Mess Cooking

January 6, 2009

I started mess cooking today! All of us new deckies have to take a turn helping in the kitchen (washing dishes, wiping down tables, sweeping the floor, etc.) for a month. I enjoyed my first day of mess cooking and reminded me of the days I used to work at McDonald’s and Dairy Queen. Tomorrow is my “duty mess cook” day, which means I have to be up and ready to work at 5 a.m. So I’ll have an early morning tomorrow! Fun stuff(-:

As I think about the work I do here on the Midgett, I realize that it does not matter one bit what job I am doing, but who I am doing it for that determines what kind of day I am going to have. I am a child of God and so everything I do should be done for His glory. Whether I am painting or doing dishes, I should be having the time of my life not because the tasks are amazing in themselves, but because I am working for the King of kings and Lord of lords. He is the One who fills my heart with joy and gladness while I am working.

This is something all Christians should keep in mind. Whatever we are doing, we should be working unto the Lord and not man---whether we are working, playing, completing homework---EVERYTHING we do should be done for the Lord. The darkest day turns brilliant and the ugliest task turns beautiful when I am doing it for the Lord and His glory. He gives me a smile and puts a song in my heart.

Press on with this in mind today and do all that you do unto the Lord.

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
