Haiti 2013

For years now I have felt God tugging on my heart about going on a mission trip. I thought of all of the excuses that would get me out of it: I don't have the money, I have my children, work...the list could go on and on. I've been going to Second Baytown and they have been focusing on missions. My heart was burdened when they first talked about the trip this summer, and yet instead of giving myself to what God wanted I held back in fear. I was in tears when they read Lindsey and Justin's letters about their trip to Haiti and how God changed their lives forever. I've known them for a little while now and I couldn't be happier to know that I have a new brother in Christ and to see how their lives are being ever changed. Yesterday, Bro Tommy spoke about the paralytic man being brought to Jesus. Mark 2:5 "When Jesus saw their faith"....wow what a statement. He followed by a question "What does your faith look like?" I want to have faith like that, I want to have a face like that! If we really believe the Bible, it should change us, it should change how we live and what we do. Because they had faith, their lives were eternally changed. He said that when we simply have faith, we must set aside our own agenda....let me pause there for a moment and say that this couldn't be more true. My excuses (my agenda) has kept me from doing the Lord's work, from following His plan for me. What is more important than my agenda should be leading people to Christ, yet I get so caught up in the excuses. If I have faith, I will be willing to do the unusual, the impossible. I am stepping out in faith and will follow where God is leading me and that will be to Haiti in 2013. I don't know how, I don't know exactly when, but I know that is where he is leading me. I ask that you be my prayer warrior in this road to faith and obedience to Him.

"If you want to catch fish, you have to go where the fish are!".... I wrote this to my prayer warrior Lindsey Reed today and it couldn't be more true "My heart is already a wreck, but I am ready for an overtaking of the heart by the God who changes lives!"


Mercy Me- "Where you lead me"

"What is life?


A thousand roads, a thousand ways

Why am I so afraid to move

I crossed the line

I'm stepping out so come what may

I give it all cause I'm drawn to You
As long as my heart is beating,

Where You lead me I will follow

Where You lead me I give my life away

Where You lead me I will follow

Forever and a day

Forever and a day"
