in this city...

Thanksgiving break has been amazing so far.
I found out about 1.8 Leadership Experience, got to hang out with some fabulous friends!

My friend Bethy's boyfriend made us dinner Monday night after we watched Madagascar 2. It was so great to be back with my friends from high school. They have changed so much, as have I. The summer after we graduated we didn't talk at all, and I believe it was a good thing. We needed to grow up. Now one has a cute apartment, and a family, and the other is headed towards her area of profession and in a serious relationship with an amazing guy who is after the Lord's heart. And me, well.. I am working in what I want to pursue as a career and focusing on God - I think we are all doing just fine.. & being reunited seems to be the icing on the cake... even though it makes me feel extremely old! Especially when I was feeding Bethy's baby!



I also got to see my old managers at The Twin. They told me some stuff that has been happening in Estill with the churches and such. He said that 'the girl' got saved. Which is awesome! I also got to go to a prayer walk around my old high school. I got to go into the auditorium around 6:30 and read scripture, while lifting up the school. It was such a great feeling.

Last year the churches around Estill started getting together once a month to pray around and inside the school. There was a lot of open homosexuality, drugs, and apathy in the building during school hours. But after hours, there was prayer and God's word being read. Now that is not as big of a problem. One of my past teachers - whom I look up to - told me this. But now he says there isn't any leadership in the school with the Christian organizations. None of the students want to get involved or be a light. This is something that breaks my heart. How are people supposed to hear unless there is someone to tell them. The reason why it is so upsetting is because I was the student in high school who wanted to lead the group and talk about Jesus during the meeting, but after that was over I was all about talking behind people's backs, starting drama, and getting involved with boys who didn't honor God.

But He is the God of this city.. and Better things are still to be done in this city..




I truly believe that He is moving through His children & it is amazing to be able to see fruit in my hometown!

His Grace is sufficient.
