God is Faithful

I've been a follower of Jesus my entire life. I've been in full-time ministry for 27 years. I've seen God do amazing things! I've experienced the beauty of God's timing. I've heard God's voice and followed Him. And still, God has to show me again and again that He is faithful and that I can rest in the knowledge that He is trustworthy!  Yesterday was one of those times.

I was anxious about how the afternoon would go. Working with the teens and young adults in Haiti was not something we had done before. As we planned we really felt that worshiping together should be part of the experience but how do we do that when we don't speak the same language? Tyler and I brought our guitars wondering if this worship thing would work? It not only worked, it was amazing and I can't wait to do it again today! We sang, "Lord, I Lift Your Name on High" because we knew the Haitians knew that one. We could sing it at the same time. It worked. Then we sang "How He Loves"--a song they didn't know. We told them what we were singing about and they listened. Then they sang something we didn't know and it blessed our socks off! We had no idea what they were singing, but we knew the Object of their praise! And there we were caught up in the middle of worship, hands raised, tears filling our eyes, and soaking it all in.

Then, we weren't sure how the teaching in large groups with small group discussions would work. Tyler taught about Daniel and how Daniel believed and trusted in the Lord and how that belief determined what he allowed into his life. Talking about that in small groups opened up great dialogue and questions. Amazing.

Today, our VBS story with the little ones is David and Goliath. I can't wait for the kids to see Steven Cargin in the role of Goliath! They are going to love it! We are making necklaces with them. In the afternoon our bottom line is, "What you believe to be true about Jesus determines how you face challenges."

God is so good!
