On the drive home I had so many thoughts. I wrote them all down to share with you.❤
Wow. What an impactful weekend! Not only for myself, but I got the most wonderful opportunity to spend Friday evening to Saturday afternoon pouring into the lives of girls from ages 12-18 through worship and dance. I feel refreshed, but at the same time exhausted!
Friday night I had an opportunity to pray for a young girl named Hannah. A week or two ago, she found out that she was becoming allergic to the cold. Whenever her arm, or feet, or legs touched something cold, her skin would first turn red then get itchy and after that she would get welts. For example, that night from her jumping up and down on the cold cement in the gym her feet got swollen and began hurting really bad. She went to the doctor the day before for blood work and was told that what she is experiencing ranges from arthritis (and within some years she would lose complete use of her hands) all the way to cancer.Her distraught at these thoughts was very evident and completely understandable. But here’s the thing about facing a giant such as this; although you can acknowledge how big it is, you have to know that who you have on your team is so much bigger, greater, and stronger. Because of this moment, I will continue to keep her in prayer. I would love for you to join me in praying for her (and I will try to update as I am updated).I also met another really cool woman of God as we were waiting in line to get pictures with Bonray (the band that night). Her name is Zandy (I know, super cool name) and she told me how her plan right after high school is to go to basic training and become a Marine. As soon as she said that, I was blown away! We talked more that evening but Saturday morning as I was observing and meeting other girls I kept thinking about how not everyone has the same reaction I did when they hear a beautiful young girl is joining the Marines. As everything was coming to a close that afternoon, I felt impressed to pray for her. So naturally I did. And will certainly add her to my list of girls to cover in prayer.Lastly, I just want to take a moment to appreciate how down-to-earth my interaction with Morgan, drummer and singer for the band Bonray, was. When she talked to me and asked questions about me, it was like I had always been a friend of hers. I could hardly believe it and was so honored to have had that moment. Also, I've planted seeds of influence to see if Bonray would be able to perform at Unity next year (or hopefully within the next two years 😉). It would just be super awesome to see them there and I know it would be a GREAT opportunity for them. Seriously, their music is so cool you should check out their EP on Spotify (this was not a paid sponsorship but rather me advertising my love for them).Anyway this was a great weekend and I want to thank every one of you for taking the time to read this post. What I personally need right now is a lot of prayer. There hasn’t been anything major in my life (personally speaking) yet but the continuation of prayer that God’s will would continue to be done in my life and in the lives I get to impact is ALWAYS needed.
