Memory of the Day
Just a beautiful memory with Alexis and her family tonight. I wanted to capture it before I fall asleep. To sit at the table with what felt like family and read the story of Christ death and resurrection beginning at the Passover meal. Grandma, Mother, Sister, Daughter, Son, Soul Group leader and Staff Leader read the story together. To laugh together, to tell stories of Mississippi and God's work in our lives, to talk about colleges and the future for Alexis, to see Adrian love on and laugh with Joe and set such an example for this young 9th grader, to know that God's LOVE was filling up the house, that's what Easter was about for us today. How Christ so obviously unites us in the Spirit is so powerful. I am so proud of these kids. All I can think of when I am around them is how much God is at work in their their lives and what a joy it is to see them grow. Thank you God for sharing these moments with me. How precious. I love you Lord!

you are being used in so many great ways. I think its so great to see glimpses of why God has us here in our specific places. He uses the glory of himself to show you that He is with you in this effort to relate and build in to these kids at UBC. Your obedience speaks volumes.
