So, I know he passed the house coming in today out in the oval.

How's it looking out there?

Looking good?

Okay, not so great today.

We're telling him to get busy, get a little bit more going, maybe on the way out.

But what the house is doing for us is providing a metaphor.

They're coming in and going out.

We're reminded that God has a plan for our lives.

And that's the simple bedrock of these few days.

That God hasn't given up on the purpose and plan that He has for you.

And you may have, we all do.

We bail out at different times and jump out of the plane and decide that we're not going to be able to realize all that God has for us.

But God's steady.

And He hangs in there with the dreams that He has for us.

And somehow He's able to orchestrate all things good and bad to keep us in the process of becoming what He's dreamed that we would be.

And I love this message today.

And to you high school guys, I know it may be a challenge.

In fact, you may want to just leave back there and come back up here because I'm looking at you back there thinking, okay, you haven't slept in a couple of days and you had a bus ride over a mountain.

But this message is so for you.

And I didn't plan it that way.

I wasn't thinking when or weekend, when all this came together.

But this is a perfect ending for a weekend like we've just had together.
