So after moving one more time to our fourth place and having an amazing worship time with the group staying in that house I am back in my own apartment. My flatty is left and I am SO sad but I know it is time for her to go. She is not leaving because she is worried or concerned but her job has changed with all the youth being gone, she has no one to work with. I am hoping that she will be back in August! He is going to do amazing things in her life! So after all this crazy stress it is finally calming down a bit. It has definitely been a whirl wind of emotions this week. I hope I never forget what He has taught me over this past week. What it means to FULLY rely on Him and everything else that has been tested this week beyond that.
I do want to share an amazing testimony that I heard on Saturday at our first service back under the tent:
We had an amazing service. You could feel the presence of God all through the crowd. We were worshiping and the service just kept going on and on. No one seemed to care about time or when the service was going to be over. Out worship director (Mark) shared an amazing story. Over the past week the men in Egypt have been sitting outside protecting their property and loved ones. Mark had been sitting out with a group of Egyptian men with his guitar until the wee hours of the night. He was just playing his tunes when one of the men said "Hey do you know that song O' Happy Day?" "You know the one that says when Jesus walk and He washes your sins away." After Mark got over the shock of the question he said "Well ya I do know that song." So they sat around the fire at 3am singing "O' Happy Day" After he shared this at service we sang that same song out as loud as we could under the tent! Praise God.
He is going to use this experience for His glory. I know so many that have been forever changed by this experience. If nothing comes out of this except that I have been forever changed, it would be SO worth it but I know He is doing so much more and is continuing to use this past week and the weeks to come for His glory. I cannot wait to see what awaits ahead!
The video on my facebook shows us singing the song "O' Happy Day" a week after this whole thing started. You can just feel the energy!
It has been an amazing week! I can't say that enough. Thank you to all who have supported me through all of this. I know it is so hard to see someone you know in danger. He protected me through it all. The safest place is to be fully immersed in the will of God! A special thanks to my mom and my little sis who supported me 100% with my decision to stay. I know that was hard for them! I love you all!
