WE HAVE OUR BUS!!! "A brighter day"

YAY!!! We finally have our continental bus and no longer need the charter!! What a great gift to come after our best concert to date!! Just a quick update.. sorry guys I'm tired!!

So last night the kids prayed for all the tours out on the road and then prayed for our concert.. one of the prayers specifically asking for people to enjoy it so much they'd stand up and have fun! Another was for our offering so we could keep our bus going just in case anything else should happen!!

It was a beautiful church and had these long windows on both sides of the stage looking out at the arkansas trees surrounding us and right before the invitation it started storming and I knew some of our girls were scared of it so I prayed silently that they would feel God's presence in the lighting and thunder.. the rest of the show went beautifully and during our offering song PEOPLE JUMPED UP AND STARTING CLAPPING AND DANCING! And handing me checks already! I couldn't help but say in my send off that God was having so much fun he just had to add some of his own joyful noise! :) We had our best concert and our best offering so far!! It was amazing!!! The kids could feel it and then were even more excited when I told them we didn't use any track vocals except for the last song that the rest was all them!! :) :) :) You could just feel the energy sparking all around us and off us!! IT WAS AWESOME!!

And then this morning was a very early call time to unload our charter bus and get ready to load our continental bus.. because Pastor Jim (our continental driver) got in around 430am I let him get some more rest and we did some choreo and vocal clean up until he got there and were on our way.. loaded the bus and were off on our 7 hr drive to kansas. We performed 3 songs in a retirement home and had a blast.. and now we're gearing up for a later call time.. 10am.. a lot better than the 730 call time from this morning.. and we'll be on to Osbourne KS tomorrow!


Prayer requests:

THAT WE STAY THIS STRONG IT FEELS AWESOME!!

Offering keeps coming the way it has.. that God continues to bless us!

For our bus.. continued prayer that it will be fine and all the replaced parts will have been exactly what it needed and we will get through without any other mishaps!! :) :)

For our driver Pastor Jim: The teens loves him already and we are so excited he's finally with us, continue to pray for his strength and health!! We need him!! :)

Thanks guys for all your prayer!! WE NEED YOU TOO!!! :) :) :) AND THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK WE FEEL IT!!

Over and out!
