Macclesfield-Hope Unleashed 2/1/08

So We had our first major gig in macclesfield. It was the first Hope Unleashed event and it went beautifully. All the bands where top and the message was very good and to the point. It was a weird feeling performing for so many kids and being on an official kind of stage. After we preformed I went up to the balcony which overlooked the whole venue and all you could see was a huge mass of kids. Linds was giving his preach followed it with alter call. He told all the kids if any of them wanted to be a Christian to go to the response room. now there where about a thousand kids in the rooom and almost the whole room walked out at once the site was unmatched to anything ive seen. At that moment I had such a sense of pure joy but it wasent long felt. I found myself in one of the biggest struggles ive had in a while. As happy as I was my mind couldn't help but take into consideration how genuine any of the kids responses where. I found my self getting very down and cynical. I just had to remember that God knows so much more than me and that although all I can see is kids in a room God can see their hearts. I was reading my bible and God gave me 1st Samuel 16:7 which gave me so much peace about the whole situation and just made me remember we are people of faith in things that are unseen and hoped for. So if you could just pray with me in faith that God knows the hearts of every kid that responded that night and that his purpose will be known for their lives, that id have stories of true discipleship and not just a constant quota of numbers that only satisfies the ear. (This is just a little side: All the posts about lz7,blush,breath,hope unleashed, and whatever els has just been posted are just cuts and pastes from the message website and stuff so if it seems like i didn't write it its cuz i didn't. I just wanted something that explained all the events and people that ive been talking about so use them as a reference and if you want any more information or have any questions about anything just let me know and ill be happy to get you what you need.)
Thanks so much to everyone who reads this and supports me, I could not ask for a more loving church to call my friends and family. I love you all!!
