Awkward is awesome! The saying for our week

I can’t even begin to put into words what this past week has been like.  God is amazing. 

I am feeling kind of sad now that it is over and the Pathway team is gone.  I enjoyed having them here so much.  I have to keep reminding myself that this week wasn’t a mountain top experience but just more of the uphill climb.  As Amber says, “We are just getting out of the valley.”  I can’t wait to see what will happen with the rest of our lives!

God reviled Himself in so many ways this week and used ordinary people to impact lives.  God gave us BOLDNESS, a love for people, friendship, happiness, grieving, forgiveness, and healing.  It is amazing to see the church come together and support each other. 

Worship was powerful this week, everyone agreeing in song to lift up the Name of our Lord.  One of our favorite songs from the week says, “Set a fire down in my soul that I can’t contain that I can’t control.  I want more of you God.”  That is my prayer for all who were on this trip.

Thank you Pathway Community Church for being obedient to the Lord! 

Set a Fire in my Soul!

It was a good day.  After a tough week last week it is refreshing to have the Pathway team here.  They are all excited to be here and they are more mature in their faith than most of the people that were here last week.  They are probably blessing me more than I am blessing them.  It is nice for a refreshing encouragement.

Today we did a lot of roaming around just talking to people.  It is so neat to hear people’s stories and look for opportunities to speak into their lives.  It is awesome to step out of your comfort zone and talk to people. 

I talked to a catholic guy (Miguel) and his girlfriend.  They just had a miscarriage 2 days ago but over all they are handling it pretty well.  Miguel has a strong faith in God and was so encouraged that we were talking to people about our faith.  They were sad about the miscarriage but know that God has a plan.  You can pray that God will be their comfort and be even more real to them.

We had a great time of worship tonight, being real and open with God and each other.  As the song goes, “There’s no place I’d rather be than here in your love.  Set a fire down in my soul God that I can’t contain, that I can’t control.”  That is my prayer.

 I am excited for what God will continue to do this week!
