A Commitment to Pray

January 7, 2009

Another day of mess cooking down, and I am finding it a very enjoyable task even if no body believes me when I tell them. God supplies me with strength and joy moment by moment. I will rejoice in my King who has sustained me through the past several months of changes and difficulties. It has not been an easy road, but one worth traveling upon because it has drawn me closer to my precious Lord and Savior.

One reason I like mess cooking is because I get to see everybody several times a day, which gives me the opportunity to encourage them and see how they are doing. Last night I was thinking though that I should not just try and encourage everyone who I see and talk to but that I should be praying for them. So that is the challenge I came to work with this morning. I want to share Christ with the people I work with but I cannot do it in my own strength and power. So I am committing to pray for my fellow coasties on the Midgett while I am mess cooking that God would work in their hearts and bring them to himself.

  1. Sounds like a great plan to me. You are doing well Sara. You may enjoy reading the book by Brother Lawrence entitled: The Practice of The Presence of God. He was a monk who worked in a kitchen. His little book tells about how he used his time to enjoy God's presence and minister to others.

Destroying Our Idols

God's Will or Your Own?

THE MISSION

THE MISSION

Written for my family as they move to Cameroon, Africa to share Jesus love with the people there.

Rejoicing in all God has done.
In your lives, I see Him displayed
As your greatest treasure of all;
Your mission: to proclaim His name.

Fix Your eyes on Christ…Run hard to the goal.
Consider the work He has done, He has saved your souls!



Press on, HOPE IN GOD…IN HIS HANDS you are safe. UNDER HIS WINGS…you are held---
you are HELD BY GRACE.
Take up your cross, follow Christ, let His praises resound.
Be BROKEN AND SPILLED OUT
as you journey HOMEWARD BOUND.


Cheering you on as you go
As you make much of Jesus today,
Considering all else as loss
Compared to the Savior’s name.

Fight the battle of faith…stand firm in Christ.
Trust Him with all of your heart, give Him your life.



Press on, HOPE IN GOD…IN HIS HANDS you are safe. UNDER HIS WINGS…you are held---
you are HELD BY GRACE.
Take up your cross, follow Christ, let His praises resound.
Be BROKEN AND SPILLED OUT
as you journey HOMEWARD BOUND.


Praying for you in my heart.
May God’s sustaining grace push you on
To follow Christ outside of the camp,
Calling the nations to join the song!

Jesus is mighty to save
For while yet sinners He died in our place.
Shout---shout His praise For He has given us grace!


Press on, HOPE IN GOD…IN HIS HANDS you are safe. UNDER HIS WINGS…you are held---
you are HELD IN HIS GRIP OF GRACE.
Take up your cross, follow Christ, let His praises resound.
Be BROKEN AND SPILLED OUT
as you journey HOMEWARD BOUND.


Take the Adventure
