Your Love Is AMAZING

I'm not really sure how to start this post. My mind is full of so many different things and my emotions change with the second hand of my watch. So many things are changing and while my life seems to be in fast forward I feel like I'm moving in slow motion. The ground I am standing on is shaking but my foundation is upon the Rock. God is revealing more of himself to me and I am so thankful to be called His child. I am overwhelmed my the out pouring of love, support, kindness, compassion and generosity shown to me by my family and friends. Through the trials I get to praise God in the storm and find joy in the simple things. These hard times are litmus test for my life, like a magnifying glass for all the hidden sins and crutches I cover with busyness.

I went back to the Philippines over Chinese New Year and was able to be a part of a group that fed 5000 people. We went home to home in an impoverished community giving physical nourishment as well as spiritual. We shared the gospel with thousands of people, seeing many of them accept Christ for the first time and a few of them open their hardened hearts to Him again. When I try to put into words what this trip meant to me and how I grew because of it, words fail. All I know to say is that it was a 'God thing'. God "showed up and showed out". He answered YES to so many of our prayers and filled us with boldness, compassion, and love. What a mighty God we serve.

With the wind and waves rage around me I find comfort in the Lord. My circumstances do not determine my joy, my hope in the Lord does. "All of my life, in every season, You are still God, I have a reason to sing, I have a reason to worship. I will bring praise, I will bring praise, no weapon formed against me shall remain. I will rejoice I will declare God is my victory and He is here."
