a week in Nashville.....

This past week has been filled with all sorts of events. Some days I feel like I eat like a queen...having fatty shrimp for dinner, steaks or lamb......and then I'm reminded I live in the ghetto when I have to have someone watch me walk in between buildings. This past Friday our morning work out consisted of some student bonding at Cracker Barrel...a very yummy restaurant for breakfast. That same day one of our apartments was used for a movie filming turning a section of our property into a movie set.

I awoke Monday morning to find my tires slashed 3 of the 4. Hmm.....in the 4 yrs. Thunder School has been here never have they had vandalism to any cars and I got 3 tires slashed....so I think I must be doing something Good for the Lord if the enemy is out to steal my joy, peace and time.

Wednesday night we had an open mic night and so neat to see how creative God has made so many people and to watch them freely express themselves (even amongst the nervousness). One of our students rocked the drums after returning from the hospital with scare of a failed kidney transplant. the day after our prayers the Lord healed him and Doctors said he was OK. Praise God!
Our community is doing a two day fast and the 1st day consisted of our weekly homeless meal preperation...I had the privilege of slicing and serving the chocolate cake.....nothing but juice for two days....but already experiencing breakthrough personally in my life. God is GOOD! We've had awesome workshops this week, great speakers and the Lord refining areas in my life that I didn't even know existed. A quote I'm taking this week from a fellow student "We're like steaks the fatter and meatier the steak the longer it takes to cook on the fire....the bigger the calling and impact the longer the preperation".
