The Highest Praise Quartet

This is an update on what has been going on this summer. I have had the privilege of being a part of The Highest Praise Quartet and travel several places this summer. A few months ago, in March I think, me and some college buddies (Adam, Timmy, Brooke, Hope, Leah and Amber) went out to eat for Brooke's bday. After we ate we decided to go to the college and sing. Me, Adam, Hope, Amber and Brooke were singing and having a good time, Amber had to leave but the four of us kept singing. We discovered that we had a good sound together, and we really enjoyed singing together. We sang in chapel one night, not too long after that, and everyone really liked us. We sang together every time we got together, and we had so much fun learning new songs. This summer, we have had the privilege to travel and sing a little, and we still have one more thing we are doing before the summer is over. We sang here at Broadway in May, and had a blast. A few weekends ago we traveled to Virginia Beach and helped Bro. Foxx with a teen rally. He divided the quartet up and made us team leaders, we had to come up with a team song for our team and it was a lot of fun! During the service we had the opportunity to sing, and give our testimonies. We were all sort of emotional during our testimonies, I cried a lot, and Brooke got choked up during hers. After Brooke's testimony we sang The Master's Call, this song has amazing lyrics, and it all really got to us, we had trouble singing it, and we just all connected in a different way, it made us all closer having had that experience, we could not describe the feeling we had after singing that song. The next day we sang at Faith Baptist Church in Fredericksurg. We didn't have the opportunity to give our testimonies, but Brooke shared our experience from the day before when she introduced The Master's Call, and then we had to sing that song, I really struggled during the first verse and chorus, but when we were going into the 2nd chorus, Brooke grabbed mine and Hope's hands and we just all forgot about nerves and we just sang from the bottom of our hearts, and there were several people in the church who were crying, and we had a lot of people come up to us after church and tell us how much that song blessed them. That song is so special to us, and we will never be the same after singing it together. We had the privilege to sing again at Broadway yesterday night, for the youth night of the revival. We just love singing together and are all so thankful for this opportunity to serve the Lord this way. Highest Praise Quartet, born out of a random saturday sing fest in the college chapel, has had the opportunity of a lifetime, and none of us would trade this experience for anything. Just so you can understand why The Master's Call is so special to us, here are the lyrics to the chorus: "I will follow Him, surrendering all, I will give my life, I will sacrifice for the Master's Call. No mountain is too high, no valley too low. My eyes are on the goal, my God is in control, I will give my all, for the Master's Call." We are looking forward to our last time to be together as a quartet for a while, later in August. We are all so much closer after this summer's experience and so very thankful for this wonderful privilege to use our God-given talents for Him.
