Never Once

Hey guys! Its been so long since I have updated. So here goes:
         Our last summit before break was in Athens, AL. It was such a great summit. However, the attendance for Happy Heart was very few.. towards the end of the summit, we only had the revivalists daughter. So we combined with Base Camp for a lot. The teens were open to what Michael had to say, and I think all around it was a good summit. I stayed with a really awesome family who had three kids. Jake, Hannah, and Mary Beth. I had such a great time with them.
        Once we left Athens, we went back home for the month of December. It was so good to be back home with my family and friends. I got to see my grandma and my brother. I really just now realized how easy it is to take family forgranted. Because the people you live with you see everyday, and now that I am traveling, I really realized how much I miss them. But I know that this is where God has me for now.
        Right now we are in Corinth, MS. Our summit started this past Sunday and we have had a pretty good group of kids in Happy Heart. We have about 10-12 on any given night. Base Camp has about 20-30. I am praying that God grabs ahold of their hearts and that the kids would really understand everything that we are teaching. Before we left for break we all switched up lessons. So we are getting back into the swing of things with new lessons. But so far its going good. My host parents at this summit are very sweet. They are an older couple, but its so awesome to see them together. They are coming up on 49 years of marriage tomorrow!
     Its such a blessing to be able to do what I am doing. God is so great and He has really been teaching me, and the team, that without Him, we are incapable of agape love. 100% sacrificial love, expecting absolutely nothing in return. Another thing He has been teaching me throughout this time is to wait on Him. Its not about what I want and when I want it... Its all about HIM and HIS timing. He is never late, and never early... always on time.
       If y'all could be praying for our team to stay healthy, that is much appreciated. We are trying to not get the flu, and where we are right now is where the flu is hitting the hardest. Also please pray for me as I just came off of break.. My mind is still back home, and I need to be 100% here.
      As I was sitting here writing this, I was listening to my music. One of the songs that I had heard a thousand times came on. It really hit me this time. Never Once by Matt Redman. Listen to that song when you get a chance.. really listen, meditate on the truth that is in the song. Prasie God for NEVER leaving us!
