Tonight, I got to be a part of one of this year’s prefects cool ministry to the 6th grade girls at our school (Julia’s class) by driving for their progressive dinner (one of my favorite kinds of parties!). We started at my house with fruit and appetizers, then moved to another house for dinner, then finally to one more house for dessert. Along with these changes of locations came changes of clothes to mirror how we change as we develop in our Christian walk. The girls started out in work out clothes to symbolize our lives before we come Christians. Then at dinner they changed into semi-dressy churchish clothes to symbolize our walks as Christians. And finally for dessert they changed into their nicest dresses for decadent desserts on fine china to symbolize heaven. Along with the meal and the changing clothes came great devotions from some of the high school girls leading the night. I was so surprised that through these talks and just the conversations we had been having all night long how much these high school and middle school girls had been ministering to me. I got so much out of these simple talks just about what it is like to live as a Christian. God speaks to us in amazing and unexpected ways and I felt so blessed to be a part of such a cool night tonight.
