Blessings

Doesn't it just feel awesome when someone notices when you pour your heart and soul into something??

This past Sunday our friends Justin and Shara (along with the rest of UTurn) organized a church softball game that would be followed with food and fellowship. The event itself was an absolute blessing as we all played (first time in a long while for me), ate, and eventually started our "Ask the Pastor" service. Granted it was a little chilly but it was awesome looking around our circle and seeing men and women of all ages coming together for our cause...to celebrate all that He has given us!

After our softball game we trekked on over to the church where we held our weekly service. Boy were we in for a nice surprise! One of our regulars brought a professional Japanese singer to sing some of our hymns! This woman was AMAZING and it turns out that she's a pastor in Japan. It's pretty cool that while she's visiting, she wanted to come by a see how we worship.

The best thing? At the end of our service, she came up to me and told me that she plans on going back to her church and changing the way they worship!

I don't care who you are, that's pretty cool!
