encounter

Today we went out onto the streets of southside and did a treasure hunt.

Treasure hunt? Yeah, that's right. Our group decided to split into groups of 2 and listen to the Lord and see who he wanted us to pray for. We jotted down some clues--bandana, nose ring, yellow shirt, waterfall, boyfriend, dad. These are just a few of the things that might have popped up. Then, we were sent to the streets. We looked for people who demonstrated these qualities and low and behold, Evan and I found our treasure--or rather, God's treasure. A lady who had on a yellow shirt, blue pants, was dealing with a boyfriend who's dad had died earlier this year. Tomorrow is Father's Day. We showed her that she was our treasure. We prayed some sweet blessings over her. I'm pretty sure she was blessed.

God is awesome. I can't tell you how many crazy things have happened in the course of this week. I've learned how to encounter the Lord, how to listen to Him, how to show His love for others, how to disciple, how to baptize, how to have communion with the most common of things, how to worship. My life has been wrecked.

I've seen the Lord work in crazy powerful ways in other countries, but I'm finally seeing fruit in the good old USA. What a blessing! I'm SO pumped to go back to school and see how our Father will work! Grove City is gonna get W-R-E-C-K-E-D this next year. God's gonna move like crazyyyy! My Dad loves me. He really does. And He REALLY loves you!

God. You are SO GOOOOOOD! I'm ready for the next season. Life couldn't be any better. :)
