saturday, July 28 – 17:11 – Alabanza
…I just have been thinking about being home in the states too much. like it’s gonna be so
much different when I get back. Life itself won’t be different…but God Almighty I pray
that
I will remain different in everything I do!!! That I will just remember what I have
learned on this trip, and that I won’t get sucked back into the same boring life I had
before I left. I wanna keep the trust and confidence I have gained. I think that’s the
biggest thing I wanna keep…the confidence I have learned. And that I will not forget that
I am called to Japan.
some worship time at Alabanza
Lord, help me to retain the things I have learned, and the way I have grown on this trip.
Help me not to forget or overlook any of it now, or when I get home especially. Lord, I
don’t want to get sucked back into a life that I’m not called to.
Lord, I pray that you will continue to stretch me these last few months. Stretch me! Lord,
I know there is more I need to learn in the next few months. Help me Lord, to get
everything I can outta these last months…help me not to wuss out…or shy away in any
fashion, but to re-dive into the ministry that you want us/me in. Continue to use me Lord!
And Lord, I pray that ‘it’ won’t end after the next few months.
Ha, you just stretched me already. the two little kids here, ran over and started writing
on my hoodie w/ chalk. At first I was like, ‘no! don’t write one me!’ then I just let them
do it, and helped them spell my name even. Cuz I mean seriously, what is a little chalk on
my shirt gonna do? And I feel good right now, and am smiling, cuz I just allowed you to
stretch me Lord.
Talk about answered prayer quickly. 🙂 You’re funny daddy.
I just thought about the no-hope tent back in Georgia…And how I was so fired up, and
pissed off and ALIVE after that. And I just thought about how ministry to teens in Japan,
w/ all the depression and suicidal thoughts that are there (or so I’ve heard)…could be a lot like the
no-hope tent. I could feel alive and fired up doing YL there or something w/ teens. And
I need to not forget or lose sight of that.
