You Keep Me Guessing

Coffee cup waking me up
I gotta board a plane
And fly away
sometimes it feels like I’m
going at the speed of light

Can’t relax I’m movin to fast
I wanna find the gold
But I don’t have a map
I wish that I could know
What you’ve got in store for me

I try and try to read your mind
But I forget that patience is a virtue
Your teachin me to hold on tight

And I don’t know how the story ends
But I'll be alright cause you own it
I don’t know where the highway bends
But I’m doing just fine
Cause your in control
Even when I don’t know
Where my life’s gonna go
You’re keeping my guessing

Slow me down, show me around
I wanna see the world that I’ve been without
I am here and now the future is out of my hands
I trust in you and how you move
I won’t forget that patience is a virtue
You’re teaching me to hang on tight

Cause I don’t know how the story ends
But I’ll be alright cause you own it
And I don’t know where the highway bends
But I’m doin just fine
Cause your in control
Even when I don’t know
Where my life’s gonna go
You’re keeping me guessing

Seasons come and seasons go
But you decide

And I don’t know how the story ends
But ill be alright cause you own it
I don’t know where the highway bends
But I’m doing just fine

You’re in control
Even when I don’t know
Where my life’s gonna go
You’re keeping me guessing

You’re keeping me guessing

I feel like that song pretty much sums up the past few months of my life. God is so faithful. I am surrounded by His love and comfort and grace at all times. I am in awe of how just how great He is. I don't feel as if words are enough to describe the love and patience of my God. Sometimes I look in the mirror and wonder why He has kept me around for so long. I mess stuff up all the time and make things more difficult that they have to be and I overestimate myself and underestimate God's power but He still loves me and He even likes me too! It is hard to stay discouraged for long with a God like mine of your side.

Things in Hong Kong are going really well. On Feb 14th I'll be heading to Manila, Philippines to help feed 5000 people! The group consists of 11 people, male and female, youth and adults. I am really looking forward to this trip and don't think that it could come at a better time. Here in Hong Kong the 14th begins Chinese New Year which is a HUGE deal. For us westerners the 14th is a day all about love. That day of love will kick off a week of us getting to be the hands and feet of Christ, sharing His great love with the impoverished people of Manila. I can't think of a better way to spend a valentines day.

For those of you who are and have been praying for me, THANK YOU! I am feeling those prayers. I am encouraged by the stories mom tells me about those of you who ask about me and share your sweet words of encouragement with her. I am so blessed to have such a supportive family, church, and community of friends, I thank my God for you.
