Hey Everyone,
Just in case you hadn't heard. I wanted you all to know that I made it home safe and sound last night. I was very excited to see some of my friends and family. The trip was amazing and again I thank you all for your support throughout the entire trip. Thank you for being a part of such an awesome event in my life. I will be sending letters out hopefully soon which will include some pics, so be looking for those. Otherwise, again just thank you!
In Him-
Mindy

sunday, last day
Sunday...
Last day here. We are in between our last two sessions at the moment, so I have just a few minutes to write. Yesterday continued to be an awesome day. The delirious concert went great with around 6,000 in attendance! I was able to sit back and watch their lighting designer work. He was great. Very intune with the music. He clarified the definition of worshiping at whatever you do for me. It was a great inspiration.
Inspiration for today... why are you a christian? Just so you dont go to hell? Cause you want to change the world? Being a Christian means bringing heaven to earth for others. Are you striving for that?
Thanks for all of your prayers and support. I will leave here tomorrow around 8 am to head to the airport, getting home around 6:20pm your time. Please keep lanny and i in your prayers for safe travels, and the rest of the team. Can't wait to see you all again!
Love Mindy

Hey,
I actually have a few minutes to write today!!! Thanks to my parents who have been posting these for me. I have not been able to get on the blog in germany so im am emailing them to my parents. anyways, I am on Lanny comp. It is day 2 of the conference and Erwin McManus is in the middle of speaking as I type. First, I want to tell you thanks for all your prayers. I know that today I feel the power of God. I was extremely tired yesterday, and I got only four hours of sleep last night. Yet somehow today I am more awake and feel the power of God encouraging me. I know that a big part of that is all of your support and prayers back home, so thank you.
What have I been doing... hmm. Well, Tuesday and Wednesday we set up the entire lighting rig. You will understand how amazing this is when I am able to show you pics after I get home. Thursday was spent doing rehearsals for the band all day. Yesterday Friday was the first day of the conference so we spent the morning with rehearsals before it began. Today, the conference began again at 8:30 and goes all day, ending with a Delirious concert!!! For fans, you may know this, but it is there 3rd to last concert ever!
Sooo, why no sleep... life in lighting world is nuts. Though the conference may be done, or everyone else may be back at the hotel I am staying back at the venue with Chris Thomas, the lighting designer. Though I may only be taking notes or calling cues, I am learning so much. I know that without a doubt this is where God is calling me right now. It is not the glamour job, the typical day job, or the best paying. But to me, it is so rewarding to be able to set the mood with the lights. Yeah I may be weird but I really dont care. We are all weird right?
Well thanks for reading and thanks for taking time to pray. Please continue to do so. If I can encourage you in any way, it would be to love God with every single part of your life. Give everything up to Him and know that no matter what, you will be living a grand and fulfilling life. Erwin is taking about our soul's yearnings. The only one who can truly fulfill us, satisfy us, and love us completely. Our souls are screaming for God. We need love, faith, and hope. without them, our souls blackout. Take hope and believe!!!
I am coming home in two days, this week has gone so quick. Please know that I greatly miss you all back home, but that this trip has changed my life. I have had to completely rely on God, and once I prayed that He just takes everythings this morning, I have felt His love and power. Give it all up to Him and be fulfilled. Love you all

Friday
Hey everyone,
I just wanted to let you know that everything is going great. Thursday consisted of a long day of rehearsals followed by 4 hours of sleep. But today the conference started and it was awesome! My quote of the day from Bo Boshers, "though life isn't always easy, it's never complicated." if you give up yourself to God, life isn't complicated! Thanks for the continued prayers and support! Please pray for strength for the team and for Gods power to work in the hearts of those attending the conference.
Serving Him,
Mindy

Hey Michigan!
How is everyone? Well half way through my week and I am loving it! Today was crazy but we got all the lighting done and the hall is ready for rehearsals tomorrow. It's amazing what you can do in such little time! Please continue to pray for strength as the days are getting longer. I miss you all!

Hey everyone,
Well Tuesday was a crazy day! We started out the morning with the last day of real sleep, before going to the venues. These halls are huge!! We did devotions talking about how God pursues us in life and always has and will. Marty, our trip leader, talked about how God always shows up in places where people prepare for Him and how that is what we are doing. We then spent a while praying over the venues and the people who are coming to the conferences. It was a great way to start out the day.
From about 12 to 9pm, we were working hard. Starting out with nothing, we got a lot done. I am learning so much and I'm using my leadership qualities to teach others what I already know. This stuff is so cool though. It is 10 times bigger than anything I've ever done at least! But I am loving it, even though I'm super tired. Alright well I'm gonna sleep, cause we have an early morning tomorrow. We have to have everything completely set up by 6. Please pray for strength during the long week, and that I can continue to see God in all we do. Thank you all!
Love,
Mindy

Monday
Hey everyone, thanks for all your support and comments. It is really awesome to know that I have so many people supporting and praying for me. Yesterday we were really able to just take a day to relax off the long plane ride. Last night we went to one of the top ten craziest restaurants in the world. To hard to explain, so I'll post pics when I get home. We then went to a concert by Andy McKeys. Check him out on you tube. He's awesome! Today consists of meetings and touring the city, as everyone else is flying in. Tomorrow starts the real hard work, so please pray that I will take this time to adjust to things, before stuff really begins. The lord is apart of everything, and I'm so excited to see what He has in store for me this week. thanks again for all the prayers and support.

I've arrived
I arrived safely with 3 hours of sleep under my belt. Staying up to get on Germany time.
Today has gone awesome so far. At first I went out to town with the 6 guys who were here. We had some awesome lunch and then walked awhile. When we got back (4ish) another group was here so I went with marty and a guy named brian out to take the next group around town. There are a lot of cool old buildings and definitely a german town. Now we are going out to dinner soon and to some suprise place. Everyone is really nice and I am really loving it so far. I'm tired but it really didn't hit me till I sat down. Um yeah I didn't think there were any other students either but marty said that a senior in high school works with lights at one of willows off sites so he is coming, probably won't be here till tomorrow night. Honestly it is really cool to talk with all these people I don't know. They all have an awesome love for God! I met chris who I will be working under and he is really cool. I am so excited for this week! To see what God has planned! Please pray that I keep my eyes open to see Him and that I continue to stay strong. I am definitely treated like just another adult here and it is awesome yet nerveracking at times and humbling.

Excitement
K, so I started this for a few different reasons. First, for work or future stuff my resume and stuff will be on here for people to check out. Second, to stay connected with friends and family as I follow God on my life journey. So, if you are reading this, welcome to my blog. I will be updating it as changes in life occur and God shows me new awesome things. My big excitement right now is Germany. Only 10 days left, and I am definitely getting pumped. Please start to pray for this trip and all that goes along with it. Pray for all those going and that they would see God's purpose for them. Pray for traveling safeties. And please pray specifically for me and that God will use me in amazing unexpected ways. Thank you. I know that I couldn't do this or feel this excitement about it if I didn't have the support of all of you who care.
In Christ's Love,
Mindy
