You Said . . .

"You said
ask and you will receive
whatever you need.

You said
pray and I'll hear from Heaven
and I'll hear your land.

You said
Your glory will fill the earth
like water the seas.

You said
lift up your eyes!
The harvest is here!
The Kingdom is near!

You said
ask and I'll give the nations to you!

Oh Lord, that's the cry of my heart!
Distant shores and the islands will see
Your life as it rises on Earth!"

I'll be posting things regarding my mission trip on this blog rather than on myspace. My mission trip to Hattiesburg, Mississippi is July 31-Aug. 5. Please pray for my preparation in every aspect - spiritual, emotional, physical. Please pray that the rest of the funds will come - already $310 of the needed $840 has come in, and I have not sent out a single fund-raising letter, though I do have one typed up and ready to mail. Please pray for the apprehensions I have about leaving my family. Please pray that others will come to know Christ through this work. I don't know anyone else on the team, but I ask prayer for unity among us - we will be of all backgrounds and denominations and will be working to fulfill one purpose, that of service for Christ as He works through us. May God's hand be upon us for safety and peace and all things as He desires them. This will be a challenging and amazing week, and I'm looking forward to how I will be stretched and how I will learn and grow at the feet of my Master.

"Oh, Lord, that's the cry of my heart!"
