One of the highlights of the week was our concert with God in Charleston. It was amazing. We practiced the art of being still and expecting to meet God. The worship session downtown was amazing. God was there and it was evident. I believe it was a time that God and worship became real to a lot of people.
After that we spent the next few days hanging around Charleston. We saw the beach and the amazing city. Charleston was a great place and we sang 3 services on Sunday morning there. Then we drove to Columbia and sang at First Baptist Columbia. In all of my years on choir tour, this was probably the best concert. The Holy Spirit had free reign that night and the hearts of the choir were very tender. The place of worship truly was a place of freedom Sunday.
Monday we gave the girls their special time they had longed for all week. We stopped at the Concord Mills shopping center and the girls had a ball. However, I do believe the boys enjoyed all of the great places to eat there. Departing from the mall, we headed to Asheboro NC. Here we had an amazing concert. It was fantastic and as we sang Amazing Grace the words came alive to many. " My chains are gone, I've been set free", these words struck a chord with many and some truly understood the grace of Christ.
Tuesday was a long day of driving. We hit some curves and a few got sick. All in all we are fine now and not on a bus ..... We also saw Chimney Rock. It is a huge rock in the mountains were you can over look Gods beauty. Being on top of the rock was an ethereal experience. From the top you could see for miles and take in the beauty of God's creation. It truly helped display lifting our eyes to heaven to were our God lies, the creator of all.
Last night was senior night and it was a very emotional night to say the least. It was a very touching night to many and helped open up the hearts of the group.
Over the past week Clay has has phenomenal messages. We have been taking apart the Lords Prayer piece by piece. Each aspect has taught you how to live your life as a better Christian. We have covered the art of loosing ourselves, and the peace in letting God have control. The last few messages have just been great times and they have dug deep in the hearts of many.
I cannot begin to say what a blessing this week has been. This has been a fantastic year to be President of the group. This group is composed of amazing individuals who have great hearts, and it has been a blessing to get to know them all. Overall this week has been a time to realize how good God is and how he will take care of you through everything. The Holy Spirit has poured down this week and I am sure many will never be the same, myself included.
God is sovereign and nothing compares with his majesty. We have been washed with his grace. Let us sing his praise for all of the ages. Let us never cease to declare the praises of God, let it not be a thing limited to church trips.
In Christ's Love
