what is God doing?

I feel like for the first in a long time God is giving me clarity to see what He is up to in our family ministry here at Grace Community. I am in the middle of year 2 here at GCC and all around me right now God is softening my heart and giving me WOW moments just to be amazed at what He is up to. Relevant, Grace Aces, and Cross Street are full of kids and teens connecting with God like they never have before. We are seeing parents and teens worship each week together and actually talk about what God is doing in their lives. We see kids and teens excited about coming to the environments we create each week at GCC. It amazes me that teens want to be at church and out student gathering and it is not just about seeing their friends (we know they love connecting with each other). I feel like right now God is helping me to rejoice in what He is doing all around our team here at GCC. My heart needs to be thrilled every time I see something go down that makes the heart of God joyful. I need to be pumped about what God is pumped about. Once again God is teaching me. Sometimes my own drive for more and better crushes the ability to celebrate God's goodness. Drive is good but it can crush joy in God and rob the state of being content in what He is doing all around us. We put this video of our student video together last week and every time I watch it I am blown away and thankful for what God is doing here in Clarksville. The video is from our weekly gathering for teens called REMIX.
