Pack your bags

Time for you all to pack your bags (or at least prepare for your hearts for the journey we are all about to begin) because we leave for the Dominican on August 15!  A mere 20 days away.  Through all of your prayers, support and love, you have helped us reach this place.  Each of you are a blessing in our life, and I hope you all know your part in the past year and the upcoming 12-18 months. 

We are all the hands and feet of Christ, and although J, Aubrey and I will be on the front lines, each of you are standing with us in prayer and spirit throughout every hour of every day.  1 Corinthians 12:27, "Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it."


I pray you all continue to be the hands of feet of Christ back here in the States. 

Christ has no hands but our hands to do His work today
He has no feet but our feet to lead men in the way
He has no tongue but our tongue to tell men how He died
He has no help but our help to bring them to His side.
We are the only Bible the careless world will read,
We are the sinner’s gospel; we are the scoffer’s creed;
We are the Lord’s last message, given in word and deed;
What if the type is crooked? What if the print is blurred?
What if our hands are busy with other work than His?
What if our feet are walking where sin’s allurement is?
What if our tongue is speaking of things His lips would spurn?
How can we hope to help Him or welcome His return?

You are Wanted!

Someone I love and care for very dearly is going through a rough time right now.  Although I cannot understand everything they are feeling or being attacked with, I pray they will soon be delivered of this trial.  There is a song I recently heard that made me think of them and this time in their life.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C-povr7b6k 
So, Daughter of Christ, remember you are loved beyond words and beyond measure!  Take this truth and allow the sensation to reach every part of your soul.  Swim in the love from Christ, breathe the air of forgiveness, and focus on your Daddy God, for with Him nothing is too big.  Truly seek out His guidance along your path.  I will be praying throughout your journey.  With much love!  (and remember, YOU ARE WANTED!)
