Working for the King's Kingdome with the Youth.

For this Easter our church decided to do special program in which we would share the True Story of Easter. True Story of Easter !? It's quite astonishing to hear around and after the Easter season so many Romanians greeting each other with: "Christ has risen! - Surely He has risen!" and yet, have no idea why did He die and how come did He rose again. A little part of the program was given to the youth group to share Christ as they knew best. There I was blessed so much, because I got the chance to see what was in my heart for the youth for long time - live out practically their Christian faith.
We planned out the the the well known 'Everything Skit' worked hard, and by God's grace it came out well.
Through this skit we planted seeds, whether we see results or not it's not our business, it's God's since He gives the increase !

As far as working for the King's Kingdome with the youth group, this is just the beginning, there is much room for growth, and that includes me as God's servant-leader. But a "man" that was greatly used by God once said something in which I find a lot of comfort: "Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God  who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life." 2Cor 3:5-6 

More than blessed to serve such a King !

My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will never be shaken. Ps. 62:1-2 

As I went about my time in Vajta-Hungary, often people would tell me, oh Jean, God is going to use you, oh Jean God's hand is upon you, oh Jean this, oh Jean that. As I came back home, I was now ready to let God use my life, but to my surprise everything seemed to unfold backwards. Home people knew me just as I am,the nothing special Jean. Therefore they weren't urged so much now to say to me, oh Jean God will use you, oh Jean...this, oh Jean that.

My life in the same time was not as flashy as I expected... I thought red carpets would be spread before my steps and people would cheer for me :) (not really), but close enough :)))

Thus I found myself having trouble believing that God will use me in His plans. 

Yet,all that only so that my King would show me how depended I was upon people's acceptance and approval, instead of finding them in Him alone, as the psalmist wrote. 

Now I can praise Him as I see that He's building my life upon the ROCK, so that later on in life I wouldn't be shaken by people's opinions since they can lift you up and they can bring you down in the same time. 

He loves me the way I am, but He loves me to much to let me they way I am, therefore I can say, "I'm more than blessed to serve such a KING".

New Chapter, new challenges.

So, there we go, i am now entering in what i've been waiting since Sep after i finished Bible School. I have a job and i can now, in light of the schedule i'm having, to plan things like: School, youth group, church and even up to small things like doing what i love a lot, playing guitar.

So this job is a security job, something i never did b/f... therefore i would appreciate your prayers on this.
I will work most of my time in a month (250 h a month) so pray if u wish that i might use my time wisely so that i might do the things i feel God called me to do in the same time... such as: school and youth group.

Tho i felt a bit humbled to have this job, i felt God telling me: "Jean, don't despise the days of small beginnings"

That's it for now. I will deff appreciate your prayers.
