Visions

That's right! Visions! This last weekend four of us adults took 8 4th and 5th graders up to Lake Geneva for a quick retreat. We spent the morning talking about soaking which the kids already have some familiarity with because of Kids Church. Then we soaked. When we came back together to debrief I was awed and astounded by what the Holy Spirit had spoken to these kids. One kid had a vision about her dad getting a second interview and then a job. Another kid reported that he felt, "a surge of love from God." Yet the one that brought me to tears was when a girl described being in heaven surrounded with family members and having her mom call her to dinner. Or when a girl spoke of her great-grandma telling her, "Don't be sad. I'm happy now." Yet with another girl the results were much less tangible, but I get the sense that some significant ground was taken back from the enemy this weekend, that hope was spoken into previously hopeless places. What can I say, but God is amazing and so much fun!!!
