You know how when you are small and are always trying to get your parents attention? “Mom, watch! Mom! Mom! Watch! Mom!” Sometimes I feel like that in my relationship with God. “Hey God, look! Look! Pay attention to me!” It would seem like a selfish thing, but I thing that is where God wants us. Faith like a child. He wants us doing whatever it takes to get His attention. And any good father wants his child to know that they have his attention. I think it’s the same when you are a pastor. It’s about attention. Giving them attention that they would not normally get…. being an extension of God’s attention towards them. Make sense? Today we went to one of our students awards ceremony at school… the look on her face was priceless when she saw us there! It’s always nice to know there are people in your life who would go so out of their way to go to something like that just to support you. The awards ceremony wasn’t even that big of a deal, but that made it even a bigger deal that we came.

So I did it… i bought a banjo. I did. Now I have to learn how to play it. I’m excited… I know, I’m a nerd… with a banjo. So what. Don’t hate. Here a picture of my new beauty…

So the worship team is growing here at Student Impact… we now have a brass section -two on saxophone, and one on trumpet. Now we are working on creating a strings section… we have a few students interested. So, here’s the breakdown. 5 guitarist, 2 bassist, 4 drummers, 2 on keys, 3 on brass, and possibly 2 on strings, percussions soon to come also, plus 27 in the choir. All of the students are in mid-hi and high school…. thats the great part. It’s definitely crazy working with so many students, but it’s a blast. A blasty blast.
