"See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, "What shall we eat? or "What shall we drink?" or "What shall we wear?" For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them." Matthew 6:28
Drew and I had the privilege of going to NYC last week as district sponsors for the Chicago Central District. It was such a wonderful experience to hear the word of God and worship alongside 6,000 + high school teens and sponsors. It was so great to be able to watch our teens worship and grow closer to the Lord. The theme was A World Unbroken. It was very powerful! The speakers, musicians, and artists worked beautifully to portray a message of hope and healing for this broken, hurting world.
Here are some pictures from the week:
Our family group did a car wash to raise money for a hotel called Wayside Mission. They give shelter to homeless people in Louisville, KY.
A view of the YUM Conference Center where we had worship and heard from some wonderful speakers.
College Church teens worshiping the Lord in our blue "Windy City" t-shirts.

We had lunch at the Old Spaghetti factory one day! Delicious :)
All of the Chicago Central District teens and sponsors
This is a song that Starfield sang during our worship time that I could not sing without getting emotional. I love the lyrics and this is my prayer for myself and for our teens.
i come to seek Your face
Holy Spirit wont You fall on us
speak wisdom to Your people Your saints
fill us with the knowledge of you
fill us with the knowledge of you
overwhelm my heart
overwhelm this place with a passion for Your name
i need Your tender mercies
Holy Spirit wont you make a change
