I love your presence.
raw worship. so gooooood.
When my hope is gone, when the fear is strong
When the pain is real, when it’s hard to heal
When my faith is shaken and my heart is broken and my joy is stolen,
God I know that
You lift me up, You’ll never leave me searching,
Find You in the place I’m in, find You when I’m at my end,
Find You when there’s nothing left of me to offer You except for brokenness.
You lift me up, You’ll never leave me thirsty,
When I am weak, when I am lost and searching
I’ll find You on my knees.
Spending time with the father this afternoon reminded me of a letter a close friend wrote me a while back.
“He is life, he is the gentle whisper in your ear when you are hurting. He is the one whose very presence makes walls crumble.”
It was a good reminder. Only Jesus can break my walls. Only he can.
HELP!!! MISSION SUPPPPORT!
FAMILY & FRIENDSSSSS :)
This is actually my first time doing a facebook event on Missssionsssss. soooooooo. YEs let’s get to it.
I’ll be going to two missions this year.. which means… I neeed a lot of PRAYERRRRR and support!! :)
God has given me an opportunity to go to two missions this summer with 4 Christ Missions. One is Medical Missions; we’ll be going to Bolivia, Argentina and Brazil with a team of about 50 people. We will be part of a medical team who will be providing free of charge services. We will also be doing VBS (Vacation Bible Study), skits, testimonies and body worship to represent the gospel. Second is El Porvenir; we will be sharing the gospel through education.
Last summer, I had the privilege to be part of El Porvenir, a program where we shared the gospel through education. There were 40 of us serving, ministering and loving on the kids. Not only was I challenged in the way I would communicate to these students, but also in questioning if I really needed everything I had back at home. These students live in a small village in San Quitin called San Telmo. Knowing that water is limited in this village, the kids still lived day to day. God used this to help me start questioning if I really needed the excess back at home and if I’d be okay without it all. I think it’s a difficult question for many of us to answer and often times we refuse to even think about it. But I believe that one of the crucial reasons why God calls many of his people to go missions is to get us to the point where we are faced with the reality of who He is and to believe that He truly can satisfy all our needs.
Being part of the two missions this year, I am excited for what God has in store not only for me but everyone else that will we on the team and also those that God has prepared in advance to reach. I want to continually learn and be molded by Him everyday as He opens doors for me to serve, teach and love. I ask you to join me in this. Although a lot of prayer support is needed, I will also need help financially. The total costs for Medical Missions and El Porvenir is $3,980(including airfare). It would be greatly appreciated if you could take part in supporting me prayerfully and financially. If you feel led to support financially- 3 options

God’s Power in your Weakness
by Rick WarrenOur weaknesses increase our capacity for sympathy and ministry. We are far more likely to be compassionate and considerate of the weaknesses of others. God wants you to have a Christlike ministry on earth. That means other people are going to find healing in your wounds. Your greatest life messages and your most effective ministry will come out of your deepest hurts. The things your most embarrassed about, most ashamed of, and most reluctant to share are the very tools God can use most powerfully to heal others.
The great missionary Hudson Taylor said, “All God’s giants were weak people.” Moses’ weakness was his temper. It caused him to murder an Eqyptian, strike the rock he was supposed to speak to, and break the tablets of the Ten Commandments. Yet God transformed Moses into “the humblest man on earth.”
Gideon’s weakness was low self esteem and deep insecurities, but God transformed him into a “mighty man of valor.” Abraham’s weakness was fear. Not once, but twice, he claimed his wife was his sister to protect him. But God transformed Abraham into the “father of those who have faith.” Impulsive, weak willed Peter, became “a rock,” the adulterer David became “a man after my own heart”, and John, one of the arrogant “Sons of Thunder,” became the “Apostle of Love.”
my favorite song as of right now.
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior
Even a beautiful God-scripted love story can never satisfy the way Jesus does. Even the most heroic and Christlike man on earth can never fulfill the longings of our heart like the true Prince and lover of our soul (Jesus Christ). And until we are able to truly make Him our first love, until we are willing to give up our dream of an earthly love story for His sake, we will never know the fullness of Him who fills us all in all. We will always be looking to a mere man to meet the desires of our heart, rather than to the One who created us, who knows us better than we know ourselves, and who gave His very life’s blood to rescue us. - Leslie Ludy
I’m always so amazed by God’s beauty. Forget how beautiful he is.
A King… who was sitting on his throne.. came down to become human. Went through sufferings, temptation… was hated. JUST to show us His love. Bearing all our sins on the cross. So He can make a way for us.
Romans 5:8. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
On the CROSS. Jesus said, “Forgive them for they do not what they are doing.” Who says that? a Humble King. TRUE KING. the LORD OF LORD. JESUS. He is Jesus. Worthy of all our worship and praise.
thank you.. no other KING would die for His people. no other KING would come down from his throne and go through what You did for everyone- even those who hated you. You still forgave and loved.
So I’ll take this moment to seek You,
I’ll take a lifetime to love you
And if it takes eternity to know You,
I know your worth it, I know your worth it,
I know your worth it all
We’re breaking through, we’re breaking in tonight
to another place, to another level.
What was lost is not
lost forever
What was stolen from you
He restores, completely
I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. - John 16:33.
verse came to mind this morning before going to work.
Everything that’s been going on, he reminds me to take heart for He has overcome the world. I will overcome. It’s an everyday battle. The mind and the heart.
Take these hands
I know they’re empty
But with You they can
Be used for beauty
In Your perfect plan
All I am is Yours
Take these feet
I know they stumble
But You use the weak
You use the humble
So please use me
All I am is Yours
I give You all my life
I’m letting it go
A living sacrifice
No longer my own
All I am is Yours
All I am is Yours
Take this heart
Set it on fire
Shining in the dark
I wanna tell the world of who You are
All I am is Yours
I give You all my life
I’m letting it go
A living sacrifice
No longer my own
All I am is Yours
All I am is Yours
I give You everything
To You I belong
Every beat of my heart
The breath in my lungs
All I am is Yours
All I am is Yours
I lift my hands up
God I surrender
All that I am for Your glory, Your honor, Your fame
