John Hancock Center

Tonight we visited the observation deck of the John Hancock Center. I did our evening teaching while we were there; it was about stepping back from our everyday lives to gain some perspective. I think the students took it well. The lesson culminated with an opportunity for each of us to get alone with God and discuss our personal faith races with Him. In their notebooks, the students were able to fill out three seperate "Game Plan Adjustment" plans. These plans are important. If the students are understanding the teaching and being at all convicted by it, they will respond with adjustments to their lives. Writing these responses, or adjustments, makes them tangible and specific: Instead of thinking "I need to make some changes", they will be thinking, "I need to make these changes". Specific, stated goals are much more likely to be reached.

If you know a student on any of our teams, please ask them how God is working on their hearts. See if they are planning on making any "Game Plan Adjustments", and if they are, hold them accountable. Pray for our students, I love them and I want them to succeed, to live their God-given purpose, to know the fulfillment of serving God well.
