“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:28-31 (Cris’ verse of the day)
As I was drifting off to sleep last night listening to my MP3 player, you played the perfect song that expressed my heart and my frustrations with some of the team member. I was “I will follow you” and here are some of the the words to that song:
“May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart, bless your name, bless your name, Jesus. And the deeds of the day and the truth in my way, speak of you, speak of you, Jesus. For this is what I’m glad to do, it’s time to live a life of love that pleases you. And I will give my all to you, surrender everything I have and follow you, I’ll follow you.”
I pray that these would be the prayer of everyone on this team as we head back to Bellingham, that we would not settle for anything less than giving you our all. All For Jesus!
We are heading to Pana Jachel today to stay at a Lakeside resort, I’m so excited for some down time- but yet sad that we are done with our ministry on this trip.
Lord, I’m sitting her at this beautiful resort in Pana Jachel, Guatemala looking up into the open skies overlooking a lake surrounded by breathtaking mountains. Thinking about what will happen when I go home. It excites me and yet it scares me to death! I’m excited to see what you’ll do through the youth and as a team. But I’m scared cause I have no idea how I fit into the picture. I’m a bit confused as to how my dance team is to proceed and what my involvment should be at Doxa. I want to be involved I just don’t know with what group, ya know? I’m just clinging to the verse, “Faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see.” Hebrews 1:11 Lord, help me rest in this fact- I may not know what’s in store for me yet, but I know that you are faithful and you will provide the vision and the way. I trust in this promise, Lord. I trust in you, Lord, you are all knowing and you have the perfect plan and purpose for me this year. I will just continue to take each day walking in obedience as you call me. In the meantime- I will praise you! I will praise you for being who you are and for loving me for who I am. I don’t need to know the plan to know that you do have the perfect plan. You are good and you are faithful, you will provide the best opportunity for me to serve you the way you have created me. I thank you in advance for what you will do. I love you, Lord! Amen.
