Shadows

Comforted by His Cross and this song tonight.

Life is full of light and shadow
O the joy and O the sorrow
O the sorrow

And yet will He bring
Dark to light
And yet will He bring
Day from night

When shadows fall on us
We will not fear
We will remember

When darkness falls on us
We will not fear
We will remember

When all seems lost
When we're thrown and we're tossed
We remember the cost
We rest in the
Shadow of the cross

--David Crowder

Invitation

I got to share today with some guys about Jesus' invitation for our lives. It was exciting to talk with them about the first disciples being invited to walk with Jesus the Rabbi(Teacher). And what a incredible opportunity it was for them to learn from Him and become like Him. It was even more exciting to share with them that today Jesus is inviting us to do the same thing. He is inviting each of us to follow Him as the Teacher. That we would learn from Him and become like Him.

I'm so thankful that He invited me.

Here i Am!

My prayer tonight is "Lord, here i am - send me!"

This year my responsibilities are a little different than they were for the internship last year. My goal this year is to capture the Ray of Light Project here that Childrens Relief has established. We want to be able to promote and share what God is doing here through the project and how others can be involved! I have been fighting with my self centeredness in terms of how i had envisioned my summer compared to what God has called me to do for Him while i am here. I had envisioned walks through the villages with close translators. Working hard to help with Green Door building. I had envisioned...well, basically what i did last year and i had envisioned being able to take each of those things to the next level. However, in front of me is an enormous opportunity to be able to share with others through video what's happening here in Dondo! and so tonight i am, "making a fist and letting go" of whatever i had thought this summer would be! I am saying - Lord here i am, do with me as You want and use me however You want! I am so excited to be a part of what He wants to accomplish this summer! I'm excited to have a kind of special project to call my own. So tonight i'm letting go of all my apprehension. i'm letting go of all the feelings of being overwhelmed. tonight i'm letting go of the fear of failure.

Tonight i'm saying, "Lord, use me!"
