So I have been wrestling a little with when to do the Ask THe Lord portion of our trip here in TN. The groups adults have been hesitant and put off wanting to do an ATL. But yesterday I felt very strong about doing an ATL today. I told God that the group didn't really want to do it and I didn't want to push them into it, but if He really did want that then He would change their mind enough for me to lead their group into it.

Well last night while eating dinner with the leaders to talk about the day and get an idea of tomorrow I put it out there, "Hey we are going to do our marquee AIM thing, ATL, tomorrow. OK?" The groups leader, Angie, agreed (almost excitedly) and the others were game for it! I was relieved and thought "Alright, here we go God. I know you'll do something good in the ATL, but (and here comes a little doubt) please show up!"

It's funny how you can step out in faith and meet God in a great moment and still doubt the next time you step out. Crazy.

Anyway - read what happened at http://appalachia.myadventures.org/

Just incase your wondering - God did show up. Among other great things, 4-5 of these kids have physically felt the arms of the Lord wrap around them and have told the whole group through tears of love and joy!
