Wild Wednesday

So, we had Wild Wednesday tonight at church. We went on a scavenger hunt, and I had an AWESOME team!!! We went to Pruett's, the local grocery store, and prayed with a woman who Tamara knew, then we went and prayed for two random houses and left them notes saying as much, then we went to China and learned a new word in Chinese and gave the woman who waits on our group EVERY Wednesday an encouraging note, then we went to a bunch of other places, too. There were ten places we had to go. I have two favorites. My first favorite was going to Signal Point. We prayed for Signal Mountain and for Chattanooga. Then, I got to share my testimony with a man and woman who were sitting at picnic tables there. My testimony is something that I find awkward to share in certain company, but I did it anyway. I'm proud of that, but also, I was encouraged by the fact that the guy, Will, was really cool about it. I asked him if he would mind if I shared my testimony, and he was like, "sure." So I did, and he really listened. He nodded, agreed with me in places. It was awesome and touching. My other favorite was singing to a woman from our church in Alexian, the retirement home. She was so sweet about us coming in, and was so attentive as she listened to us sing. We sang Sanctuary, one of my favorites. The whole time we were singing, I watched either her, or the cross over her bed. I always either hold my cross necklace or my ring with a cross on it when I sing, but instead I got to stare at a cross. I know that's silly or whatever, but it was special to me. I really loved tonight. It was another perfect moment that I will treasure forever.
