SHOUT

Higher Ground tour has arrived!
Tomorrow morning I will load a bus filled with middle school students (67 to be exact) and get on the road to Nashville. At this point we are as ready as we can be. The students have had a week filled with practices and are excited to get on the road and the adults have had a week full of random tasks in preparation to leave.

I wanted to ask that you pray alongside us this week as we go and serve in Nashville-

We will be doing missions at places like the Nashville Rescue Mission, Second Harvest Food Bank, The Room in the Inn, and other ministries in the area! Our students eyes are going to be opened to things that they did not know went on in such a large & seemingly thriving city like Nashville.

I hope to be able to post while we are out of town- I cannot wait to see what the Lord does in and through us in the next five days.

We are excited to be the hands and feet of Jesus and love on our brothers and sisters in Nashville- all for the glory of the Lord.

Happy Spring Break, Friends!

Many Blessings-
Ames

"Not I, But Christ"

As I have been preparing to co-teach our "Chick Chat" girls event this Friday night- I have found myself praying over & over again that the Lord would speak through me. That the spirit would be my breath and speak truth through me into the lives of these sweet sixth grade girls. That I would be a vessel that the Lord uses to speak into the hearts of His beloved daughters. I found myself reading Noel Pipers book- "Faithful Women and their Extraordinary God". In the book she shares these words from A.B. Simpson- they touched my heart this week and I wanted to share them with you-

"Not I, but Christ"-

Not I, but Christ, be honored, loved, exalted,
Not I, but Christ, be seen, be known, be heard,
Not I, but Christ, in every look and action,
Not I, but Christ, in every thought and word.

Not I, but Christ, to gently soothe in sorrow,
Not I, but Christ, to wipe the falling tear,
Not I, but Christ, to lift the weary burden,
Not I, but Christ, to hush away all fear.

Not I, but Christ, no idle word e’er falling,
Christ, only Christ, no needless bustling sound,
Christ, only Christ, no self-important bearing,
Christ, only Christ, no trace of “I” be found.

Not I, but Christ, my every need supplying,
Not I, but Christ, my strength and health to be;
Christ, only Christ, for body, soul, and spirit,
Christ, only Christ, live then Thy life in me.

Christ, only Christ, ere long will fill my vision;
Glory excelling soon, full soon I’ll see
Christ, only Christ, my every wish fulfilling —
Christ, only Christ, my all in all to be.
— A. B. Simpson



How incredible is that to hear- Not Amy, but Jesus Christ.


Happy Wednesday Night, friends.
