Wow is all I can say at the moment with this praise! Today (Saturday), the whole entire day was a HUGE blessing! We met some incredible people with servants hearts! The day was power packed and there are a few stories I would like to tell you about. First, just the fact we were here was a blessing.......Russ had inquired about the event many months ago and we had not heard anything and thought that they were just not interested.......then.....we got the email letting us know they were interested! We were so excited and the answer was immediately, "YES!"! We left Friday night and arrived around 8:00 to help set up what we could. We met this beautiful woman named Tara and she was so excited we were there. We helped put together and set out signs and then Tara took us to our hotel. The next morning we arrived bright and early for our sound check. In the process, we met Pastor Davis, a local pastor who headed up a group of amazing young people who would later put on one of the most impactful dramas I have ever seen! While I am here....I will tell you about the drama. It started with a teenage girl and her mom fighting....the mom let her know real quick that she never wanted her and the only reason she had her was because her mom would not let her have and abortion. Mom left the house and the party began! The party quickly turned ugly when a gang member came to the house to cause trouble and retaliate for something that had happened. The play concluded with everyone dead....including the shooter......except for one little six year old girl who was brought to the party. This little girl gave a performance that ripped my heart out! She deserved an award.....no words.....just pure, raw, unadulterated emotion! By this point, my heart was in my throat! To make matters more interesting......we were next! Caleb prayed for direction, because this was deep......and God was faithful! The transition was amazing......and every song that was sung tied in. When I gave the testimony of SHINE, it could not have been more appropriate! Many people came to me afterward to thank and encourage me! Our God is so great......and so faithful! The headliner that sang that day was incredibly beautiful both inside and out! I also met two fellas that God ordained for me to meet......and one of them, God gave me a message to give to him the other day.......and low and behold, it was a God ordained moment! We met a wonderful woman named Rose who served us.......and made us feel so loved! There were so many little GOD Moments throughout the day that it would take me forever to write about them all. One of the more scary moments was when a young woman who had heart surgery recently, began to have trouble. Caleb found me and the boys, Rose and I prayed for her and for Gods Hand to be over her. From beginning to end.....it was an INCREDIBLY Blessed time! I thank God for using His people in such wonderful ways! I thank God that when you do your best to be a blessing.....He blesses you far more than you could ever imagine! If you want to be blessed.......be a blessing! It is one of the most incredible feelings you could ever imagine!!! May God bless you all!!!!!
