All Things Must Come To An End

Well today is the day I head out and go back home to Tn. I am pretty sad to be leaving.
Yesterday I spent the day taking pictures in a run down area and I loved it, then saw Vistoria McCarter and spent some time at her home and today I went to Mercy again and saw a friend graduate. Kelly T is done! I am more than happy for her. She has come such a long way and God has done some amazing things in her life and she is going to change some things I can already tell. Today I also spent some time with Heidi just reflecting over the past couple months but also just on how awesome God is. God has just taken things that the devil meant for harm and made them into good. The scares are a testimony. They are a reminder of just how big my God is. They remind me of where I used to be but then I can see where I am. God has done a great work in my life. Dang its awesome! He is good guys! Just taste and see that the Lord is good!! You will never be able to turn on your back completely on Him again!
Well time to go... 8 1/2 hours and I should be home..Then I have to work at 4...blah. Pray that I am able to stay awake and don't get tired on the drive.

Mercy Trip

Today I went back up to Mercy and I thought that I was going to be the one to bless the girls but it turned out that they bless me. I took some goodies to the gilrs and hung out with them and it was so encouraging to be there. I loved seeing them get excited over such little things that people often take for granted. I got excited watching them. I want to give to them because I can see so much in store for them. I can see freedom knocking. They are so close to being the next city changers. These girls lives matter. They are so special and they all hold such a special place in my heart. I know I gave to them all I had, but somehow I feel like I have not done enough. I know that I will continue to do all that I can for them. I believe in this Ministry because I have seen how it works firsthand. I can smile in the darkness because my emotions do not matter on this world and what is around me. I can be happy when the world is telling me I should be depressed. I can give far more than I think I can afford because I know that God will bless me so that I can bless other. I believe that even if I give a dollar it will go a far way. A simple act of kindness can go so far. This trip has been the best trip I have yet to take and it has only been the first day. I am overwhelmed with how much God has blessed me. God is amazing and I am so thankful that He has changed me so much! I am not who I used to be! I have found Freedom! And I am so thankful that His Mercies are new every morning. I have a wonderful Daddy!!
Well I am going to go now because I think I just need to go and take in this day a little more. My heart is just touched beyond words....
