There’s a beautiful tension in my heart these days.  There’s this almost insatiable desire for more.  More lives changed by the Gospel.  More students sharing Christ on their campus.  More times of worship, study and prayer.  More chances to serve.  More joy.  More trips to Haiti.  More students joining a movement to change a generation.  I want so much more.  At the same time, there’s this almost overwhelming joy at how much God has done.  I still can’t believe what He did in Haiti last week.  I can’t believe there is still a team of Gathering students in Percin.  I can’t believe the worship experiences we had this week.  I can’t get over the ways He is changing lives.

And starting this weekend, we enter a season of intenCITY trips.  Both this weekend and next, we will have teams of students from The Gathering seving our own city in the name of Christ.  AU’s leading the charge this weekend and Mason gets the batton next weekend.  The same God who is changing Percin is working right here in DC.  He’s leading students to serve the youth of this city, to visit young adults in jail and to care for the homeless.

I hope you feel that same tension. Rejoice over what God is doing.  And ask Him for more.  They actually fit really well together if you think about it.
