God is amazing

God has always blown my mind by the places and situations he has put me in! He always seems to give and take at the most perfect times in my life, even though it takes me a while to realize it. I'm not going to backtrack because you would be reading for days, so I'll just fill you in on the things God is doing right now in my life....
About three weeks ago my world was turned upside down, but in an amazing way. I was offered a job working with Brock Gill, this awesome Christian illusionist/evangelist. In literally three days I accepted the job, withdrew from school, quit two jobs, packed as much as I could and moved to Nashville, TN. I was a little scared but the second I got into Nashville, amazing things began to happen.
Brock and Auny are two of the most purpose driven people I've ever met. Their goal is to share the word of God with as many people as possible, no matter how many miles they have to drive. God speaks through both of them and I can already tell that I will learn so much from these two.

So far I've been in seven states in about seven days...yes that's a lot of traveling! I have now been to Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and back to North Carolina. This little NC girl finally ventured out. It's about time!

Brock is teaching me some new things about food...bascially that it's all bad for you. He now has me eating organic things and helping me try new types of foods. I had sushi for the first time and I must admit I loved it. It had eel, crab and something chewy in it that I didn't want to know about, so I didn't ask. It was good, so I'll just stick to that!! This was only the beginning....i'll tell more later!

Besides new food, I am meeting so many new people. Nashville is like that greatest place to meet anyone you want. So far I've come across some amazing artists, and I believe it's only the beginning.

So much has happened in the past two weeks...I can't begin to explain every detail, so I'll just tell all about what's happening right now! I'm on the FX tour right now along with some incredible artists and athletes. This shows reaches so many who are unchurched and just broken. They come to this event to see magic, BMX, Skateboarding and music, but receive the message of God in addition. How cool is that.

On this tour are some awesome people and as I get to know them better, I'll tell you more. But for now I'll tell you a little bit about them. Kim, who is pretty much amazing, helps with stay sane. She has taught me everything and has become one of my favorite people. We make jokes and laugh like we've known each other for years! God has blessed my life with her!


The craziest guys I have ever met are called Eleventy Seven. They make everything so much fun, truly the life of the party. Matt, Caleb and Jonathan provide so much entertainment on and off the stage. The second I met them I knew we would be instant friends and not because we were at the Logan show together...(inside joke)! They make me smile and add so much enthusiasm to this tour! You need to meet them!!!

Another awesome group with us is Group 1 Crew. They are from Orlando, FL and they add soul and beat to the show. These three have been blessed with the gift of music. They draw the crowd and captivate with lyics meant to praise! Manwell, Blanca and Pablo are amazing and are a joy to be around. Esp. with Manwell's choice of movies....hahaha, just kidding Manwell!

To add some stunts and tricks to the tour, Chaos on Wheels and Tim Bryne hook it up! Choas has their BMX bikes everywhere and Tim's unreal skateboard tricks make you sit on the edge of your sit to watch! Tim flips a skateboard in some ways that seem impossible, but for him, second nature! He makes me laugh and when he's not switching the name of his wife(JK), he's coming up with new ways to flip a board like no one else!

Add in some crazy illusions provided by my new friends, Brock and Auny and you've one amazing show! Brock does some dangerous, and I mean dangerous tricks to get the crowd hyped. Can't tell you all about it but I'll just say there are some bullets, a revolver, a coffin full of water and even some chains! You'll have to see the show to understand, but it's worth the wait!
All these people make this tour amazing! This is ministry all about reaching the lost and strengthening the saved. It amazes me everytime I stop and think about it. What an opportunity to be a part of a minsitry like this! All I can say is, Thank you God!
