Good morning, friends! Yesterday
wrapped up quite the eclectic month of speaking for me, and today I want to recap
the adventures. You’ve seen snippets of some of these in other stories
sprinkled throughout the month of May, but for the sake of posterity, I’ll create
this post as well.
My
first stop in May was back on our monthiversary, when I shared briefly at a
service for the National Day of Prayer. I represented the media and shared ways
that people could pray for those in the media. The service was held outside,
and I was really grateful for a decent-weather evening! I was able to see old
friends, pray together with Ryan, and pray specifically for some of our
friends.
About
a week later, we traveled to Greencastle (you saw this one in the Day in the
Life post) to speak at a women’s event at a Baptist church there. They did a
really sweet little tea with sandwiches and treats, all kinds of tea, and then
some fellowship time at each table. We gathered in the sanctuary for music and then
I shared with them about pouring into each other’s lives.
This
was my first time to speak at any church in that part of the state. I don’t
think I told you in the previous post that after the event was over, I was talking
to one of the women who came, and she told me about her daughter and where she
had gone to college. Rather randomly, she asked me if I knew a lady named
Brenda, and I said, “Actually, yes I do! Brenda was how we ended up with our
sweet Lexi Grae! It turned out that Brenda’s son and this lady’s daughter are married.
What are the chances?!
A
couple of days after that, on Mother’s Day, I spoke at the little church near
home – the one where I’ve been serving once a month all year. I will sure miss
that congregation this summer. They are such sweet people. They were so kind to
us and even gifted us a hanging basket as a temporary parting gift!
Yesterday
I began my summer speaking at our own church! I’ll be doing a ten-week series
on what it means to be an ambassador for Christ. To start the adventure (which,
ironically, was the first theme of the series – the adventure of being an
ambassador), everyone received a wristband that says AMBASSADOR.
I
am so excited for this summer and the opportunity to share with my local-church-body
brothers and sisters in Christ!
