Just a quick post before bed. We have a 4:30 wake up and a 5:00 AM cab to the water taxi. Cabs are scarce in the early hours so we have to shuttle all of us with 2 cabs.
Our worship tonight was about the presence of God with us during the week. We also shared our greatest challenges of the week and how we overcame them. Challenges are better met when we allow the presence of God in our lives carry us forward.
Tonight also marked a milestone for our six seniors. This is their last major event as a member if the youth group. The six have been extremely close over the years, goring up in the church and maturing in faith. Each shared their feelings for one another and for the youth group. There was laughter and there were tears shed as well. The youth group will miss their leadership and presence as they go forward into another chapter of their lives. Each member of the youth group and the chaperones wrote a few words of encouragement for our six seniors.
We have all been blessed by pour experiences here this week. We will carry those memories with us, but more than that, we will all lean on those memories to inspire us to continue to minister to others in the varied mission fields we find ourselves.
We look forward to returning to Marion and our church family. Phone calls will be made tomorrow when we are in Houston.
