If my heart has grown cold
There Your love will unfold
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
When I’m blind to my way
There Your Spirit will pray
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand

Oceans will part nations come
At the whisper of Your call
Hope will rise glory shine
In my life Your will be done

Present suffering may pass
Lord Your mercy will last
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
And my heart will find praise
I’ll delight in Your way
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand 

Many years ago I prayed that God would truly open my eyes and allow me to see the world through His eyes.  I never dreamed that my life would take on the wildest adventure of touching His heart through various places and faces.  I am now able to say, I have seen the hand of God at work daily in mighty ways.

I am so blessed by everyone who has prayed, served and sowed into my life and the lives of the children here.  The song above describes my heart.  God can call a nation by a mere whisper.  I am so in awe of God and His majesty.  Today, nothing special necessarily happened.  Today, there were no mountains moved, no miracles to tell.  Today was just a simple day I spent with Jesus and I love Him so much that my heart could burst.  Those are the moments with God I enjoy the most, when He and I can just BE.  The fact that He loves me, that He never leaves me and that He died so that I might have life in abundance is enough to stand up and shout His fame.  Today, I needed no other reasons than those to be so awestruck.

Four months ago, a scared and nervous girl boarded a plane to a country and life that was unknown.  In two days, that same and yet now very different girl will board a plane for a country and a life she used to know and live.  How that contrast of living has changed my life in just four months.  God has done so much and I know many will want to talk with me and want to know all I have learned.  I often think, how would I ever begin to explain?!  

One thing I know, I have learned and seen over and over here: God is Good. 

I will be in Kentucky for two weeks and I look forward to seeing as many faces as I possibly can and hugging as many of you as I can.   I also want to say a special thanks to Brea Kaiser who does all of the work and picture posting on this blog/website for the ministry!!
