Where does the time go?

Uhhhhhhh, it's September 23rd already? Since when did that happen?! Well, 2 days ago marked the 1 month anniversary of hitting the road. It is insane how time is flying. It's even crazier to think only 8 months left on tour. Tour has been one of the biggest growing experiences for me. I've been stretched and pulled, we are still human. We are real people on the road just answering God's call for our lives. It's been a roller coaster. We've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly of every tour team member. Haha, I mean we live with each other. What do you expect? But I have made some of the closest friends on this bus. God is awesome. Even with the ups and downs, we have grown so much as a team and as individuals. When days get hard, all of those cares and worries go away in a heartbeat when students come forward to give their lives over to Christ and put on a ring. It is a reminder of why we do what we do. After only 7 shows, over 800 students have given their lives to Christ. 800 lives changed forever. 800 students that have joined us in eternal life with God our Father. That leaves me speechless. Hearing that just makes me want to fall on my knees praising God. It allows you to humble yourself. I feel so blessed to be a part of such an awesome ministry and such an awesome team. For some of us, we have only known each other for 1 month. We act like we have known each other all our lives. God has been so amazing in just one month, I am so pumped to see what He is going to do after 9 months. All I can say is...Praise God. We are headed to Tennessee for a couple of shows. Then 4 shows in South Carolina. I get to see a few friends in South Carolina, which leaves me very excited. After SC, Alabama. Again, I get to see a familiar face there as well. Then in 2 weeks, I will be headed HOME! See you soon, Pittsburgh! :]
