It's Summertime in Texas. If you know me at all you know that I am a Texan. Born and raised in Texas and PROUD of it! Love Texas....but the heat? Oh my word! Strongly dislike the heat. So, in the summer I like to stay indoors as much as I can, but this year I really haven't been given that option a lot, but I'm actually okay with it.....because....MY SUMMER HAS BEEN PACKED WITH AWESOMENESS!!! :o) So, here is some of my summer in pictures and short details. :o)

This whole summer has been packed with lots of opportunities to reach out to those in need around us and lots of opportunities to show God's love! You don't have to twist people's arms to get them to church...all you have to do is go beyond your comfortable four walls and take Jesus to them. Be a light and show God's love wherever you go and people will ask you why you are different. Tomorrow we start our very first nursing home service that will be led by some of our young adults and youth. It's so AMAZING to see how God is using our youth. I've NEVER seen so many young people so hungry to be used of God like this! It's absolutely amazing! Just wait! You will be hearing more about the revival that is happening in our church and among our youth. LOVE it!
If you want to see more from this mission just go on Facebook and 'like' our One Way Mission page.
Until next time...
Peace, Love and Red Velvet Cake Ice Cream!
