cr2010 & hume2010

This morning I sat down and my desk and turned on my computer. This is pretty much the usual routine for me upon arrival at work. My desktop background is a running slideshow of pictures and this morning it caught my eye and I was frozen in the moment. I sat watching as one picture after another flashed before my eyes of our summer mission trip to Costa Rica and summer camp at Hume Lake. It was just a few months ago but let's be honest, it feels like a lifetime ago. Nothing in my life is the same. Everything, literally everything has changed. I don't even feel like the same person. Those three weeks were glorious, God-breathed weeks with His people. I felt so alive. I would give anything to go back to those moments in time and savor them. I am so thankful that God gives us a super-charge like that before we face the fire. It's like he gears us up for going into battle. I learned last summer that there is nothing more valuable than His Word. Heaven only knows that is a lesson that I needed to learn. I've been clinging to His Words, holding on to His every promise because life depends on His faithfulness. Today, I'm holding on and holding out ... waiting for God to do His thing.
