Song and Pictures

"Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You
Have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am for Your Kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity"
- Hosanna by Christy Nockels


Phi Phi Island, Thailand after the tsunami - This island received no aid from unicef or red cross due to gov't issues.

Let that be the cry of my heart, God!


"You're the God of this city
Y
ou're the King of these people
You're the Lord of this nation
You Are

Bridge:
For there is no one like our God

There is no one like our God

Chorus 1:
Greater things have yet to come
Great things are still to be done
In this city
Greater things are still to come
And greater things are still to be done here" - God of This City by Chris Tomlin


The two Thai girls on each side of me were impacted by the gospel - one through a tract & the other through a street evangelist.

This particular song gets me doubly, because not only do I have hope for DFW but I heard this song was originally written for Thailand... and for those of you who know me, you know I love those people in that place. I pray God will be gracious and send me back for a visit one day.


God, thank You for creating me just the way I am with a desire to fix everything. Thank You for showing me Your glory (John 3:30) and Your grace in the fact that I can't fix everything. Lord, thank You for reminding me daily of Your compassion for people (Matthew 9:36). Thank you that Your Word does not return empty (Isaiah 55:11). Thank You that when I wonder how to take on and minister in all the areas and to all the people You've called me to that I can have joy and peace in knowing that You carry the the yoke and offer me freedom to follow after You. Your mercies really are new every morning. There really is no other God like You - the God of compassion, grace, and love.


Random knowledge from my old job at a ministry:
Did you know that one international tract can pass through 12 hands! Imagine sending 1,000 tracts overseas. 12,000 people could be exposed to the gospel message! Want to take part in sending some overseas or need any for an upcoming mission trip? Let me know!
