My weekend was definitely a whirlwind of fun! God has truly blessed me in ways I never would have imagined. I love the song, “Blessed Be Your Name” (which I got to sing in church today!), especially how it talks about Christians taking every blessing God has given them and turning them back to praise to Him…always keeping in mind that everything God brings into our lives is a blessing---whether we like it or not.
Saturday I slept in till 7am and then headed out to explore Seattle. I made my way by foot and bus to Tully’s Coffee and ordered a large hot cocoa…yum! So I drank my cocoa, checked my e-mail, and did some reading. Next I was off to the library, and let me tell you it is a huge library! Just huge!!! I definitely had an amazing time at the library.
One thing I have come to appreciate more and more is the body of Christ. How wonderful it is to fellowship with fellow Believers! I got to go to a young adult Christian fellowship Saturday evening and then to church Sunday morning. I was encouraged, refreshed, and recharged as I sat in church worshiping the Lord and learning from His Word. I am thoroughly enjoying the church I have attended the past two weeks---Faith Bible Church. They have welcomed me with open arms and made me feel right at home. A dear, sweet older couple---Helen and Jack---invited me over to their home for lunch today. I had an awesome time fellowshipping with them and enjoying their company.
God has definitely blessed me…blessed me with homesickness, new friends, loneliness, a new church family, and new opportunities to grow closer to the Lord. I am blessed beyond all measure!
Lord, blessed be Your name! Your grace and loving-kindness are amazing…Your mercy and love is awesome! I thank you for your blessings---all of them.

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.
