Jalal-Abad, Kyrgyzstan
August
great is thy faithfulness…
great is thy faithfulness when I ask for small things and they happen.
great is thy faithfulness when the enemy attacks and You don’t leave my side.
great is thy faithfulness when I mess up treasury.
great is thy faithfulness in providing for all that i need.
great is thy faithfulness.
The Lord has been showing me again and again that He is faithful. In crazy simple ways, but also in sweet, funny, and powerful ways.
Like when a teammate was feeling anxious for the first time, so I asked God to make them have a bowel movement to get rid of the anxiety. And then they did. And the anxiety was gone.
Or when the enemy attacks late at night, telling me I’m not enough, and the Lord shuts him down by making me fall asleep.
Or when I speak in front of a Kyrgyz church and I know my team won’t let me fall, that’s when I see His faithfulness.
Or when anxiety attacks come without reason, and all I can think is, “thank you, Lord, for your love.”
Or when Kelsey and I have lice for the second time, and He lets us spend more time together just laughing and singing Christmas songs in August.
Or when He lets me sit in His presence and just be. No expectations, no words needed. Just be.
You know, I don’t understand why He loves me so much, but I’m so thankful that He does. He’s definitely taking me to the end of myself at times to show me that He is what I need; really all I need.
