It’s been a while since I’ve written on here. It’s not for lack of things going on; it’s more for lack of knowing what’s appropriate to share. There have been a ton of crazy team things to deal with, most of which are not the kind of information I can toss up on a blog. I’ve found little time for myself or even just a quiet place to escape for a moment. God has been comforting me through it all and giving me peace, though. Please continue to lift our team in prayer. One of the three leaders went back to the states Wednesday and Deryck went home Thursday due to some health issues. There is a ton to process, and I often feel like I am in the midst of complete chaos.

The last two days in my quiet time God has revealed to me some key concepts. I read “My Utmost For His Highest” as part of that time, and these two days have been focused on John 4:11– “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water?”
These are the points in the book that really stuck out.

-We think His ideals are lofty and they impress us, but we believe He is not in touch with reality–that what He says cannot actually be done.
-Our misgivings begin within ourselves when we tell Jesus that our circumstances are just a little too difficult for Him.
-Have you been limiting, or impoverishing, the ministry of Jesus to the point that He is unable to work in your life?
-We impoverish and weaken His ministry in us the moment we forget He is almighty.

-The reason some of us are such poor examples of Christianity is that we have failed to recognize that Christ is almighty.
I don’t claim these as my own words, but God has really used Oswald to speak to me.
 

All of this has been a huge encouragement to me to not forget God’s limitless power–even when my circumstances seem out of control. It is never okay for me to give satan the idea that I don’t trust God’s ability to rectify a situation.

This morning in particular Christ was really speaking into me. I was also very encouraged by Ephesians 3: 14-21 What a good reminder that our circumstances will never be to big for my God.
