see you as worth their time, God does. He made you, and you are special to him.", I started crying. I was just reminded how loved and special I really am. I cried more last night than I've ever cried before. I felt so loved when I saw that I wasn't alone in my struggles.
Thanks Sooooo much, Adam!!!
