Precious Creation...

I was almost moved to tears while at work today. I was working...playing...in the game room with the school-aged kids and out of nowhere, I heard the sweet sound of children lifting up praises to our mighty God. As I played a board game, I head about 5 little girls, most of which are unchurched, burst into singing. There songs of choice were "Standing on the Promises of God" and "This Little Light of Mine." And in that moment, God used the sweet sound of praise to His name, to teach my heart!

As you know, I have been struggling with remaining joyful at work and trusting God to be all that I need, all the while, trying to prepare my heart to head to New York TOMORROW. (YAY!) As I listened to the words of those two songs, I really felt as though God was just using it as one last moment of preparation. I mean, as I get ready to head to one of the darkest places on the planet, it is so important that my light be as bright as it can and that I unashamedly let it shine for His glory while I am there. Also, I felt the Holy Spirit encouraging me to continue trusting God's word and stand on His promises. For, if I stand on the word of God, nothing can shake me!

Oh how I love to see God use His precious creation as teaching tools. What a mighty God we serve! God is sooo good! :) (ps...leaving for NY in 13.5 hours!)

"You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill

cannot be hidden. Let your light shine before

others, so that they may see your good works and

give glory to your Father who is in heaven."

Matthew 5:14 & 16
