We've been making progress...
we sent off all the paperwork for our passports
our support letters are written
God has already started to provide financial support
basically....it is starting to get REAL!
If you are a praying person please pray for-
- a surplus of bookbags/school supplies for us to take with us
- for me to be able to stay focused during this semester of school
- financial provision for the trip
- for the children and staff at Gathiga Children's Hope Home
I have been listening to the song "Beauty of the Cross" by Johnny Diaz a lot lately, it's so pretty! I love the lyrics:
Only through the cross that I'm made clean to draw near to you
Saved so that you would receive all glory due Your name
Everlasting God from age to age you never change
A true love story remains for all eternity
That all the world would see
A verse that has really been sticking out to me lately is Psalm 139:23-24,
"Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting. "
God knows what is in our hearts better than we do. He knows our weaknesses and our faults. Sometimes it is scary for me to honestly say "Search me, God, and know my heart." I guess I'm afraid of what he might find.
The Bible says that God cares so much about us that he knows the number of hairs on our heads. Isn't that amazing? God knows all of the good, bad, and just plain dumb things that we have done and he STILL loves us! This week my prayer is going to be to bodly ask God to search my heart and point out the "offenses" that are on my heart that I need to change. Some of them I may not be able to change, but He can.
