Then Sings My Soul

Sometimes, it takes the innocence and understanding of a 14 and 17 year old kid to make you realize things that you once have forgotten. Like how important it is to be close to God. Like how that burning flame inside of you to ignite the youth needs to be fueled and lit to a point where it is uncontrollable wild fire.  It is so strange to me how God works.  I know a lot of my friends don't believe in God or anything, but to me, in my heart, I know He is real. Marcel and Tommy have been such a huge blessing in my life and I truly believe that God has led our friendship together along with my little sister. It's funny to me because rather than me teach them, they have taught me.

 Those two boys are so crazy, hyper and loud and sometimes obnoxious but last night, I really noticed something.  I've caught this a few times but last night I really noticed it.  On our way to drop them off Tommy changed my iPhone and plugged his and he put on a band called Ascend the Hill, a worship band.  I was surprised because it is not exactly what you would expect them to willfully listen to in the car.  As I was driving, I could see from the corner of my eye and hear them signing these old, old, old  hymns and although they were just whispering it, singing it softly, I truly felt the extent of their soft worship.  It really humbled me and made me reflect on how passionate I was when I was their age and how God can use this generation to humble an older generation. I remember being in their place, being a teenager, being in youth,  playing on the worship team, having "Uh-oh here comes Jesus moments", doing all that I could to let the world know that their is a God.

I know I am only 4-8 years older then them, but even still, they are of a generation that is after me, and as the Word says, "generations to come after will do more things than the ones before...".  God is too funny, last night I didn't even want to stay out late, much less with my sis and the kids.  But for some reason I did and although I went to sleep late and came in to work late, I think God wanted me to see that.  Remind me of the worshiper that I once was, with the heart and love of a child to their father.

Truthfully humbled,
Ellie
