So the college group at KFBC ventured out on a mystery mission trip (as in i had no idea where we were going until we got there...and believe me i really tried to find out). We stay at Truett-McConnell college and the first day we washed shop windows for Jesus! That night we read the passage in John about Jesus washing His' disciples' feet and then Eric/Erin/and John washed our hands - not only showing that they were humbling themselves, but the process also humbled me. The next morning we picked up trash by and in a river (i was one of the lucky ones to get to jump in the river!) and then after a quick lunch, we went to a mobile home park and hosted a back to school party for the kids living there. We made snow cones, had a puppet show, and played games with the kids all afternoon.
That night we were blessed to have one of the new professors from the college speak to us about missions and that night God really convicted me that i hadn't completely given myself to Him, that my ideal life wasn't God's plan and instead was my own. Needless to say, God brought me to my knees in prayer and I adjusted my point of view. This night was the most profound i experienced all week.
The final day, we helped paint and clean up some apartments on campus. I love painting, so i had the best time serenading the others with my wide range of songs and artists. When we got home, i was so exhausted. But it was a good kind of exhausted, like i had accomplished something important.
Now my next journey is working through the book of Esther. I have a Beth Moore book to guide me, and i'm excited as i look for God's calling on my life. Soon i'll be back in Charleston and classes and Ministry Team. I know this coming semester will be a good one for sharing Christ with others.
