God is alive and i'll tell you why...

Every Sunday night I teach 48 kids ranging from ages 3-18, plus adults. Talk about a nightmare. I have to make the bible appeal to kids who are learning to tie their shoes, High School students who only can only think about sex, and parents who have heard every sermon under the sun. I hope this gives you a glimpse into my perspective.
Every week I talk about a Simple Truth. Such as- Who is God? Who is Jesus? and this week-What kind of Life do you Want? Nothing complex, just some basics for the shoe tiers, and some meat for everyone else. I am beginning to understand the verse that says "In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy" (Philippians 1:4). So after the service this Sunday a little girl named Bailey Tompkins who is 10 came up to me and said "I want to become a Christian and get baptized". WOW! There is really nothing in life better than that. To see someone, even a young girl, realize that they have a void and that nothing can fill it but the love of Jesus is SO awesome to see. God is alive!
Then on the following tuesday a boy named Grayson had the same realization as Bailey and decided to make Jesus his boss. God is alive!
Every kid at the Texas Baptist Children's Home (TBCH) is here because their parent/guardian is not fit to take care of them. EVERY kid here has issues and has been through some CRAZY stuff. And if you do not believe me try to imagine being 10 years old and realizing that your parents are nuts and there is no chance you will ever get to live with them again, but knowing that they live only 15 miles away. There are so many hardships here, but God is alive!
Keep these kids in your prayers and know that prayer and faith change lives.
