625!

Hi friends,

We got back safely and I have lots to share about my spring break in Florida. So expect a big update soon! Get it...?

Here's a big stat for you -
Last week, 625 people came to accept Christ into their hearts!
625 new brothers and sisters that we'll spend eternity with.
625 people that were probably not expecting something life changing to happen over spring break.
625 hearts that God has been moving and working.
625 people finally home.

What else can you do but smile, and celebrate?

"In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents." - Luke 15:10

Truth.

Excitement!

Oh we're about an hour away from starting our journey down to Panama City Beach! We'll first drive down to Virginia (about a 10 hour drive) and stay at a motel for the night. Then we'll get up bright and early in the morning and finish out the rest of the trip to Florida (another good 10 hours).

I'm not sure if I'll have internet access there but I will be bringing my laptop just in case. I'll try and do a quick update if I get a chance to. I'll also be bringing my camera so I hope I'll capture some good moments to post.

Please pray for us! I'm not looking forward to the long car ride but I'm eager for the time we'll spend with each other. I know it will be a good opportunity for the team to bond before arriving. Long car rides also mean a higher likelihood in getting on each other's nerves. Please pray that we'll focus on Christ and instead of beating each other up, we'll love each other as brothers and sisters. Lastly, please pray for the team's hearts as we mentally and physically prepare ourselves for a long week. I'm excited for what God has in store for us so off we go!

Lies

You can't trick me New England weather. Two straight sunny days? Stop hiding your true self. What's tomorrow's weather like - 20 in. of snow? 40 mile wind? cloudy with a 99% chance of thunderstorm? checks weather.com

A sunny 50 degrees? Realfeel 49! What. Is. Going. On.

I'm going crazy. I'm going out to soak up the sun before it disappears for another few weeks.

Boy, New Englanders sure are cynical
