RU at Joes Place-High School Team Show!!!

On Saturday January 26th, The Caronport High School Refined/Undignified team had a show at Joe's Place. This show was a good learning experience for everyone on the team, and was one of the best shows we did. Everyone worked hard, prayed lots, and had a great time doing it! Personally, I learned that trusting and being obedient to God is so important. Before the show had even started, I felt God was telling me I needed to speak after the show. I was terrified, I knew I wasn't the greatest public speaker, and the thought of going up in front of all those people and telling them my story scared me. I really didn't want to, but I knew being obedient to God was a lot more important than what I wanted. It turns out Joshua (another Refined/Undignified member) felt he needed to speak also. So before the show, myself, Joshua, and our leaders, Jacee and Matt, all prayed over what was meant to be said, and how we were to go about it. I felt a sense of peace after we prayed, and I wasn't so worried about telling my story. The show was about to start, so after some mingling with some of the youth, the team went to the back and we started praying for the show and the rest of the night. The Lord was moving, and by the end of our prayer session, all of us were excited and ready to go for the night. Our show started, there were a few difficulties, but with lots of prayer we got through it, and it was one of our best performances yet. After we finished the show our leader Matt went out, closed the show, and prayed for myself and Joshua as we prepared ourselves to speak. Joshua went first, and told his story, and told the crowd that it's direction that determines your destination in life, not intention. After that, it was my turn. I went out and started talking about my story, and the struggles I had gone through, I told them about the freedom Christ and brought me, and how they could have that too. Matt came on after me and closed the night. After that was all done, I had people coming up to me and talking to me about their stories and how they related to mine. It was just amazing to see how God had used me and my story to help these people in a sense. It really showed me that because I trusted in God, and I was obedient to him everything turned out just the way he intended it, and everything worked out perfectly. Altogether it was a great night, I felt like God had his hand over our team that night, and that he was truly glorified by the end of it. God has blessed me with this team, and has been teaching me so much through the ministry of Refined/Undignified. Kali
