Thankful that so many of you can make it... :) When God gave me that verse a few years ago, the only thing that struck me was the promise to grow, that it's a "when" and not an "if". Today, as TMS concludes its five year run as a group in the WEB youth ministry and as you guys prepare to enter into their newly streamlined groups, it struck me that I've been missing out on the second part.

It takes faith to believe that each seed has been sown... and the eventual result would be that of growing into a tree, the largest of garden plants, for birds to perch on its branches.

From those who sticked with the group throughout to those who just came not long ago... and those who came briefly and left shortly after... and even those who just did a touch and go... I'll take it in my stride that this promise shall come to pass for each and every one of you.

And so... I've just given myself something to look forward to in the future. :)

That each of you will grow to serve in whatever capacity that He's called you to. :)

Let's see how the first reunion goes next year. :P

Love you guys.

:)
