life has been busy and crazy here lately, but wonderful! :) God is absolutely rocking my world, and changing my life in the most amazing ways. two young girls have accepted Christ at our orphanage, which is a huge praise! :D please pray for them as they begin their walk with Jesus; that they would find Him more all the time. we have been consumed with work for the Lord, :) preparing for youth camp and engaging the community more all the time. i am so looking forward to camp; you'll be sure to have me talk your ear off about that. :) continue to pray for fundraising and prep work with the youth; we have multiple events coming up soon, and that is what much of our time is filled with. the next several weeks are going to be a blur; we have a million things on our schedule. we are taking a holiday next week, Monday to Wednesday, to visit a game park (:D) and relax a bit before everything ramps up. pray for our safety and for good fellowship with my team.
another awesome thing God is doing in our lives is wrapped up in a wonderful new friend of mine: Stacie. :) Stacie is here on a two-year program, after already spending two years in Botswana, Africa after college. she is amazing; and we love her. <3 God is using her as a light here, as well as a coordinator for our program in the entire region. she's a pretty awe-inspiring person. please begin to pray for her now, and continue as time goes on. i know she's going to do great things.
as i said before, God is teaching me and changing me every day. i wish i could just pour out what He is showing me; hopefully, i will be able to in the future. i have never experienced His love and faithfulness the way i am now; i will not come home the same person i was when i left in August. i literally cannot put it into words, i will just have to display it as best i can. :)
to close, i'm adding a few scriptures and a song or two that have spoken to my heart recently. i love you all, and am praying for you with all my heart. keep seeking our King. <3
In You
MercyMe
I put my hope in You.
I lay my life in palm of Your hand.
I'm constantly drawn to You, Lord-
In ways I cannot comprehend.
It's the Creator, calling the created.
The Maker, beckoning the made.
The bride, finding what she's always waited for-
When we find ourselves, that day.
In You- the hungry feast at the table.
the blind frozen, find colors in their view.
the lame will dance, they'll dance for they are able.
and the weary find rest,
oh, the weary find rest, in You.
It's no secret, that we don't belong here.
Those set apart by the grace of You.
And we look for the day, when we go to a place,
Where the old becomes brand new...
In You- the hungry feast at the table.
the blind frozen, find colors in their view.
the lame will dance, they'll dance for they are able.
and the weary find rest,
oh, we will find rest, in You.
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:4-9 (NIV)
But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world. I John 4:4 (NLT)
"Yours is the Kingdom. Yours is the Power. Yours is the Glory. Forever!" Chris Tomlin
We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light. For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins. Colossians 1:11-14
