Two weeks until the Summer Academy!

So it seems to be the season we are in that it is two weeks until everything is going on at the moment. Two weeks ago I was at New Wine helping lead 600 8-9 year olds into worship - it was really knackering but a superb week. The highlight for me was seeing over 200 of them line up around the venue to share what God was saying to them - I was quite blown away by what God was doing in them.

The band did great as well and it was a pleasure to hang out during the rest of the time with them. God was working in us to and it was great to be able to use something God given to benefit these young people.

Then I went on holiday to Wales with my family which was cool but was feeling a bit unwell during the week which culminated when I got back with me needing to stay in bed for a day or two. Still, fighting fit now and back in the game.

And so two weeks (well less now!) until the Summer Academy starts. This is a week long academy I am running as part of my music mentoring that is going to see nearly 40 young people doing creative things dance, singing, band stuff, video, graphics, DJ'ing and techy stuff culminating in a big gig at the end of the week for parents and friends to see what they've been up to.

Still much to do, but I can't wait. It is gonna be awesome to be able to see these young people be encouraged to use what God has given them - even if they don't realise it was God who gave it to them in the first place!
