God even talks through paper towel..


This morning, I woke up to something that filled my heart. To my surprise, my car was completely covered with paper towel. There was a box with a dirty diaper on my hood. My car antenna was covered by the paper towel inner cylinder and there was an empty, nasty,box of what seemed to once hold 4 beer bottles. Truth is, a tear came to my eye. It was beautiful. Who ever did it, showed, creativity passion, dedication, and much tender loving care (hence the baby diaper). It was obvious that it was someone that I trained very well. :)

But really, it filled my heart. There was a note on my wind shield that said "You can't escape us P.J." You probably are laughing right now and won't believe what I'm about to say to you, but God spoke to me while I was standing in front of that car.
I was reminded that these years of youth ministry have not been in vein. That in some odd way, God has used them to touch the hearts of some really cool young people. I'm honored.. It's in honor to wake up in the morning and proudly say "Hey, some youth just paper toweled my car because they haven't forget about me." Just like God hasn't forgot about us. Truth is, I think that I felt the same joy that God feels when He sees that we haven't forgotten about Him.

So, today, through out your day, Why not paper towel God's heart? Remind Him that he's on your mind. Let Him know in some cool way that He hasn't escaped your heart. That you love Him. Make Him smile. How about paper toweling someone elses heart? Love God with all your heart, love people like you love yourself. Sounds familiar right?


So we go foward. Pao and I have been in youth ministry for 10 years now and we are hoping for another 20 years. We do it because we love God, love his calling and love young people. To those who blessed me today, I love you for it. Thanks for letting God use you.. Even if you didn't know He was.. :)

Esto estuvo bien nice, no podia creer q habias sacado algo tan especial de una "broma" la leccion para mi es... Siempre habra de algo q NO se vea bueno, algo q SI ES BUENO... recorde q Dios nos habla en cada momento y de cualquier manera "loca", "increible" lo importante es estar atenta a ver y escuchar sus mensajes "secretos" thank you :)
