I don’t know if I’m supposed to play favorites with the days of the week, but good old Thursday is pretty high on the list.
My Thursday starts with some sweet prayer time with other youth workers from around Centre County. Some days are more talk than prayer, but it’s always good for my soul to share some heart-to-heart time with other people who are passionate about the Kingdom of God and teenagers.
Thursday afternoons are generally spent working through songs for Sunday’s worship at midtown. I spend some time in God’s word, listen for his voice, think through all the details…and play a lot of music. I always start with a lot more songs than we’ll use, but it’s a good time for me to worship God.
Thursday evenings are a huge part of my week; that’s the night our life group meets. It’s never boring, that’s for sure! We’re discussing the sermon series and book unChristian. We have a lot of diverse personalities on our group, which makes for some interesting conversation. One of the things that I love the most is that it’s a safe place for us to let our guard down, to be honest and transparent. We always have spirited conversations as we try to apply what we’re learning from God’s word to our lives.
Thursday nights usually end with worship team rehearsal. It’s a late night, but the time with the team is always more than practicing the songs for Sunday. Our time together is usually more like a private worship time than practice. I love that. We spend time praying together, too, which is good.
What about you? What’s your favorite day of the week, and why?
