Almost Done!

This has been an incredibly busy month. I had an emergency appendectomy, went to our annual End of the Year Beach Retreat, hosted XMC Experience Week for over 40 young men and women from around the nation, and now we are preparing for XMC Graduation this weekend.

I have to be honest, this is a bitter-sweet time. I love this class. I'm happy they are transitioning into a new season of life, but I've enjoyed our time together so much this past year!

I am especially amazed at the young women that God is raising up (pictured here). This is a picture of our First Year female students who will be graduating this Sunday night. They are some of the strongest most beautiful God-fearing women I have ever encountered in my twenty years of ministry. I cannot wait to see what God does in and through them in the days ahead! They will change this world! They are worshippers, they have hearts to fight the injustices of our generation and right wrongs, they are relational, pure, encouragers, and God-confident. And brave! They are not only learning to walk out the liberty God has for them but they are fiercely embracing it.

They have blessed my life tremendously!
