THIRD QUARTER UPDATE JULY - SEPTEMBER 2015

July brought a trip to Kentuckywhere I volunteered along withthree of my siblings at a camp forkids from underprivileged andabusive homes. My experience atHigher Ground Ministries waschallenging, but God used it toremind me of 2 important things:

1.) He wants to develop in me a

heart for the lost - especially thelost who have become hardenedtowards love. He came to heal,and He wants His people to beagents of His healing.2.) He is able to work bestthrough emptiness; the emptier Iam, the more room there is forHim to flow through me.

Coming home, I was exhaustedand drained, but blessed. God’sgrace is sufficient; He doesn’t calladequately equipped people. Hecalls the ones who are poor inresources; He makes them rich infaith; He sends His word throughthem in power. This is the personI want to be - not the person withall the answers, but the personwho is willing to go despite herlack of them. Trusting that Goddoes not lack anything, and willnot withhold what is needful.
