"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

we've arrived!

After a VERY long ride with VERY little sleep among us, we have FINALLY arrived safely. 
After a time of prayer, we posed and
anxiously awaited departure...
the bus ride went smoothly- lots of sleeping, laughing, and fun!
We awakened to a beautiful sunrise and headed to Cracker Barrel for an EARLY breakfast...
{waiting...}
{and waiting...}
{LARGE sodas for breakfast!}
{Plates of carbs...gravy, grits and biscuits!}

We're off to a good start...ready for things to get off the ground in about two hours.  There's a sense of excitement among the kids--and many of them are at the LIFE Store as I type spending MONEY...prepare for loads of tshirts and sweatshirts to be coming your way soon!

Thanks for your prayers for safety...
Continue to pray for unity and open hearts for each student...

PTL - so glad those 2 bus drivers knew what they were doing :)
I prayed a few times through the night for alertness - thanks for taking good care of our kids. Anxious to hear what God is going to do in the lives of you all. - Still Praying - Melissa (or in Janae's lingo - Mother Herr:)
