And She's Off!

Today marks the first day of my daughter's first mission trip, and we in the Felts household are all excited. There is just nothing like going on a mission trip to really help you to realize your place in the world. Something happens when you are on a mission trip, where the conditions are right to really help you hear from God in a new and different way. Being away from home, out of your comfort zone and being called upon to step up to a whole different level of living have the makings of an incredible time.

She is traveling to New Mexico with futureVision Ministries to go with Higher Level Youth group from Carlsbad Word of Life and spend a week ministering to those who need to know about Jesus. Really if you could see inside of me, and actually see my spirit man, you would see him doing back flips because I'm so excited for her.

Another really cool thing, is that my baby girl will be having her birthday while she is on this trip. So not only will she have an incredible encounter with the living God in the next twelve days, meet many new people some of whom will undoubtedly become friends for life and minister the Good News of Jesus Christ to hundreds of hurting people, she will be celebrating one of the mile markers of the teenage years, her sixteenth birthday.

My prayer for her is that God would come for her in a huge way in the next two weeks, revealing both Himself and what He has for her life in a big way. So if you think about Sissy in the next two weeks, say a prayer for her, thanks.

Okay folks, she's not the only one getting out there, get 'em up...and let's go whip something for the Kingdom today!
