Heat wave!

Right now I'm in Louisville, KY fund raising for MC at the Hullabalou music festival.


So far things are going well! I enjoy being outside, though the 100 plus degree heat index days are slightly beyond my ideal temperature;). The work is not bad at all! Though it's menial work I'm determined to keep my shoulders back, chin up, with a smile on my face!
Why?
I know Whose I am.


We are catering for the VIPs behind the mainstage, serving tech crews and some band members who are here with Train, Bon Jovi, Kenny Chesney, Dave Matthews, Dierks Bentley and more.


Though it is exciting to meet or at least see from close up some of these famous folks, I know that they're just humans. These stars will one day lose their luster. Popularity, beauty, riches, and fame will eventually fade. No one will take anything from this life to eternity, except souls won for the Kingdom.


So I endeavor today to take any opportunity afforded me to win a soul.

Wow!

One month from today I will be in Floyd, Iowa, venturing into a new season of my journey with the Lord. It is unreal!


I haven't been in full time ministry in years! So much has changed inside of me since the last season of ministry. So much that I hardly know what kind of leader I'll be! I know I'm not perfected in the areas of aggravation, temper, entitlement and other unlovely characteristics that defined me my second year of Master's Commission in Lafayette. But such inner changes have been brought about over the past 2 years... I'm not even the same girl!


My greatest desire for myself this year is to be characterized by love- the first fruit of the Spirit. Fruit needs to be cultivated, and cultivation equals work! Lord, cultivate love in me! I desire such love for the students that even in the most stressful moments I would respond in pure love. Respond, not react. I desire that my love for them would be sacrificial. That I would learn to lay down my life for those whom God has entrusted to my care. That I would cooperate with God's loving will for their lives and seek His leadership in how to love and lead them well.


Yes Lord. Teach me to love and lead well.
