I’m writing to testify that GOD IS GOOD, today.
TODAY I’m in awe because the journey of standing in wonder at God giving me heart desires still continues.
This summer has been a smorgasbord of heart desires being answered, and HERE is a snippit of just the last WEEK.
HEART DESIRE: UNITE GOD'S PEOPLE today, I was honored to not only have a pastor preach a sermon about God’s work in my life, but also a Priest give a homily about it.
11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
Eph 4:11-13
HEART DESIRE: TO ENCOURAGE BELIEVERS IN Mtown, IOWA and every individual who receives the TR had an opportunity to be encouraged by God’s active work.
…Paul sent for the disciples and, after encouraging them, said goodbye and set out for Macedonia…
Acts 20:1
HEART DESIRE: TO HAVE A WIDE SUPPORT BASE… so that many can be encouraged by God’s beauty in the middle of slavery… It feels like my entire TOWN is behind me. People I’ve never meet, now know a little bit of God’s presence in my life. People who I haven’t ran into for years, are connecting again.
5 This is what God the LORD says—
the Creator of the heavens, who stretches them out,
who spreads out the earth with all that springs from it,
who gives breath to its people,
and life to those who walk on it:
6 “I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness;
I will take hold of your hand.
I will keep you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people
and a light for the Gentiles,
7 to open eyes that are blind,
to free captives from prison
and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.
Isaiah 42:5-7
I get to openly share on here about GOD THINGS, like this!!!
HEART DESIRE: TO EDUCATE AMERICANS ON THE SEX TRADE… and my (albeit small) corner of the world, home for the past 21 years, now knows more then before. (& how to actively live out this verse)
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
James 1:27
HEART DESIRE: TO INVITE OTHERS TO JOIN IN PERSON… and already, so many are showing interest in physically moving to take part in God’s work in Cambodia.
Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.
Matthew 9:38
[PLUS: I’ve always wanted a good picture of me without a smile, and finally I have one, because I believe God even loves doing things THAT SMALL for us]
BAH! I don’t know how to thank Him enough, so please join me in praising Him for amazing, undeserved, LOVE.
