Romans 8:37-39

"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

(Romans 8:37-39)

Soaking it all in....

So I just got a chance to sit down at the computer and read over everyone's blogs and I am just in aww.. I mean really what is there to say, that has not already been said before? Words are definitely not enough to explain the move of God on people's lives.

I can't help but get frustrated sometimes because there is not enough time! I have such an urgency to the things God has called me to do but at the same time I want to spend time with my loved ones and soak up all the things God is doing in my life. There is never enough time, but I can't spend the time I do have worried about not having enough time. I just hope and pray I am able to do everything in God's timing and not my own. I try to rush things of the future, but at the same time want to remember every moment. I can not do both.

India was amazing! But I can't help but think I could have done a little bit more. I don't know what or even if I was suppose to do more. I just always wonder coming back from things like that if I truly gave my all. I believe there is always at least a little bit more that we can give of ourselves. That is why it is hard to do short term mission trips for me. I always feel there is still more to be done, more people to see, touch, heal, feed, and save. There is always more. But it is still all about God's timing, because it is not me they need to see, or me that needs to touch them, heal them, feed them, or save them. It is God himself and if I go in my timing it will not be Him, it will be me. And there will be no glory found that.

Whew - I don't know what else to say. I feel like I just read my journal on your blog. God is working in all of us now, probably more than He did on the trips.

I feel like my heart is spread out between 3 different countries and I just wish I could get all the pieces back and feel whole again.

But you are right about the timing thing. It has to be God. It has to be His. When we put our hands in He has no choice but to take His hand out.

Just stay close to Him. Read John 15. I feel like I can't get enough right now. I am hungrier. I am thirstier. And I am finding comfort in His Word.
