If you are reading this, I may or may not know you. Depends how you got to this page. If it was through my Facebook, you probably know me. If it was through Silver Ring Thing's Facebook, I most likely do not know you very well considering there are 21,000 possible candidates for reading this blog. Either way, know this. I'm praying for you. Isn't that cool to think about? People you haven't even met yet are praying for you. If you have attended one of our shows, we've been praying for you long before you even thought about coming to our show. If you are planning to come to a show, we are praying for you. If you are reading this, God placed you on this specific page for a reason. I may not even know what the reason is, but isn't it crazy to think about? People all over the world are praying for you right now. Praying for you to stand firm. Praying for whatever situation you are going through. Praying that if you made a decision to wait until marriage, no temptation will overcome you and your faith. Praying that you will stay strong in your faith no matter how young or old you are.
I think about it often and I find it crazy to think of how many people in this world pray for us, the tour team. Hosts from every show are praying for this ministry. People we have met in Barbados tell us often they are praying for us. Prayers from host families, our office staff, parents, friends, churches, and even students. If you have been praying for us, THANK YOU. We really do appreciate it and we will never take it for granted.
I also think about my future. All of the people I am going to be blessed with meeting. Even to my future husband. I have not a clue who or where you are, but I have been praying for you. And I know that God has an incredible plan. I am going to college next year and I continue to pray for peace. Peace about the next step in life, but also peace with knowing God has life long friendships planned for me waiting for me there. My calling for Silver Ring Thing is not over yet, but it is just on pause. My prayer is that God will place me in people's lives and use me to speak to the broken and those who need it most.
My prayer for you today is that you realize how loved you truly are. No matter what you are going through currently, big or small, nothing is too big for God. He is there for you and has you reading this blog. He also has me currently praying for you. I may not even know your name, but know that I love you and I am praying for you. Praying that God gets you through whatever you may be struggling with.
I bet you didn't know
Long before the show
Late sometime last year we were thinking of you
We just wanted you to hear
And so
Listen up we'll make it clear
So there's no misdirection
We had you in our hearts before you knew us
Long before we were in your ears
We were...
...Praying for the crowd...
Here is the song we wrote about you
Here is the song that you can sing-along to
Up until you now you've only listened
So keep listenin and start singin'
I know
You've heard it all before
But you must admit there's something different
Something more than just a toe to the floor
Clap your hands and sing along
If your dancing keep on dancing
If standing still and holding on
Give yourself the chance to let go
And make it more
...Praying with the crowd...
Here is the song we wrote about you
Here is the song that you can sing-along to
Up until you now you've only listened
So keep listenin and start singin'
Here is the song we wrote about you
Here is the song that you can sing-along to
Up until you now you've only listened
So keep listenin and start singin'
So the curtains close
And you're heading home
And you're on your own
So we hope you know that we're thinking of you...
Here is the song we wrote about you
Here is the song that you can sing-along to
Up until you now you've only listened
So keep listenin and start singin'
Here is the song we wrote about you
Here is the song that you can sing-along to
Up until you now you've only listened
So keep listenin and start singin'
