Abandoning my Cause

“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.”- Acts 17:24-25

Oh, how I have come to love and desire God’s word! Another scripture that I have been changed by recently is Acts 17:24-25. I look at all the suffering and poverty in the world and think, I will go, I will alleviate the suffering. This is my cause and God will help me to accomplish it.I have it all backwards! God does not need me! If he wanted to end suffering he would, he is all powerful. He simply calls me to be an obedient vessel. His glory is above all else, including my desire to see the needs of the helpless met. This is not my cause, it is Gods and I am simply allowed to partake in it.

Life is Kind of Sweet.

These past few weeks have been a whirlwind of busyness! After graduation, I went to Cincinnati to stay with a friend/NEW RA PARTNER! It was so great to spend time with her before we both went our separate ways for the summer. Then I came down to Sidney to stay with the Hookers for a week, which has been a huge blessing!  I got to see one of my best friends get married this past weekend. It was perfect!  I just flew back to VA yesterday and I’m staying with the AMAZING Grace until I leave on the 31st.  All the while I have been working on an 8 wk INFT class that I am attempting to get done in 2.5 weeks…this has turned out to be quiet a task! I am also working on lessons for Mozambique. 

The puppet ministry at church donated 13 puppets to take with me this summer!  I can’t wait to get over there and see how the kids respond to them.  I have a massive to do list that needs to be accomplished before I leave, but it will get done!

  

These past few months have been such a sweet time of life. It has been hectic and full of uncertainties, but I have experienced the great joy and freedom that is found by living in complete dependence on the Lord.  He is so good and I can’t wait to for him to wreck my world even more!
