First Crash

Tonight was the first CRASH of the 2006/2007 school year. We had a VCU alum, Jodi, come and speak. The big draw for folks was that Jodi has actually been on a number of MTV reality shows like Road Rules. We had a ton of first-timers there and hopefully we'll see some of them again. Jodi was bold in her testimony and a lot of leadership people who weren't involved in planning crash said it went really well. My heart broke for the folks who were there and didn't have Jesus. Jodi played Jeremy Camp's "I'll Take You Back" at the end of her talk because it was a really meaningful song for her and her return to faith and relationship with Jesus and then we played 3 worship songs for folks to be able to like sit and listen to and think about or sing along.The last song was "everything" which I hadn't heard before. And the chorus (i think it was the chorus) was about "how can I not be moved by you when you're here" or something and I just prayed so hard that God would just draw these people to himself and really was just in tears (though, i'll admit, i was worried i looked like a big spaz crying in my seat so i tried to stop) remembering where I was three years ago. I am physically exhausted and may not be able to speak very loudly tomorrow, but this event was spiritually fufilling in so many ways. It's in God's hands if anyone else felt that way.
