The choir at yesterday’s Harvest Thanksgiving

Today it rained. A lot. And I had to walk places. But this rainy day was overflowing with beautiful things. Long chats at Hope, an infinite supply of beach balls needing to be inflated, wheat-less/jesus-filled lunch dates, more amazing study of Esther, and plenty of dancing and gospel sharing and pig cupcakes at Holiday Bible Club, all tied together with the heart-melting moment of my 4 year old friend Ruby, who giggles every time I look at her, excitedly telling me that she was praying for me last night. Then as I returned to her from singing a song on stage, she looked at me saying, "I could cry!" And she did. Either because it's sad that I was singing all alone, or because I had to leave her, I didn't really catch which one.. Jesus thank you for sweet friends like Ruby and Dorris and the smiles they bring. Even when it's because I'm on stage trying to sing while cracking up at Ruby's smiling, wholehearted attempt to do the hand jive actions to "fruit of the spirit".

Hard at work on the Holiday Bible Club workbooks. What does it mean to be completely saved? That Jesus doesn't say, here I do half and you do half, but that he did ALL the work when He died on the cross. Tonight three of my new friends asked Jesus into their hearts for the first time. Oh how exciting to let the Spirit come transform your heart and your life!! Thank you Jesus for sweet conversations about your faithfulness and sacrifice! Thank you for drawing your children closer to you!

When I say we painted shoeboxes, I mean we painted 62 shoeboxes, walked down the street to get 8 more, then painted them. And cut out 301 precisely measured golden strips of paper one by one. These kiddos are gonna have some darn good treasure chests to build at holiday bible club.

Praising God with parachutes. Sometimes you've just gotta take a little break from singing rehearsals and enjoy the beautiful sunshine and cool breeze. I'm sure He was smiling just as much.
