This week has been pretty good. Office stuff-hung out individually with a few wonderful ladies from C!C; said my first good-bye. J went to Atlanta with Zach for the weekend to preach at Eagles Landing and had some MEGA important stuff stolen-that sucked obviously. Right now it's Carrie and I and the circus crew-you can imagine the craziness in the household during the day and the peace that occurs when they all fall asleep.
I went to the park on Tuesday and honestly Satan was totally attacking me giving me the thoughts to make me anxious, and not want to go and question myself-. So I walk up and turns out there was this random camp gong on where kids were running around. So the Lord took captive every thought I was experiencing and let me have His strength to go up and talk to these kids. I ended up staying a few hours with all of them; painting faces, eating lunch, and just socializing. It was a beautiful picture of Christ interceding on my behalf.
My 'bus' time has been the most intentional time of prayer ever. Each time I bus (which is a few times a day) I take out my journal and write a page of how my day is and just praise and talk to the Lord-it has been revolutionizing and I hope to be able to implement that philosophy back in USA.
One afternoon Caleb and Lilly were in my room and so I pulled out my computer again to take some more pics and they went CRAZY-we had SO much fun and I am so thankful to have them!
Lilly and I have a thing with dandelions-presh.
Caleb and I were pointing at Lilly becasue it was her birthday-TWO :)
My heart has gone missing; it's in the depths of these children.
Everything is about to begin counting down here. Last time with the kids in church, last !group, last meeting with Amy, last dance party; you get the picture. So I need prayer for perseverence; I yearn to BE here until August 6 at 730, and then I will need to BE in Mississippi August 6 at 12. So pray that the Lord will keep my heart here til then and then move it-that is going to be the hard part for sure. But being up here the Lord has done some pretty awesome stuff within my heart so I know He can do it and He will provide. But prayers for my last week to not be a waste but the final outpouring of my soul and for it to be filled properly.
My 'soul spill' of this place will come next blog-if I do it now then the reality that I have to leave MIGHT hit-and I am not ready for that ;)
Praying for you!!
ReplyDeleteI love the 'bus time' thing. I would do that on the tube and the bus a lot too. Miss that aspect, but there are other ways to implement it. :)
