so last night i taught bible study on John 13. We talked about service and how to serve and what a servants heart looks like. and then bj, steph, and i shared about older girls who have served us and encouraged the younger girls to do the same. it was neat because lillian and carenthia were there and it is just so nice to have them around.
we shared about liza and her awesome heart, stephanie joseph and her friendliness to EVERYONE, erin pace and her humble spirit, carenthia and lillian and their servant attitudes. and i just really miss them so much. they have meant so much to this ministry and i wish that these new freshman could experience hanging out and seeing God in their awesome lives! Y'all are examples to us and we love you and miss you very much!
then the three of us washed their feet. i know, it sounds kind of strange. but it was a very neat and humbling experience. i really enjoyed it.
then after bible study..... WHITNEY TOLD US SHE WAS GETTING BAPTIZED!!! whitney is so awesome, and she has been talking to ann about it for a while now, and she and i have had some awesome conversations about it so i knew it was coming, but nothing can put unexpected joy into your heart like a baptism. YAY WHITNEY!! I AM SO GLAD THAT NOW YOU ARE MY SISTER IN TWO WAYS!!!
after her baptism, we all just stood around singing together. i love that this group loves to just hang out and praise our God. He is so powerful and faithful and he has blessed this ministry so abundantly and i am just in constant awe at the work he is doing.
