Oh what a night...

God is so faithful...
And speaking of God's faithfulness, thank you so much to all those who have donated money to help me get to Prague. You are a huge blessing in my life, and I pray that the Lord will bless you tenfold in return!

I still don't have my address in the Czech Republic yet, but as soon as I do I will make it a permanent fixture of this site. And now for something not entirely different...

Yesterday, particularly the evening, was absolutely amazing. It was Ella's and my last night at church, and so it was a little sad, but so encouraging. We talked to pastor David, and he prayed over us powerfully. God spoke to me in some amazing ways through that prayer, the least of which is that I will live up to my name. Andrew means "manly, valiant, and courageous," things which I don't feel I always am. But last night God encouraged me and called me and enabled me through David's prayer to be that which he has named me. He also prayed that godly leaders would be raised up in the Czech Republic through me, and so please pray for me, all ye who read this, that I can walk forward in boldness and trust in God's word for me.

As if that wasn't enough, afterwards we went to Enrique's for dinner and $1 margaritas, and who did we run into, but Adriane Savage. I haven't talked to her in ages, and she just happened to be leaving for Dallas tomorrow. She got a job as an artist for a civil engineering company and is doing very well. We got to catch up, laugh, and pray for each other. God's timing is always amazing to me.

After that we went to the Bean Counter to see Homer Hiccolm play one last time, and who should we see but 1) half of the people that work at Starbucks, 2) Alaina Bearden, and 3) Jennifer Nissen, newly engaged/married. Apparently she eloped! God is so good. I was hoping and praying that I would be able to see people or at least get a hold of them before we left Abilene, and they all pretty much showed up in one night! I will definitely look back on my days in Abilene with love and thankfulness to God for all he has shown me and made me while I've been here. Praise the Lord!
