My last Wednesday night at SMBC.
Two of my favorite pictures from the night: Heather and me by the fire (Heather adorned in her tacky Christmas Sweater for the CraZe costume contest. Scott and Ben in their private concert with Bobby as he practices for the night; Baby Ben loves music and Scott took time out of his busy Wednesday to sit and love on his baby boy!
Crave Worship was a night to remember. It was my good-bye party. I got to speak from my heart about how I was called to South Africa, took the crowd on the journey through specific scriptures that the Lord clearly spoke to me through, and concluded with some thoughts I wanted to leave with our students. There were surprises for me along the way- a song written by Callie about a lesson I gave in Monday Night Bible Study this summer, my Single Ladies video, pictures scrolling of my SMBC memories, cash gifts from the students, sweet hand-written letters, and a new backpack that I can take with me. It was an emotionally and physically exhausting night, but very necessary for closure and saying good-bye to this chapter.
