God's gonna do something big this weekend!!!

You may ask yourself how i know that. So let me explain. We are having a discipleship now(d-now) weekend with our students here at Marathon. If you don't know what that it is it is basically a weekend where kids get together in small groups in host homes of people in our church and have Bible study sessions with college-age leaders. It is a really awesome time of digging into God's word, as well as a time for the students to build relationships with each, their leader, and the host home family. We did our first one last year and the number of students participating this year has doubled! But bigger numbers isn't why God is going to do something big. He is going to do something big because satan has been trying HARD to mess things up. We have had 2 host homes have people get sick so they can't host a group in their houses, our curriculum for the weekend was shipped to us over a week ago and just now arrived(it was supposed to be here in 2 days once shipped, not 7 days later!), some of our service projects we were gonna do have fallen through, it's just been crazy!!
But here is the good news, GOD IS IN CONTROL!!!! and He has a plan. If He wasn't going to do something big, then satan would not be working so hard to stop this from happening. The awesome thing is we have had other people step up and help out, the curriculum is here, and there are other projects for us to do!! No matter how hard satan tries he is never going to beat God! he has already been defeated and that makes him really mad, so he tries to do everything he can to stop the progress of the Kingdom. BUT he CAN'T DO IT, WE WIN!!!!!

****yes i know the word satan is always lowercase, and that is intentional because i don't want to show him any respect!!!******

I'm sure i will post again and let you know just how much our God showed out this weekend!!

Keepin it real,
Bryan
