OH TASTE AND SEE...

As most of you know, I current live in Conway, AR and will move back home in May. Being here has been an adventure in itself, but I believe the Lord has me here for a reason. He has taken me out of my comfort zone to know Him more, to be challenged deeper in my walk, to be better equipped for what His purposes for my life, and to be able to hear Him when He whispers. He has made it apparent that He is the reason I live and who I have been captivated by!  

This past weekend I was able to go home for the first time since I moved and it was completely refreshing to see my precious family and friends still at Baylor. I was encouraged so much my both of my parents, but especially my mom. Just being in the presence of her, builds me up in so many ways. She is woman of wisdom, that comes flowing from the Lord. 

While I was home, I went to the first Camp Life meeting to begin preparing for this summer. It was so exciting to be around so many people with the same heart and passion for loving precious children in a 3rd world country. Greer Kendall, the executive director of Family Legacy Missions, was sharing with us a few "new things" we were going to do at Camp Life. These things may seem simple, but will be such a thrill for the kids...the kids will get a brand new pair of shoes, a camp life t-shirt, a bandana, a plastic cup (to represent that their cup overflows), 2 canvas bags, and the best of all....a fleece jacket!! I almost start crying every time I think about them getting jackets. The children only have the clothing on their back, so having jackets to keep them warm is the biggest blessing! They are going to be sooo excited!!! I can't wait to put jackets on each one of my kids!!

When Greer told us about the jackets, he also told us that there is not a budget for 12,000 fleeces. Anyways, we are short 4,000 shoes for the kids! So please pray for the Lord to move in mighty ways to provide the finances for the jackets, but also for all the shoes still needed to be collected!! 

I wanted to share with y'all a song that has been on my heart the past few days.

 "Oh Taste and See" by Misty Edwards

(Psalms 34:8)

Oh Taste and See that the Lord is good 

Oh Taste and See that the Lord is good to me.

Cuz you've turned my mourning into dancing

put off my rags and clothed me with gladness.

And I will rise and I will praise You.

I'll sing and not be silent!

Oh Lord, my God, I will give thanks to you forever.

Oh Lord, my God, I will give thanks to You!

For You are good

Yes, You are good

Lord, You are good!

I love this song because it always reminds me that if I will get to the point of just tasting the sweetness of the Lord, I will realize of how good He has been! He is sweeter than honey and better than anything in this world! We must live not of this world, but ask the Lord to help us live in this world until He calls us home! 

I hope you are having a great week!

Live a life that is full of boldness and radically abandoned for Christ!

Keep Pressing On....
