Preparations

As we prepare for the Harvest, it is exciting to see our to-do list get shorter (or at least not grow immensely), see others catch the vision, and see things beginning to come together.  Last weekend, Rachel, Denise and I gathered at my house to put together a short movie to advertise HOT.  We wanted to have something we could show at Lakeway, Crossings, and any other churches that were interested.

Even though we each cracked up as soon as the camera was turned on us, Matthew Davidson did an awesome job editing and think it turned out pretty cool!  It was great to make the video and spend a little downtime with these great girls.  My favorite part was just talking about the Harvest.  We had each researched certain aspects to talk about and it was so cool to hear how we can each use our talents to serve God.  I get excited when I think about how God can use each of us to serve His purposes and the interconnectedness of it all.  I love how God can use a 20-something teacher in East Tennessee to feed a 60 year old man in Africa!  Making this video reminded me of how big our God is and how He can use each of us to fulfill his purposes.  I hope you all get to see it soon!

Have any of you thought about how you can use your talents to help others around the world? I'm thinking something along the baking/cooking line.  I might also do a gift certificate for tutoring sessions.  Leave a comment with your suggestions to give others ideas!
