Im goin to dedicate this blog to picking yer minds. Just some quotes and thoughts that have passed through in the past few days.
And if I were to sit in the fields while the storm passes… a day afterwards to ask “where is that terrible storm, with all of its terrible blackness?” I would hear the grass say ” part of it is in me”… and the wildflowers would sing “part of it is in us” and the fruits and daisy would say “awe yes, part of the storm is incandescent in me.” A rich blessing arrives afterward; the think fruitage of the peace and tenderness of a calm sky enhances our lives, but the storm will always pass.
“Yes, the Lord will give what is good and our land will yield its increase.” Psalm 85:12
He longs to reveal His faithfulness, He is calling all of US to have faith so that He can pour out His faithfulness.
Jesus said “if I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe me” John 10:37
“Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart” Ps. 37
“… if i will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.” Malachi 3:10
I do not ask my cross to understand
my way to see
Better in darkness just to feel Thy hand,
and follow Thee
“Hope against hope, He believed” Romans 4:18 talking about Abraham
You will never possess that which you do not pursue
The world says seeing is believing but God wants us to believe in order to see
“Faith is to believe what we do not seem and the reward of this faith is to see what we believe” – Saint Augustine
So we have been praying for our contact to get a sum of money to help build a new basketball court for the neighborhood… as he met with the advisors and government officials they gave the “ok” and money for the construction to take place! thanks to God… i believe God loves basketball.
We were on house arrest (ish) for a few hours the other day…. a cop came and was asking for all sorts of paperwork (that we didnt have but the embassy did) and asking for our passports. Ultimately our translator and contact used peace and love to resolve the issue. Ha, Lord does know we don’t have the money that the cop thought we did. He might have been just lookin for a little extra cash from “the americans”
We are prayin into the next and last half month in Ukraine…. there is a great possibility that my team might be working with a ministry that hosts and puts on softball camps for youth! hahahahahhahaha!!!!!! what an awesome way to end this years journey!
