Well tonight at Repossess was insane. I have never seen so many students cram into a high school gym. As we opened the doors, it seemed as though kids kept coming in forever. The more full the room got, the more kids that seemed to be coming in. After the dust settled and the event got on its way, we had close to 2000 students packed into a giant mosh pit. From the first song all the way to the last note, we saw God do amazing things. We had 75 students give their heart to the Lord and many more who made a stand to love a world around them. The funny thing about events like this is that you really don't have control at all. We had just about every technical problem happen, but I love that our God is not contained by our technology. After we got out of the way, God was free to move. It was amazing to watch. All in all God did such an amazing thing at Repossess and I can't wait to see the fruit of what God did in students hearts. "Greater things are yet to come... greater things are still to be done in this city."

Well Repossess is only hours away... I think that we all are getting anxious to see what the Lord has in store for this incredible night. I have a feeling that this is going to be one of those nights that you can't sleep. Anyway, today Boaz and I put the finishing touches on our masterpiece and lit it up. It looks way better than we ever thought it would. I have had such a blast building this canvas. It is so easy to think that this type of creativity isn't doing much for an event like this, but I believe everyone brings something different to the table. Each thing someone brings to the table is just as important as what someone else brings. Some bring their "musical" skills to the Lord, while others bring a little art. Each glorifies Jesus and that is the most important thing. Anyway, all that to say... let's worship the Lord!!

Here is a few pics...

The long wait has finally come to an end for what I believe to be one of the coolest shows on the planet, "Heroes." NBC's 3 hour premiere begins tonight and I am so excited. Anyway, if you have never seen Heroes, you are definitely missing out. You know when I first started to watch heroes, I was so confused and honestly I didn't like it very much. But as I continued to watch the next season from the beginning, my eyes were opened to an amazing story line. Anyway, Heroes is a lot like LOST in the sense that anything can happen at anytime, and you are mostly always confused until the end. After the first 2 seasons, I have definitely become a fan. You should check it out. Well, off I go to watch the premiere.

well tonight was an awesome night here at Uturn, as God really moved in all of us. We heard a great Word from Shane Rogers about the importance of living our lives together in unity. Anyway, after all was said and done... students took the message quite literally as they circled together in unity and challenged each other to see if they could dance. All I have to say is that we have some funny students. There is no greater joy than to see young people, despite who they are or where they come from, coming together to enjoy each other's company. Anyway, I am glad that I have the opportunity to be a part of these kids lives here in Olympia. Cheers to them!!

Here is the blackmail video...LOL

Well today paint met sharpie as Boaz and I painted on top of the sharpie drawing on a giant painter's drop clothe. It was so neat as our painting truly came to life. We spent a little extra time working on the little details that make a good painting great. We even put hot pink stardust all over the canvas. Anyway, now that the painting is done, we have to finish building the soft box to illuminate the painting on center stage. All I know is that as we finished the painting, we were more excited than ever for Repossess to come. I know that the Lord is going to do something so huge in our community and I am so privileged to play a part in this great movement of God. Again, don't miss this event, and make sure you check out the video on my "video slice" and pass it around. 4 MORE DAYS!!!

Tonight, my best friend Boaz and I began to piece together an epic art piece for Repossess coming up next Wednesday. Everyone has a role and has something to bring to the table. For us... we decided to bring a little art and creativity by using a canvas, our hands, and a couple of sharpies. Anyway, all that to say, we are definitely beginning to count down the days. I am really excited to see this canvas when it is all done. Tomorrow we are putting the canvas onto a frame to make a soft box that will illuminate the art work on center stage. Then we will paint all the art that we drew with sharpies. Anyway, I am pumped to see it all come together. Fun times... Make sure you don't miss Repossess next Wednesday at Tumwater High School... See you there!

The day is drawing near to Repossess. We are all so anxious for this day to arrive. If you haven't heard what it is all about, it is about the church as a whole; as a community, coming together to seek the face of God and be the change we all want to see in our community. Last year we had over 850 students show up from around the community to worship and then they all came downtown to Olympia to serve the city however we could. Anyway, this year's Repossess is at Tumwater High School and the principal himself is speaking. It is going to be an awesome night. I said all this to say that I have such an expectant heart to see the Lord show up. It is times like these where you know that you can prepare all you want day and night, but if the Lord doesn't show up, then it is all for nothing. We come with expectant hearts and know that the Lord is always Faithful to show up when we invite Him. You can't make any excuses... you have to see for yourself, and you too should show up with an expectant heart and watch as the Lord will transform your life.

Here is the new Repossess video. Check it out and post it wherever you can.
