Well, Hello! I want to give a quick update:
- The Lord has been moving greatly through the Dance & Drill Team that I coach at Brewster Elementary. About 3 weeks ago, I started meeting with the 5th grade girls that are a part of the team for Bible Study. Out of the 15 girls that are in 5th grade on the dance team there are about 10 that have shown interest since the first Bible Study. These girls are excited about coming and learning about truth! Right now we are talking through the gospel by using the "Bridge of Life" and memorizing scripture like Gen. 1:27, Rom. 3:23, and Rom. 6:23. I have seen how a handful of these girls are serious about what we are talking through and even want to memorize the scriptures each week. Some of the girls have been asking me for a bible so that they can continue to look at these things during the week. The Lord has provided a way for me to get Bibles for them as I had lunch with a 25 year old medical student named Kim. I started sharing with her about the dance team and bible study with the 5th grade girls and from our conversation she decided that she wanted to try to provide bibles for these girls...I never even asked her, the Lord just put it on her heart! So this past Monday, Kim called me and told me that she talked with a friend of hers who wants to be a part of it too...and then Kim's friend talked with her mother and father that now want to help...and so now, there are a number of people who want to buy bibles for these girls. Each individual will provide a bible, write a encouraging note every so often, and if they have any other needs, they will be available. It's just neat to see how the Lord provideds above and beyond what we expect...ya know! He is Good!
- Oh...and then, also on Monday, I was walking into the office the the school after the lunch, and a parent happend to walk in a the same time and asked me if I was the dance coach. I responded positively and she handed to me 20 long-sleeve green and pink shirts and told me that the dance team could use them. I thanked her and then she just walked out. I was kind of in shock because I don't know her...her daughter is not on the dance team...and we need uniforms! Again...look at God. He is Jehovah-Jireh!
- I am going on a Road Trip for Thanksgiving! First stop is Whitehouse, TN (about 30 minutes from Nashville, TN). Soup is speaking at a Discipleship Conference there. We will be there Friday through Sunday...then I am leaving straight from there and will be in Valdosta for 2 nights, like Sunday and Monday...and then from there riding to Vidalia with my brother, Bryan, to e with the family! So I will get to see a lot of people over the next week! I am so excited about seeing friends in Valdosta and family for Thanksgiving in Vidalia! Then I will ride back to Valdosta with my brother on Friday...rest for a day before heading back to Memphis, TN. Please be in prayer for me as I travel.
Grace and Peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
