Chorale Tour 2007

Officially we have been on chorale tour for a week now; I cannot even begin to tell all the stories that have transpired. All the crazy places we have stayed the night in, the repulsive food that people feed us or the annoyance of certain people on our tour bus. We have experienced God in ways that I had forgotten was possible. I found myself lying prostrate on the ground, humbled and weeping before the Lord. I felt so exhilarated after that particular service, because I realized that I had to be completely broken before Him to effectively minister to the people in the services. I prayed for 3 women that night, and God spoke through me to each of them. I heard myself speaking words of wisdom, encouragement, and blessing, that only God, Himself could actually have known. Afterwards, my heart was overwhelmed with the intensity of our services, and all I could do was close my eyes and thank God for His awesome presence.

So many times in my life, I realize that everything I do is pretty much on a wide screen tv for everyone to see. These people that we meet know who we are before we even get there, they have heard us, seen us, or know someone who knows us. It's crazy!!! After we sing and finish praying, so many people come up to me and shower me with their compliments and sometimes what they say is so genuine. It honestly touches my heart every time someone speaks something to be concerning my ministry. I cannot even begin to express how relieved I feel when someone confirms what I prayed over them or that my testimony somehow related to or touched them. And of course there are the people that compliment us on how well we sing, which is normal, but my favorite is when they act like we are celebrities! Ha! I love it!!! Some people are so absolutely amazing and then others so very special. But this chorale tour so far has been wonderful, and God is really blessing each and every one of us!
