Your Praise Will Ever Be

Here we go. Heartbreaking, soul shaking, and gift bearing.This trip is a bundle of everything good and great that Jesus is orchestrating. This past week has been amongst the most stressful, busy, and exhausting weeks I have ever had. I struggled to finish packing on time, to make sure I had the right medications, and to spend as much quality time with my loved one as possible. I feel weak and anxious and my one hope and dependency is Jesus Christ. I am in the best place I could ever be to start a trip such as this one. My heart is joyful to yet again kiss the sweet faces of Gods African babies again. He is good and he always provides a way for His children to do His work. I am at peace with how underprepared I am, because I am free for the potter to mold me into what he desires me to be, for I am just the clay.

Yet you, Lord, are our Father.

We are the clay, you are the potter;

we are all the work of your hand.

Isaiah 64:8 

The maker has such a beautiful plan for the next 7 weeks of my life, and my teammates lives. We will forever be changed and discover new ways to seek glory for His name. God has placed a song on my heart this week called "Ever Be"by Bethel Music. The song repeats, “ your praise will ever be on my lips” and it is such a great reminder of how deep our worship is meant to be and how our purpose is to bring praise to God. My purpose, my goal, and the one thing I am to chase after on this trip is to bring glory to Christ!

Welcome to the beginning
Love,
