The first reason is because I just tend to do things like that...I get an idea...and I do it. But, secondly, and most importantly because I want to begin using my blog more for ministry update purposes and how easy is it to tell someone to just go to "lindsaywhat.com". In my mind it is ideal.

Last Saturday at youth group we had so many new people. At least 5, I think. That was so encouraging. I remember when I was in high school how hard it was to get people to come and our students are doing such a great job. The exciting thing is that students come from many different walks of life...different ethnicities, different ages, different socioeconomic situations, different religions, and most of all, different personalities. That is
encouraging to me.The picture to the left is a glimpse at ministry we do at a school in Hillsborough. That's Rollan and a couple student leaders sharing the Gospel with a classmate. As this picture was being taken he told them he wanted to follow Jesus! We were very excited and have made plans to follow up with him to help him walk that out.
The picture to the right is Bridgette and Lisa. Bridgette went to NCSU and we've been meeting together for many months now talking about discipleship and praying for one another. Just today, Bridgette and I talked about her call to youth ministry. She has started helping once a week with the youth group at her church and will be going on a upcoming youth retreat to be a mentor and chaperon. Bridgette is stepping out into her destiny! As for Lisa, I have known her for almost 8 years! She is a year younger than me and is a student at UNC-Chapel Hill. She was a part of the youth ministry in high school and just in the past year we have started meeting, talking, praying, and studying the Bible. Just two weeks ago, she decided to come with me this summer on her first mission trip to Dominican Republic! Aren't these two girls beautiful?!God is moving in the earth. I'm excited we're a part of it!
I'll leave you with a picture I took a few hours ago at my grandma's house of some beautiful magnolia blooms...wish I could import the smell for you too!

I think its so awesome that the schools let you do ministry there! I think it counteracts much anti-Christian indoctrination rampant in classrooms, hallways, lunchrooms, and even textbooks. That Magnolia flower is beautiful!
