I’m foregoing my regular Friday updates today.  But before you throw your hands up in the air in frustration, roll back in your desk chair and exclaim extreme disappointment, please hear me out. 

I feel led to share what I’m about to write this morning. 

 

I watched this video this morning.  I think that if anybody was down in the office this morning, that they would have seen the smile beaming on my face and the tears welling up in my eyes (of joy).  The kids in this video are the reason why I do what I do.  I mean, there are a lot of reasons.

But for the boy that couldn’t even smile until our mission team arrived – he’s why I do it.

I’ve been infected with a newness of God’s love lately.  I’m not even sure how to magnify it into words.  I just know that  something’s happened in my heart.  I really want to go play with kids in an orphanage.  Strange, I know, because that’s not normally something that I would ever write on a blog, nor is it something that would ever come out of my mouth.

I think my fear of children has vanished.

This video, though, touched me in an incredible way.  The song Sydnee used was perfect.  I wish I could be with them right now.  But I know that God’s called me to be a megaphone for this season, a siren that awakens the desire in others to touch the world with His love.

I must walk faithfully.

If you’ve already passed over the video – watch it and let me know what you think.  What does God’s love beckon out of you?
