Favorite spot

Here's a photo of one of my favorite spots at the Community of the Cross - the cross! One of many fantastic places to pray and spend time with the Lord.

Upward Challenge!

Quick report on Upward Challenge (Youth event by PRMI in North Carolina) this past week - in one word, WOW! Now for four words - God really showed up! Despite some spiritual warfare and some rain, the Lord worked powerfully in the lives of 40 young people and ten or so adults. He expanded all of our boxes, took us way outside our comfort zones and taught us all to trust Him at a deeper level. My responsibility was leading the musical part of worship. Before going, I asked people to pray especially for clear discernment of the worship sets - song selection, order, how long to stay with each song, etc. He empowered me in this aspect for every single set! Even on Thursday evening, when I went into the session exhausted, as soon as we began I had energy and He brought us all into His presence.

More than ever, I want to live by His power and for His glory in everything I do!

First day as a blogger!

Wow! This is certainly a new experience - writing my thoughts, feelings, etc. for any random person to read on the internet! Probably won't say much today, as it was a pretty normal, uneventful Sunday. But God IS great, He loves me, and life is good!
