Giving EVERYTHING to glorify God!This week we had the privilege of experiencing life surrounded by 117 Vida Mission participants, 8 family members on a work team, add on 18 Vida220 students, about 15 staff and one dog ... totaling approximately 160 mouths to feed! We were challenged to give everything to glorify God! Our days were long, rewarding, challenging, stressful, blessed and our nights were short and sweet!
It is currently 12:26 am, we're leaving in the morning for 4 days of outreach and this crazy organized Mama hasn't packed anything yet ...
James 1:2-5 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
God I need you ... My heart is YOURS ... Strength will rise as I wait on You!
