Eagles Rising Opening Ceremony
Yesterday was the Eagles Rising opening ceremony for this year's new students. It was so great. Below I've attached some clips of the students singing. They are truly amazing. Half the students this year are second year students and half of them are new students that just arrived last week. They had 4 hours to practice for the opening ceremony. So talented!!! I keep thinking there has got to be a way to bring half of them to Texas for a tour at different churches.
And here is Graham Power speaking to the students and encouraging them for the year. He's the guy who started the Global Day of Prayer and he is very involved at Eagles. I know it is special for the students to know that people who hold prominent positions in their country care about them and come out regularly to spend time with them.
I am just an ordinary person on the greatest adventure of my life attempting to run with Jesus every moment. I am a missionary in a foreign country, although most of the time I don't really know what that means. For the most part I'm living out a life long dream from God to be in Africa, I'm living in the most beautiful place I could ever ask for in South Africa, and most days I wonder if I've really made the "sacrifice" people constantly commend me for making. But the one great sacrifice is being 1000's of miles away from my family and friends. So, to keep family and friends involved in my life here, I've got this blog going. I tend to write long stories, but I usually throw in pictures to keep you interested. I hope this helps to give you a small glimpse of some of what I am doing on the other side of the world. And know I love you all, I just wish there was some way to bring you here to be with me :)
