Five Kids and a Credit Card

(Auntie Becca, that title is for you(-: )

My life has changed allot this year, especially the last month.
I am traveling with His Little Feet again this year.
With a totally new choir and a new staff member (my "little" brother Jake(-: ) as well as our wonderful new Tour Leaders Jeff and Becca, many things are different.
It has been a time of adjustment, pressing, growing, loving, prayer, repentance, seeing my lack and God's faithfulness.

I can remember one day in particular where I was just so tired and feeling so emotional and stressed and I thought "why am I like this? What is going on with me?"
As I look back I know that it was not God's fault, it was mine.

I once heard a story about an old couple who were riding in their truck, the man driving the women in the passenger seat. They came to a stop light and the women looked out the passenger window at a young couple in the truck next to theirs. The young women was all snuggled up close to the young guy with her arm through his as he drove.
The old women said to her husband "remember when we were like that?"
He answered "I haven't moved"

That is sort of the realization that I had this week...God hasn't moved. He's still being just as faithful as He ever has been. If I'm not feeling close to Him it's not His fault...it's mine.
So this week has been a week of refocusing my eyes on the One Whom I love and Who loves me.

He is ever faithful and good!

How Deep the Father's Love for Us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss,
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One,
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice,
Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that left Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
(REPEAT)


Thank You Father, for Your love!

God is Good...

Tonight I said "I love you" to a little Ethiopian boy in his native tongue after telling him good night.

It is wonderful to love...and to be loved.



Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 1Jn_4:8

So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 1Jn_4:16
