-Hillsong United (King Of All Days)
Everyday, I wake up and spend time with the Lord in worship, in His Word and listening to His voice. I eat breakfast. Worship with my squad. Go to my ministry site in Patzibal. Serve the Lord. See Him move. Fall in love with His people. Come home. Eat dinner. Worship with my squad. Hang out with my team. Spend time with the Lord. Go to bed.
What a life, huh? Is this real?
It is incredible. I am surrounded by a community of grace and love. A community of others, radically seeking God's best for them. I couldn't have asked for anything better.
Yes. It is incredible. But it still isn't easy. Actually, I would venture to say that I have never been this challenged in my life.
I am surrounded by a 60+ others who have also left everything they know. Many of us have literally abandoned everything for this trip. And the brokenness of abandonment is evident and real.
All we have to cling to is Christ.
We are seeking to bring the things of the darkness into the light. And that is uncomfortable.
We are discussing how the things of the world have failed us, and will continue to fail us.
But, we are discussing that God is STILL all we need. Despite the failure from ourselves, from others and this world. Despite the darkness that this world is entangled in, God is ALL we need.
He has saved our souls and we are found in His arms.
God is teaching me that He is all I need. This past year has been full of loss and grief — and now He is rebuilding me to seek Him above all else.
He reminds me, He is all I need.
It is during ministry in the indigenous Mayan village of Patzibal where poverty and brokenness is rampant, that He is all I need.
It is seeing a three-year old Guatemalan boy who never smiles that reminds me, that He is all I need.
It is sleeping in a tent in a massive rain storm in a foreign country when He reminds that it is He that is all I need.
I am found in His arms of love. It is His love that has saved me soul. It is in His light that I am free.
Still, He is all I need.
