In less than one week, I will be leaving Charlotte, NC.
This past Sunday, I had a reception at my church and I was commissioned by my pastor, Clint Pressley. The reception was a time for me to say goodbye to friends and family before I leave. It was a sweet time of food, fellowship, worship, and prayer. Thank you to all who helped plan and attended.
Monday through Wednesday was Operation Charlotte. A week of doing mission outreach projects here in Charlotte. Our student ministry served Queens Grant High School, Inspiration Station, Little Flower Nursing Home, Hickory Grove Elementary, HG Latin American Campus Food Bank, Jackson Park, and did VBS for the day camp children at Hickory Grove Baptist Church. It was such a blessing to serve the community and give back. Visit Hickory Grove Student Ministry – Main on FB to look at pictures.
Monday and Tuesday night we had a worship service with the students. This was an incredible time for me as I am preparing to leave for Africa. I was so encouraged by how many of our students are on fire for the Lord and I am blessed to be apart of the student ministry. I sat in the back and just took in the worship. I stood in awe of how loving and powerful our God is. I savored every moment I had to just WORSHIP the King.
I will look back on those moments when I am feeling home sick or scared and I will remember the feeling I had. I will cherish those moments forever. The moments of PURE WORSHIP!
“Worship is a posture of life that takes as its primary purpose the understanding of what it really means to love and revere God.” – Ravi Zacharias
As I am preparing these next few days, will you pray for me? There is still a lot of things left to do and not a lot of time left. Please pray for clarity and wisdom. Safety and health, as well as rest. Pray for my parents and especially my sister. (She is having a difficult time with me leaving.) Thank you for praying for me and supporting me on this new journey.
Just seeing this but I've prayed...and am still praying....you're in the air right now and once you're there....it begins!! I love you precious girl and can not WAIT to see the Lord use, stretch and grow you!!
