your kingdom come, your will be done

The last few days have been amazing... to say the least. It seems as though everything has been anointed by God. I can really see (REALLY) His hand in everything.

We arrived at the retreat center yesterday... and had to walk about 30 minutes up the mountain to reach our destination. It was fun... just looking at the mountains reminded me of how BIG God is. Everything here is so beautiful!

I have been listening to the band Take It Back a lot lately... and all of their lyrics seem to explain my mind perfectly! Especially the following...

"I will love the unloved. I will cherish the hated ones. I will welcome the shunned, with my sweat and my blood."

I want this to be my anthem as I love these Koreans for the next 6 weeks (and for the rest of my life). I do not know them personally yet... nor do I know their past or anything. But... I love them as my Father loves them. EVERLASTING... NEVER CEASING... NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES. If I am created in the image of God... then I NEED to do my best to strive to live as He did on this earth. This... to me... means loving people, His children... unconditionally. I just want to let Jesus shine through me...

During the last worship... I was jumping up and down during the song, and two Korean guys came over to me and stood beside me. They wanted to praise the Lord by jumping and shouting! So... when the music picked up again... I started to jump... and they did too! I could see the joy on their faces as they praised the Lord FREELY... FULL OF JOY! I am honored to be used by God in this way.

I would right more... but the internet is slow and not very assuring. I do not want to loose what I already have written. I have way more to write, but it will have to wait until next time.

Just to let you know... the schedule here is very tight... and there isn't really any time to be on the computer except for now (permitting the the internet is working). I will try to get on as much as I can.
