Thoughts for Today
December 10, 2009
Today I did some more sewing. God continually fills my heart with joy in knowing Him---Praise His name! I had a fun night last night with some of my friends from church. We had a movie/game night---it was a blast! God has blessed me tremendously---He has made me His child and saved me. Knowing Christ and being hidden in Him is awesome…the greatest blessing and gift ever! He has blessed me with friends at church who encourage me in my faith, friends on the Midgett whom I can share my faith with, family and friends back home who support me in prayer, awesome care packages and letters, coffee at Seattle’s Best, sunny days and cloudy days, food, clothing, and the highlight of my month---going home for Christmas! I serve an awesome God who is great and greatly to be praised. Not just because He gives me such wonderful blessings, but because everything He sends into my life is a blessing---for His glory and my good…even when it hurts. I will count my blessings today and not leave any out---the good and the bad because in the Lord they are all good.
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.
