This past Friday we had dinner at Storch to spend some time with the students and staff after not having seen them for a few weeks. It was a great time of catching up and hearing about some of their mission trips! Afterwards, we were invited to stay for a Friday night bonfire. Unforunately the weather didn't allow for an outdoor one, so we had a fire in their living room fireplace. Jim (dorm dad) asked if I would bring my guitar out and lead worship. I was thrilled by the invitation and so Heather and I ran home to gather up the "supplies" (guitar, pick, music).
We sat around the fire and Heather led the singing while I played guitar. There were only a few girls around at the beginning but by the end we had about 10-12 there singing along with us. It was an incredible time of sharing our gifts/passions AND worshiping with these high school girls.What a blessing.
When my fingers couldn't play anymore, the girls passed around my guitar and led us in more worship. They excitedly ran up to their rooms to grab more music or scrap paper to write down new songs they had learned. I was so incredibly blessed to share in that time at Storch on Friday night. My heart was overflowing with joy as we left, and some of the only words I could get out were:
"This is why we are here!"
