Fixin' Up

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share a little about how I have seen God working in our lives this week. I (Tiffany Brown aka as Bro. Thom's wife aka Lucy's mom) have had the pleasure of chaperoning the High School Girls room along with Emily Brown.  The girls have been an absolute pleasure to be with.  We've smiled, and giggled and had some serious talks.  I enjoy each one of them.  Yesterday during their TAWG (Time Alone With God) time, one of the girls spoke out about reaching out to the middle school girls.  They wanted each of the high school girls to write a middle school girl a note and leave it somewhere they'll find it.  The girls immediately agreed that they would love to do that and started calling out names of people who they would like to write to. 
As the girls continued talking about how they'd like to connect with the middle school girls they came up with the idea of giving the girls a little "pampering" before the evening worship service. The middle school girls loved getting their hair fixed by the high school girls. They came out into the lobby looking so happy.  We took a few of them outside and did a few "glamour shots". 
I was so proud of our high school girls for including the younger ones on their own.  All of us have a want and a need to feel included at some point in time and it is awesome to see the girls living this out!
After fixing up their outside, we went to worship and talked about fixing our insides.  Pastor Rob talked about forgiveness: forgiveness for others, forgiving ourselves and how God forgives us.  God really spoke to many students through the message and they spent some time last night talking and praying over some issues that God was stirring up in them.
It is evident that God has been and is working this week.  Keep on praying!!
