Today we left D.C. for Colonial Williamsburg.
After Colonial Williamsburg we went to Jamestown Settlement.
Of course, we had to sing a few times along the way.
After dinner at Cracker Barrel the kids finally got a chance to swim–girls first, then boys–before we met for a time of worship and prayer before turning in for the night. While we were meeting in the breakfast room at the hotel, several people stopped by to listen. One such couple was James and Laura. They were actually there by special invitation. You see, we wound up with an extra room, and since it was already paid for, James asked God to bring someone along that we could bless. So to that end, he and Mark Gandy waited outside the frong door of the hotel while the boys were swimming, not sure how they were going to figure out who needed to be blessed, but being obediently available for God to use. James was in the lobby when he saw Laura leaving the hotel because there were no rooms and he followed her out, where her husband–also named James–was waiting in the car. He introduced himself and told them about the extra room we had and about how he was looking for someone to bless. He also told them about our choir and that our purpose was to bring a message of hope and change to troubled teens, and to honor our military. Well, isn’t God good? It just so happened that the James in the car was in the Air Force, so not only did we get to bless someone, but we got to honor one of our military men. Like I said, isn’t God good? James and Laura came to listen to the kids and to witness firsthand just what they were about. Of course, we couldn’t let them leave without singing America, the Beautiful. What a testimony, not only of the power of God, but of His willingness to answer the prayer of a humble and obedient heart.
