The Hope Network

On Wednesday we got the opportunity to perform for the Hope Network, a ministry that is run out of Northside Baptist Church that offers support for the parents of children with special needs. That day the Hope Network was having a day that was something like a spa day where moms could get massages, facials, manicures/pedicures, coffee, delicious food, etc. in addition to receiving encouragement.

Our plan after taking class that morning was to head to the church in the ministry van, set up the floor, and perform the dances Alive, Praise You in This Storm, and Hail to the King. But from the beginning, things went a little differently. Not badly, just differently :) Poor Oliver (the name of our van) ended up not being able to start, even with help from jumper cables, and so we loaded up the floor in 3 other cars and headed over to the church. Once we got there, we realized that there wasn't time to set up our floor, which ended up being fine because the space was a little small and slightly funny-shaped. To top it all off, we ended up changing plans at the last second, and ended up not doing Alive, and instead leading the women in doing arm movements to the song Healing Hands at the end. What a response! The Lord really used all those songs and dances....so many women came up to us afterward saying how amazing it was; I think they were really touched by the Lord! I can really see how the Lord is using this ministry to encourage these precious women....and I was blessed to be a part of it!
