You know… there comes a time when you sense that something you’ve created is starting to get bigger than you… bigger than you could have imagined because God has taken hold of it? Here’s an example of that.
Less than two weeks before Christmas, a good friend of mine posted a dire prayer request on a youth ministry forum we both visit. Money’s tight this year and their van broke down. It looked like her two young daughters wouldn’t be finding any presents under their tree this Christmas. Sure, Christmas isn’t all about the presents, but try explaining no toys in shiny wrapping paper to a three and four year-old. Read the rest at Amy’s blog, Atypical Musings.
When Derek and I swallowed hard and decided that in our "spare time" (whatever that means to full time ministry people!) we’d begin YMX just a few weeks ago… we had some idea what it could become. As I pray for this little fledgling thing… it’s stories like this that make this little hobby so cool. For a lot of hurting people out there, it’s my continued prayer that YMX will be an extension of Christ’s ministry to them.
