Here, and In Position

We made the 12-hour drive flawlessly! God totally helped keep us safe, and I know that he helped us drivers stay awake and alert (in addition to several pops and energy drinks :). Feel free to give Brent O'Connor a big pat on the back, as he drove the all-girls van! We lost an hour as we got into the Nashville area (we are an hour ahead of MO), and arrived at Lee University in Cleveland, TN around noon. We enjoyed some free time/nap time until hamburgers and hot dogs at 5pm. Then the conference officially began, and it was a GREAT opening session! The atmosphere was one of energetic expectancy, and God filled the place as we worshipped Him. The speaker, Scott ?, did an excellent job of setting up this week's theme by discussing Exodus 3--Moses and the Burning Bush - How we, like Moses, have been sought out by God for a purpose that He designed us for, and we must get into a position of willingness! When we give excuses, God simply remiss us of who he is (I AM)! Please be in prayer for tomorrow (Monday), as we will be talking about the slavery in Exodus, and how we are slaves to sin...it will be a very heavy day as the students come face to face with their sin, and the reality that Jesus is the only one who can break those chains and give us true Freedom! I love and appreciate you all - thank you for your prayers and support!
