Bread...... FALLING FROM THE SKY!!

Ohmigoodness, folks... Are you ready for this!?


So, Following the direction of the fantastic speaker Ira Parmenter, I'm am blogging about bread, Which is so obviously falling from the sky that I cannot contain it. Wow Is my God good. Consumed was amazing. && I'm not just saying that out of obligation. It was spectacular.

Now I all know that there is about 50,000,000 or so blogs about consumed right about now, But i couldn't help it. Consumed was fantastic; At first, i had been so lost in the busy-ness and the jobs and obligations and the overwhelming feeling of having to be perfect, that I felt just couldn't let God move in me. Especially on stage. But quite simply, by Saturday night, I Don't know if it was the sheer exhaustion, or me finally giving in.. But I was so rocked by God; I could hardly stand. I was playing keeys heaving over, hardly able to stand and I didn't feel bad, or out of place, or incorrect. It just felt.... Amazing. God's hand touched so many lives, and has definitely fanned the passion inside me for worship, prayer, and the breaking off of age gaps and age "restrictions".
I don't mean that in a "Let 12 year-olds do whatever they want" sort of way, But honestly, && If i'm terribly wrong please give me some feed back here. But why shouldn't Teenagers be able to pray openly with adults without feeling inadequate, why shouldn't teenagers be delivering one another from pasts and prophesying over one another, Why shouldn't teenagers lead one another {Again I am not saying lead themselves, But under the influence of a higher authority} Why shouldn't 17-19 year olds get married? Why shouldn't we be a generation that knows how to do these things!?! Why don't we bother to get inform, Ask && Learn. Why don't we read books and research those things, if nothing else but to have a greater understanding of them. Wouldn't it be great:


Just think, Wouldn't it be great if we actually used the church as the resource God has given us. Why not, right? God has given us a family that has experiences so vast, that all we need to do is ask, to be informed. Just ask, to be counselled.

• Why Not, marry young? Sure, teenagers and young adults don't have the "years under their belts" or the vast experiences. But it's the maturity;; If we dont have that wealth of knowledge, someone in the church is going to && if we ever need a swift kick, good advice, or somone to just talk to, we'll have it. So why not start a marriage young, Why not grow, learn and love together?
• Why Not, Step in and pray regaurdless of who's listening? Age has nothing to do with anything in the kingdom of God. God knows you're maturity level and he knows you're intentions. Your words don't need to be big and fancy && you don't have to have 5 years experience before delivering people; You just need big faith.
• Why can't teenagers be leaders? I think it's the best time to start. You're young and growing and it's much easier to incorperate those "leadership qualities" when you're at you're learning and growing peak.
  

Why should teenagers be looked down on, Especially in the church. We are capable of so much more than people give us credit for. However, the reason they aren't giving us that credit is because we haven't shown them what we're capable of.

Aside from all of that;; I was like a proud parent this weekend because I got to watch my boyfriend grow and reach new heights and passions in his walk both in worship and in knowledge, and it was so cool to see. It made my smile and made everything that much more worth it.

I'd also like to take a bit of space up in here to thank Kelsey and Jason. Without them, my own passions wouldnt' have been renewed the way they were, Brandon's faith wouldn't have been pushed up that much higher, and all the lives that were touched or changed this weekend may not have had that experience. Not to say God wouldn't have touched lives without consumed. But it just wouldn't have bene the same. So thank you Kelsey and Jason for taking time out of your lives to put this on for us, so that our generation could be radically affected; You're the Bomb.
