Let me share quickly...

I'm missing my [baby] brother right now.
Oh how he could be of great use here!!

           Woo-Hoo!! I finished what I needed to do like 30 minutes before I go for another night of ministry. This week has been crazy and it won't stop. But I love it! This has been challenging and a test, but God is carrying me through day by day, moment by moment. And I am thankful. More on that later...

Psalm 150

1 Praise the LORD!

Praise God in His sanctuary;

Praise Him in His mighty firmament!

2 Praise Him for His mighty acts;

Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!

3 Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet;

Praise Him with the lute and harp!

4 Praise Him with the timbrel and dance;

Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!

5 Praise Him with loud cymbals;

Praise Him with clashing cymbals!

6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.

Praise the LORD!

"Where feet may fail"

        This song is one that I've been listening to a lot this past week or two. It's really an encouragement to me as I strive to draw close to the Lord. My feet fail when I walk out onto the waters but our Lord is there. In the deep water is where my faith is tested. When waves crash and roll, I call look to Him and He is mine if I only call upon His name. 

        The long and most repetitive part of the song is a call, a prayer to let the Holy Spirit lead into places with no borders and wherever He calls. My faith is made stronger only in the presence of my Savior, Jesus Christ. 

        So...I ought to keep my eyes above the waves because He is there. I can call on His name. I can rest in His embrace. After all, it is the most secure place to be. 

For now I've been called to this place where I can serve, learn,
and trust the Lord in all that I do. 

My feet may fail, I may be gasping for breathe at times, but I know He is near, waiting for me to come back to Him. It's not Him that's moved, but me. 

Psalm 121

        The Lord is good, faithful, enduring, loving, caring, comforting, patient, full of grace. There is no need for anxiety, discomfort, pain when I know that the Lord is here by my side. Just as He has protected in the past, so He will continue to do in the future.

PSALM 121

working on curtains in the Gold Room of the castle for the studio

1 I will lift up my eyes to the mountains;
   From where shall my help come?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
   Who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not allow your foot to slip;
   He who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, He who keeps Israel
   Will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is your keeper;
   The Lord is your shade on your right hand.
6 The sun will not smite you by day,
   Nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord will protect you from all evil;
   He will keep your soul.
8 The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in
   From this time forth and forever.

well it's really just a blouse made from curtains...

        These past weeks have been filled with the usual–internship/work, chapel music, SingTeam ministry outings. But as I write that word usual I can't help but think that being here, serving as a 20 year old from California in Hungary is not usual. It's a blessing, a privilege that I am so happy to be part of. Some special projects have come around. I made some curtains for the studio/IT department at school thanks to my handy-dandy sewing machine from a dear friend. I have had the opportunity to work in the kitchen doing dishes and making sandwiches (for the glory of God!!!). I even got to make a nice new blouse from some curtains ;) Christmas break is rolling around soon. I could stay here and sew and drink hot chocolate. Doesn't that sound just wonderful? Well for sure that's part of what I'll be doing but serving in various places sounds like a wonderful option, as well!
        Continually I am brought back to the cross and the sufficient sacrifice of Jesus Christ there. It is something that changes lives, not something taken lightly. Such a huge gift salvation is! May you be blessed and brought back to the cross continually as you walk through life. Many blessings!

[most of] Sing Team!! <3
