We must go.... ...live to feed the hungry, stand beside the broken.

Alright folks...sorry it's been so long. Here's the scoop in a nutshell.... Approx. 375 kids! insane! They were an exceptional bunch of students and adults, though. I do not believe that I have been around people who were more receptive to the spirit in worhsip than these. I mean-it was completely uninhibited worship for the most part. Just outbursts of clapping and just cheering for the Lord...it was awesome! There were some incredibly sweet times in music during the worship! Beautiful stuff! Just beautiful! I had a few thoughts during this project: Number one...wow this is way more work than i could've ever imagined. And a lot less sleep that i've had in a while. Number two is this: Although i didn't really get a whole lot of time to spend with the students and really get some meaty one-on-one time with them...they were a huge impact on me. First off, they were my beginning. They were my first in this string of 4 summer projects and that makes them special. Secondly...it was just so neat to see this transformation of these people in my life: from names on a list in a stack of 10 other churches into people. Into real kids who were in love with Christ and were so incredibly appreciative of the work that we were doing. They transformed into these lives that touched the community of Ft. Walton Beach, FL and that is huge. They impacted my life in a way that i'm not even sure how to describe. But their sensitivity to the spirit in worship touch my heart to its core. It was a beautiful week in that. Number three: my music is for no one else but Christ's glory. Amen? Amen! So now, we are sitting in our hotel in Montgomery and tomorrow we will drive to Atlanta and then Monday we fly out to PUERTO RICO!!! it's on!
