Rich Adventures in Richmond

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you all have had a good weekend so far. Mine has been very refreshing. The weekend actually started on Thursday for me . My college was on Fall break which is basically a four day weekend for students to just take a break. Since one of my roommates is from Arizona and I'm from Florida we couldn't go home so we all decided to take a trip to Richmond which is about two hours away from our school. It was beautiful! Richmond is full of beautiful historic sites and all of the leaves are changing color. It was so awesome. We went shopping, bonded a lot, and went to a really cool cultural music festival. The coolest part of the whole trip were the awesome Jesus experiences we had. First when we went to the mall we stumbled upon this beautiful Christian clothing store called Altar'd State. It had beautiful modest clothing and was filled with worship music, awesome employees, and a Holy Spirit filled atmosphere. Not to mention I wanted their dressing room to be my bedroom. Along with that we went into Urban Outfitters and my roomette Megan was checking out in line, she felt led by the Holy Spirit to ask the cashier if he needed prayer for anything. He said he was okay but Megan said she could see a look in his eye of surprise. Who knows, maybe he was questioning God or if anyone cared about Him and God used Megan to step in. One thing I know is that the Holy Spirit will never prompt you to do something that is without effect. It doesn't matter if we see the results or not,God sees them. The next day we headed to downtown Richmond for the folk festival. Katarina (my other roomette) prayed that God would just open doors that day for us to share our faith with people. so guess what happened, we got to share our faith with people. God is so cool guys. We took a bus to get to the festival and met a married elderly couple, they asked us what grade we were in and then that led to us telling them how Jesus led us to go to Liberty and how much we love him. It was awesome. Then these two girls at the festival came up to us saying they were doing a project for school where they went around and interviewed people asking them what the meaning of life was. So of course me and my roommate's shared how the meaning of life was Jesus and how He makes everything purposeful. I can't forget to mention that we randomly walked into this tent and a Native American guy in a traditional costume was rapping about Jesus and  sharing the gospel. Come to find out his stage name is SupaMan and he was MTV Artist of the week and we got to meet him after his performances. You could just feel the love of Jesus coming from him and he asked us to pray for him which was so awesome. So basically Richmond was not only beautiful to the eyes but beautiful to the soul. God is amazing and the Holy Spirit will lead you to the coolest places to meet the most random people who's lives could be forever changed because you share the love of Jesus with them. Revival is happening, the last place I thought I would find it was my dorm room. But Jesus does the unexpected and I am so ready for more. Love you guys and hope you have a great week!
