Tuesday's Free Night was filled with GOD SIGHTINGS

On Tuesday night of the mission trip, the churches were all given the night as free time.  We chose to go out for a casual supper of pizza..... (or as casual as you can be with a group of over 50 people showing up at a restaurant that hold probably 65 tops! :))...and then go to the local beach area to just relax and enjoy Lake Michigan.

The pizza was amazing and the owner was awesome and kept the food and drink coming until we had to roll away from our tables.  Ha ha!  The God sighting came when a gentleman came up to me while I was eating with the others and said..... "I want to help your group with your pizza tonight.".....and handed me a $100 bill.  We were all shocked and humbled.    We had our FLY t-shirts on so he knew that we were a church group and wanted to thank us for what we were doing in Kenosha.  WOW!

After pizza, we went to the Lake Michigan Pier area at Simmons Park. Everyone had such a great time and it was fun to get out and really bond with the others. Some walked to the Lighthouse, some played frisbee, some made sandcastles, and some were brave enough the go into the cold water!  But we all had fun just being together.

The sun started to set and the view was breathtaking! Another God Sighting on this little portion was when we all got into a circle on the sand and had our church devotion. By then, the sun was almost gone. The seniors shared with the others what FLY meant to them and encouraged everyone to keep growing in their faith and with their FLY faith family.  The best part of the devotion was when all of the seniors got up and all said a prayer for the group. After the touching prayer, we all sat together in the dark and sang the song "Sanctuary" and many got emotional.  Faith-filled.....God moment!  By the end of this whole devotion, the full moon was so big and such an incredible red/orange color!  It showed once again how incredible God's creations are.  And it reminded all of us that during the dark times in life, is when we see God's light as the strongest or brightest....and without the darkness, we never would have experienced the God sighting.
