LOL was simply, amazing last night. Micole Wallace came in and led worship with 5 or so amazing songs and Angela Pierce spoke and gave an incredible testimony. Her life and how Christ has walked with her during the tough years and how He never gave up on her - not many dry eyes in the place. The students were lined up to speak to her afterwards.. which is awesome! I got a call/text/email from some parents saying that their daughter came home and climbed into bed and told the story of last night and how it affected them. It for sure opened a line of communication (parent - child) that is so needed today. I am just blessed to be part of all that God is doing. Facebook lit up last night with comments. If you missed this, I feel for you because you really did miss something special last night.

Be in prayer for Angela today as she is at Duke hospital today and is asking for prayers.



Yesterday had me in a odd place with the music and media that our kids are listing and watching. Today I want to focus on a song from Jeremy Camp. I have tickets to see him up close and personal in concert on October 21st and I am so flippin excited. To see Jeremy in concert has been on my bucketlist for a few years now before I croak and leave this earthly home. I am pumped its finally going to happen!
Last night while dropping some students off after LOL - Morgan asked to listen to this song. I smiled .... absolutely! This is what we should be filling the minds of our young people and not the crap they are listening to today.

We Cry Out ~Jeremy Camp
Anthems fill the skies with praise
all your mighty works displayed
Your glory, they tell of your glory

We who've been called upon your name
Cannot be silent, we will praise
We'll sing it out, oh we will sing it out

For we have seen the greatness of your glory be revealed
And we have seen all that you've done and we cannot be still

We cry out to you
Your loving kindness and your truth
It has delievered us, you have delivered us
Great is your glory lord, when nations learn of your ways
they will boy down to you, we will bow down to you

Verse 2
INto all the word we take the mystery of your saving grace
To shine the light into the darkness
For we have seen the greatness of your glory revealed
And we have seen all that you've done and we cannot be still

We will cry out to you
Your loving kindess and your truth
It has delivered us, you have delivered us
Great is your glory Lord, when nations learn of your ways
They will bow down to you, we will bow down to you
We will cry out

I hope you take a moment and download this song or buy it at a local retailer. It really is an amazing album.
Colossians 3:1-4
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

Rise up loved ones and shine the way Christ has made you to shine. Anything less is falling short and not glorifying Christ.
