aberdeen!

last night we got the chance to take over a churches youth service in Aberdeen...it was awesome!! we drove down there yesterday evening and i think those kids will never be the same because the love n grace n power of jesus was in that place last night like no other man. We got to down worship, two skits, testimonies, altercall, prayer time n more worship. it was amazing. Drew and Logan and Brendon did an acoustic worship set, then 5 of us did a skit called 'get to know me", its a funny one with lots of clapping and funny stories that makes the crowd laugh n loosen up. then alex shared her testimony and ROCKED it. then we did the skit we're taking on the mission trip that we've been learning and practicing all year almost..its the song Miracles by mariah carey and whitney houston. Kyle megan caitlyn ashley leli drew logan and i are in it...its powerful, so ive heard, cause we havent seen it since were in it. haha. but we'll video tape it sometime. so we did that play and then i went into the "miracles" that have happened in my life since Anthem started...i talked about my dad and the healing and restoration that've happened, which i havent even wrote about on here yet....so basically my dad came up here by the grace of god because i wrote him a letter about every id never told him about, all the grudges i'd held against him my WHOLE life that kept me from really knowing Gods love, it skewed my veiw of my heavenly father because i projected my earthly father onto my heavenly father...the unforgiveness and grudges and hurt and anger and unhealed wounds and bitterness was like a dam holding back the living grace and LOVE of god from flowing, flooding into my life...so my dad came up here was like armageddon in my life, it was just a weekend back in april, but it was paramount...it was the biggest thing ever. i let go of the hurt i'd held onto against him from my parents divorce and everything else...i read my letter to him and half way through it about i stopped because it was so hard and i was so afraid...and this is the moment that changed my lief and changed everything from that moment on for me...my dad lifted my crying face and looked me in the eyes and told me "nothing you say will make me love you less, nothing can change how much i love you, you are my baby girl" it was like the world stopped spinning...and through those words my dad spoke to me it was like God speaking to me saying the same thing "aimee you're my baby girl and nothing you can do will make me love you less" it restored my life, that weekend, that hour in pastor tims office with my dad reading that letter, praying, healing, restoring, reconciling, broke that dam that'd been built up to pieces and the great love of god that i hadnt known flooded into my heart in ways i never knew it could. so i shared all of that last night...and megan sang the song i wrote thats one here a few blogs ago..and then pt had me do the alter call! ahhhhhhh it was so amazing. crazy. i gotta go to national day of prayer so peace out!
