White Flag

          This past summit was good. We were in Social Circle, GA. It was a quaint little town and I liked it. I stayed with Allison at CL ad Joyce's house. They were so sweet! Unfortunately they got the stomach bug that was going around and were not able to attend many services. Despite that, there were many who went up and testified about what God had been doing in their life. We had about 16 children in Happy Heart the entire time. Matt was sitting in again so it was just me and Angela, but we did it well! There was one night where I went home sick, slept for 4 hours and then went back to bed at 11:00 that night. I felt much better the next day. :)
          We are now in Hernando, MS. I am staying with Sarah and Hilary. We are staying at Dave and Andrea's house. They have two kids; Elizabeth, 13 and Joshua, 15. I am very excited for this summit to start and see what God is going to do here. In Happy Heart, we are going to have (estimated) 45 kids!!! That is the biggest group we have had all year! I have a good feeling about this summit and I know that God will do great things!
       So as I was getting ready this morning, Sarah was playing her music. The song White Flag came on. I absolutely love that song. Its a good reminder that we need to surrender daily! God has already won whatever battle we are going to face that day, and we need to surrender to Him and let Him fight it for us. What a great reminder! I appreciate all your prayers and will try to keep y'all updated more often.

Rediscover You

Hey Y'all! This past summit was really great! We had so many amazing testimonies of current addictions, and breaking addictions. It was amazing. I had never heard so many testimonies like that before. God was really working in that church. We had a big group of Happy Heart kids all week, which was awesome. And one of the kids, Jedadiah, wanted to auction a cow. So we let him :) He was pretty good at auctioning too. There were so many great times at this church. We are currently headed to Social Circle, GA for our next summit. It will be our 10th church of the travel year but our 3rd church of 2013. The time is going by so fast! I cant believe its February 1st already. In 14 days, we all have to tell Head Quarters if we are traveling again or not. I have already let them know that I will be traveling. God has really showed me that this is where He has me for the next year. I am so thankful and appreciative that I have y'alls prayers! (I have been pickin' up on the whole "y'all" thing) This past week we had a team meeting and Laine talked about faith.. It really hit me, I dont have faith and I need to. Its not something that happens over night, but God is definitely showing His faithfulness to me. He provides time after time and yet I doubt. I am asking Him to help me believe and trust Him. This week I heard this song again. It is called Rediscover You. The chorus is this: "You told me, look for You and I will find. So I'm here like I'm searching for the first time. Revive me, Jesus, make this cold heart start to move. Help me rediscover You"
I think its very fitting.
Thank y'all for everything!
