Commissioning in Mobile

Wow! It's been almost a month since I've updated. I have to get better at this! I'm sitting in the Huntsville airport now. I'm on my way to another training in Orlando for the week. My flight was cancelled, so now I have a couple of hours to kill before my new flight.
Yesterday was my Commissioning Service at Sonrise. I just have to start out by saying that I don't think I've ever felt so loved by so many people! The whole service was incredible. From the music to prayers, poems, the message, my family and friends being there, it was definately a day that I will always remember and will be encouraged to see all of the support that my home church is sending me out with. I received so many encouraging cards. I can't even remember how many times I read the words, "Praying for you daily." Those aren't just words, and I don't take them lightly! I was also given a new Bible to take with me. The people I will be working with really value the appearance of a Bible. If it isn't well taken care of (which includes not writing in it), they think that you don't respect the Holy Book. I can honestly say that this is the most beautiful Bible that I've ever had, and I can't wait to take it with me and share the Beautiful Message that is within it!
