We just returned from a lovely evening of prayer and praise with some of our dear friends. Bethany and Kristen led us in worship. "Everyone needs compassion, the kindness of a Savior. My God is MIGHTY to save!" So sweet to hear all our voices raised in praise!
Even though the Red Velvet cake and snickerdoodles were yummy, the fellowship and the precious prayers were so much sweeter! We were so engrossed in our time of worship that I forgot to take photos to memorialize the wonderful evening. More than 45 friends surrounded us with their love and intercession--seeking the Lord and His favor on our behalf. I was so moved. So thrilled. So excited to be going. It seems so real now that we have shared the burden in prayer and know that so many of you terrific folks are shouldering it with us in prayer. Now and in the weeks to come.
We prayed for Love to overflow from every pore of every person going to serve. We prayed that each child God brings will feel that Love. We prayed to bring them Hope. We prayed for boldness. And passion. And strength. Patience and gentleness. In short, we asked that Jesus would make us His instruments, formed into His image, for His glory. It was a beautiful evening. I now feel like I am truly "ready" to GO!
And hearing all the children pray! WHEW! Moved me to tears.
It feels silly to try and capture that supernatural movement of the Spirit of the Lord. So I will just say thanks to those who came and those who stayed and prayed. We felt every prayer.
