Day #11: Living Witnesses

     As a holiness choir, we look different. To say we stick out like a soar thumb would be an exaggeration, but I have found that I don't mind. We are called to be different. We are the salt of the earth, the light of the world. 

    

 Yesterday we went to a little hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant. It was amazing! I'm not one to say that too much because we had Mexican seven times on Spring Break tour, but this was amazing! It was so small, in fact, we were pretty much the only ones in the restaurant. (That's what happens when the Overcomers come in, we take over a restaurant.) After we ate, we sang "The Cross Still Stands" to the people that worked there.

     They seemed to enjoy it!

     Looking different really gives you the chance to be a witness. I can't tell you how many times we have gotten off the bus and people will stop what they are doing just to stare, and some will even ask us who we are. It is an open door. Once at a Cracker Barrel, (another frequent stop for the Overcomers), some sang to a lady that worked there and she ended up coming with her husband to the service that night!

 

    Another place where you really, really look out of place is the beach! We went to the Jacksonville Beach, and thank the Lord it was not really "beach season," so there were not that many people out there. Boy, did we look "different."

 Don't be afraid to look different! I know its hard when you're not with a big group that can support you, but its OK, and it is what God's called you to do! 

 Choir tour is going well. We'll be singing in Jacksonville tonight!
