Great Day with Great People!

Having a great day...just so thankful for the people around me, the amazing people I get to do life with!

Random life lesson!

So tonight I was hanging some clothes in my closet when my 5 year old niece, Ryleigh, came into my room and asked if she could wear one of my dresses. I complied and gave her a sun dress. As she finished putting it on and looked at herself joyfully in my mirror. This is what she said:
Ryleigh: "Nani, I am a princess!"
Angela: "Yes you are!"
Ryleigh: "You know why?"
Angela: "Why?"
Ryleigh: "Because my daddy said so:)"

WOW! Can you imagine if we, the women of this world, took what our heavenly father says at true face value.

HE TELLS US THAT WE ARE VALUABLE! HE TELLS US THAT WE ARE WORTH IT! HE TELLS US THAT WE CAN CHANGE OUR WORLD! HE TELLS US THAT WE CARRY HOPE!

So, there is my life lesson for today! What a wonderful one it is!

HOME SWEET HOME!!!!!!

Today was my first day back at the amazing WINBOURNE (an outreach of Healing Place Church). This year it is just my girl KP and I interning out there so here is a crazy picture on our way home after an insane day of servin' it up Jesus style!!!!!

Missing filthy flies

So the other day I was at my job at Sno's just taking a break outside under the little tin shed. The shed is close to our HUGE dumpster so there were flies EVERYWHERE! I started to think, 'Wow this is sorta cool that I don't mind these aggravating flies.'
It then started to make me miss the filth and nastiness of India, Africa, and anywhere else where the filth is. You see that is now what flies remind me of...they remind me of desperate people and God's love. I believe that is where God's love is the most....in the filth of His people. He is a God of love!
Now when you see a fly please say a prayer for the people that God LOVES so so much! He loves us in our filth! let us never forget that!

EPIC!!!!

Here my dear friends is the cover of Healing Place Church's brand new worship album! I have already listened to it countless times and I must admit...IT IS STUNNING! It completely represents the heart of the next generation. It represents their passion for Him, their desire for intamacy, and their hope for the world. Check it out on HPC's website or itunes!

MISSING WINBOURNE!

I have a job this summer at a gym...and it is fun! But I miss Winbourne way more than I honestly ever thought I would. I miss ministry as a whole! but there is something about touching peoples live everyday that I can never get enough of. To make things more interesting, every morning on my way to work I have been passing a newly developed neighboorhood AND you will never guess the name of the entrance street to this neighborhood....... I KNOW! I love and hate passing this sign now because I really would rather be sweating like crazy with some of my HPCers! Here is just a little look of the fun we would have working in the warehouse on Thursdays!

living out of a suitcase for Jesus!

This title is what I want to do for the rest of my life! WOW! I am 21 years old and I have the priveledge to travel with some of the greatest people I know! INDIA changed a lot for my heart! God is SO not afraid to prove Himself!!! here is a sneak peak and there will be more later!

just a glimpse of the beautiful people there! those eyes melt my heart!


THESE WERE MADE OUT OF SANDAL-WOOD...smelled SO good! or maybe we just stunk from 36 hours of flying...


The street out side of our hotel in Nandyal...I dont ever want to hear anything about my driving. This driving was AWESOME! (and nerve-racking!)



Pretty much what we ate for 9 days....YUMMY!


The AMAZING team from TN...they SO became like family!



This is Brenard and Stephanie...I cannot say enough about Brenard! He was our main host. AND everything else! He did the following:waiter, driver, translator, worship leader(vocals,drums,and guitar!), entertainer to the team (funny!), water bottle retriever, stage crew, trash duty, ice cream pick-er out-er, and FRIEND!!!!
