Another Wed. Night

Man, another great Wednesday night at the South OKC campus.  One of the great things is I couldn't tell you how many students we had (it was packed and there was some awesome energy), or how many students committed their lives to Christ tonight (ill for sure find out in the morning) or even how many students decided tonight that they want to be an "activist" for God (the series we started tonight)!  I count these as great things because of this....

Tonight i closed the message out, before i closed i simply prayed that God would use the message and myself to speak to students.  As the video teaching closed out, i began to speak into a mic that a new sound guy couldnt figure out how to run, then tried a second mic with no luck to finally a third mic.  Being an excellence matters perfectionist kinda guy this really ticked me off and put a big kink in the flow of a crucial time in the night.  It also threw me off enough to know that i did far from my best ability,  as i began to invite students into a relationship with Jesus for the first time students were throwing their hands up left and right!!  Enough students for me to think in my head, how did you even get that???  Im still left saying it could have been a million times better, but i have to say God taught me a lesson i seem to continually need taught.  First, prayer works (duh!) and Second, God himself is in control!
