You Never Let Go!

Whenever I smell Abercrombie 8 perfume, it brings me back to middle school summer camps when my best friend, Whitley, and I would share the top bunk every year and that's all I could smell every night before we went to sleep!! Have you ever smelled a certain scent that brought you back to a place or memory as if it happened just yesterday? 

I experienced one of those huge flashback moments on Sunday night. The Hunter's had a night of worship and prayer at their house for Young Adults ages 18-25. At first everyone was just sitting around chatting and sipping tea (YES!) and eating yummy desserts, and then we played a get to know each other game. Now it was time to worship. We sang a few oldies but goodies... God of Wonders and Indescribable. It was cool to sing songs I haven't sung in a couple years and be reminded of their sweet truths.

Then, for the 3rd song we sang was You Never Let Go. I was INSTANTLY brought back to the memories of Hertfest. It was if I was still sitting in the second row, 3rd chair from the left, at the United Reform Church on July 31st in Hertford. If you were one of the England team members or one of the British Hertfest people that were there that day, I know you could never forget that day! The day we saw a glimpse of heaven. The day that the sun shone so bright through the stain glass windows you could feel the heat on your face! I pray that you can revisit that memory and see the "light that is coming for the heart that holds on!"

Go sing an old song, but listen with a different set of ears.

I'm coming home in 1o days! LOVE.

That's such a great example! I was so pumped when I got your message(s) about your speaking! God was definitely smiling on His daughter the other day! Keep leaning into Him as your trip winds down. Cannot wait to see what He does these next few days!!!

You're awesome!
