Thank you to everyone who came out to the missions overnight! It was great to get the team together to continue to prepare for our upcoming trip to Nashville!
In our pre-trip meetings, we are studying Genesis 32, and in our last meeting we left Jacob afraid and uncertain about what was about to happen with his brother Esau. We learned that the man that Jacob entered into a wrestling match with was actually God. In the midst of the chaos and fear that Jacob was experiencing, he was not seeking God; however, God came to him and began this wrestling match when he was alone. As we begin to think about how this story of Jacob relates to our lives, it is apparent that many times when we go searching for God, he has been trying to get our attention for a while. In fact, God is usually the one initiating with us way before we even think about turning to God.
In Williamsburg, it is easy to get distracted by friends, school, sports, etc. and overlook areas where God is pursuing us. As we went into small group time, we challenged the students to think about whether or not they would recognize the presence of God as he initiates to us in Nashville.

Our next meeting will be WEDNESDAY JUNE 15th from 6:30-8:30 in the Student Ministries Worship Room. Please bring any forms or money you have to turn in to that meeting. We are excited to see how God will show up in the lives of everyone on our team this summer!
