Wow! We have been busy! The last few months have been crazy but awesome! Our trip to Mexico was life-changing! Every student that was involved came back with a different idea of how much we have been blessed by God! The children of God that were living at the dump taught us what it means to be joyful-to be thankful even in extreme poverty. The faces of some of the kids that I had the opportunity to meet will live in my mind for the rest of my life! It was amazing to be able to help them even with just some of their needs! We can't wait for the next opportunity to go back! Since then we have also had some amazing opportunities to fellowship as we grow closer to the Father!
A word from the Word:
"Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." Psalm 139:23-24
As we go through life, with all the busy-ness it's hard to remember to look at our lives and see if we are truly living for God as He desires us to. This verse a plea to God. It asks God to question the motives behind our actions. It asks Him to guide us. It asks Him to direct our paths down this crazy highway of life. It takes courage to pray this, it means you have to be willing to see the answers. I challenge you, as I challenge myself, to open up your heart for God to have full control. If you're ready for the challenge, make this verse your plea to God-and be willing to see the truth and make any changes you need to. The only way to be free is to let go and let God have control! It will change your life!
