"Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives.By opening
up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven."
Matthew 5:16

Loading up and heading out

In 23 hours we will be well on our way to Kentucky.  I have a HUGE list of things waiting for me to do in the morning...but for tonight, I'm going to bed with this thought on my mind:


She just said what I'm praying each student will be able to say after this week...a prayer uttered from their gut- a surrender of self and an invitation to allow nothing to be off limits to the LORD.  I believe that is God's heart for these students too...and I believe it can happen.
