Joy in Service

Well I tried to blog yesterday, but I lost everything I had typed out. I didn't know really what to say yesterday just because I had so many random things going through my head. I had trouble putting it into words. Today however, I realized why I'm glad I didn't get the opportunity to update the blog. It's funny how God works that way. Today was a very special day for me. We traveled about an hour and a half to a church. There were probably 100 or so people in there. We sang songs with them and told the story of Creation. They received little coloring books and crayons. I had the opportunity to share what it meant to be born again and Pastor Paul shared a story. By the grace of God five children accepted the Lord into their lives today. 

At the school today, there was a boy who was special needs. He was unable to speak or walk and he was constantly drooling. He was also constantly smiling. His smile was the most precious thing. His mother kept telling me that he was hungry which was evident in his size. Before we left, The Lord laid a verse on my heart to share with her and her son. Romans 15:13 was me memory verse the other day and I know exactly why. It says, "May the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust Him, so tht you may overflow with hope through the power of the Holy Spirit." I gave him the only good I had ( airplane pretzels) and walked away full of His peace and joy.

Yesterday was also a very special day. We traveled about an hour up the mountain and then hiked the rest o the way to a small church. We basically did the same thing as we did today. Two children accepted Christ! It was an adventure getting to and from the church but it was worth it. We got to worship and serve God with an amazing back drop of His creation.
This was one of the two children that accepted Christ.



All I've got to say is that it is an absolute privlege to serve such an awesome God. Wow, I love our God!!
