Update #2

Since my last post a lot has happened including finishing my first triathlon! I came in third place in the female category! I really enjoyed doing it! Just a few months ago I would never have thought that I would even WANT to do a triathlon let alone do it. I think it's just evidence of the Lord's work in my life and the fact that He CAN change us! Ha, or maybe I'm just turning over a new leaf.


We are about to wrap up summit #2. I feel like we've been on the road forever! Or maybe I'm just feeling three years worth of traveling. The Lord has been so faithful. I am so thankful for His unconditional love and His faithfulness to my life and not leaving me where I'm at but continually pruning me and drawing me to Himself.


The first summit of the year was in Northport, AL. About 10 minutes from the University of AL. The summit went really well considering it was our first one and half the team is new! It takes time to adjust to how a summit works, what we do day in and day out and all that it takes to get things rolling. As a revival based ministry we know we do not bring revival to a church. Despite all our hard work and preparation revival happens when God shows up. Which is the most rewarding thing about our ministry! While in Alabama many people confessed areas of bitterness and issues of clearing there conscience with people they had wronged. It was so neat just to see the joy on there faces as they experience the freedom from bondage.

We will be wrapping up our current summit on Sunday here in Cayce, SC. This church has been one of the best churches because they have fed us so good! We eat lunch and dinner at church just about everyday so you can imagine with all the churches we've been in how many different (or the same) meals we've had and how many paper plates, plastic silverware, and plastic cups we've used. So, when a church brings out real dishes you can know it's gonna leave a lasting impression! Not to mention the foods been amazing!

A lot has happened this last year in my life but the Lord has been faithful and drawn me closer than I could ever have imagined. As the Lord continues to uproot my life I'm reminded that the hard times bring us together in a way that comfort and convenience never could. I'm trusting in Him knowing that He has far greater plans than I could ever dream. In this time He is revealing His word to me and opening my spiritual eyes to be more like Him.

Please continue to pray that I will be faithful to do what He has called me to do. That I will serve Him not man. That I will love as God loves.
