As Summer is upon us it is always good to remember that where other youth groups shut down for the summer THE MIX does not!  If anything we will have even more awesome opportunities to connect with other teens from around the greater Seattle area. 

Also many of our leadership team will be helping serve and lead youth camps up at Lakeside Bible Camp throughout the summer.  For more information about summer plans check out our EVENTS page.  

Tonight at The Mix we continued our conversation on what it means to get a life - or to experience the life that God wants us to experience.  We hit the big picture that to have a real life we must take into consideration eternity.  We discussed our "echo" and the ways our life speak to others and how the very fact that we have a breath to breathe is the most incredible gift of grace!   That we have done nothing to deserve or earn another breath, but that the God of the universe has gifted us with it.  WOW!  

We talked about how with every breath we have the opportunity to live life well and to fully enjoy, embrace, and celebrate every breath we have.

During our conversation we looked at a quote that says...
"How you live your life today is how you'll live your life, because your life is made up of many days."

What a great challenge to us all to think about our "echo" and the impact we have on the people around us.  After our conversation as a group of around 30 students and adult leaders we joined with the angels in an everlasting chorus of echos and it was awesome.  Picture all of us [different gender, ages, ethnicities, schools, churches, communities, etc.] in unison echoing out as one...

"Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty.  Who was, and is, and is, to come! "

What an awesome end to a great night.

May we continue to live lives that echo our faith in Jesus Christ as we continue to grow, learn, and share what it means to be His followers with our every day.   Amen.
