Sting Rays

Update for Czech missions trip:
I finished my application and it's being sent out tonight. If my prayer and this organization's prayer for internships is aligned with the Lord's, this is going to be a beautiful thing!

The zoo has to be one of the most awesome places to go to. Talk about viewing God's creation...wow.

It was beautiful.

I went Monday with some close friends, and we pet some sting rays. They're definitely unlike anything I've ever touched before. I picked up on something about them when I came home and checked out my pictures.

They are usually traveling all together.

They seemed to be facing the same way, most of the time. All different looking, with different personalities, but in the same ocean... traveling together.

I have to share something beautiful that I thought went along great with the way I felt about sting rays. Topic of conversation at home group last night was unity. After awhile of silence, a friend spoke up with a comment that ended our night at the perfect spot. That comment was this.

RF's comment: God wants us to be unified, but we all have different gifts, and share His gospel in so many unique ways. How can we be unified?

One person says, "We'll sing soprano." Another says, "No no we'll sing alto." The third says, "No way, we're singing tenor." So they sing together.

They sing the same song with the same lyrics.

It ends up being one of the most beautiful songs you've ever heard.

Thank You God, for giving us different tones, so we can create Your song.

Psalm 27:6
"And now my head shall be lifted up
above my enemies all around me,
and I will offer in His tent
sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make melody to the Lord."
