May all of you be reminded of His love for you in a special way this week - from Him or those in your life!!!! If you are reading this, you are a part of my life. Know that I am thankful for you and love you as a sister in Christ!
These days I am focusing on my Masters and looking forward to traveling quite a bit as nature comes back to life this Spring. I will be seeing many friends and family, who I have not see for literally years. I'm excited! I have SO enjoyed visiting with many of you in OH and WI already - talking about what is going on in our lives, how God is working, what He's teaching us, praying together. It's been my privilege. Thank you for the time!
I am trying to post the missions updates that I send out regularly to this website, but I will not be putting everything out onto the web. If you would like to receive the full updates through e-mail and you do not currently receive them, please let me know. I'd be happy to add you!
I've been personally thinking A LOT lately about God's will. That we are not puppets, He gives us choice - wisdom - desires, but He also has a plan and purpose for our lives...there's a balance.
I was listening to a song this week from the Continentals, whom I traveled with Summer 2004. This particular song was not from that summer, but it hit on what my heart was thinking/feeling. The lyrics say:
I've made a choice, I want to live my life,
not for myself, but all for Jesus Christ.
I know that we are not puppets, but that is honestly what I want.....to fulfill His purpose for me. To live for Him, His glory. To serve Him. To please Him. To acknowledge Him in all my ways and let Him direct my paths...whatever, wherever that means...that's what I want. I guess that is the choice we make when we become a Christian, but it's not put quite that way. The song is solo up to a point and then the whole choir sings:
We've made a choice, and it's a choice that will stand
When we loose, we have to choose, we choose in life
And together hand in hand, bound in love we'll take a stand
In Jesus Christ, for tonight we've made a choice
I just want to let you know, that if you've also made this choice, I'm standing with you and I'm cheering you on! If I can ever be of help to you - praying for you, etc. - let me know. I'm standing with you and on your team in Christ!
If you have not made that choice, and you want to know more about it, I'd love to talk to you! It's an adventure!
Love and blessings to you as we continue to live for Him and His glory this week!
