LOVE walking into church this morning to lead elementary large group worship with my teens and have them hand me an envelope containing a donation for our Storyteller Missions trip!!! The dollar amount was the same as another donation we had received, so we got a little creative with our math to remove two more spaces on our 252 FUNdraiser picture!
Special day in Kids Worship! Three of my kids together leading worship on stage! The returning college pro, the super cool high school dude in development, and the up & coming, middle schooler-to-be, in-training.
Loved the song! Love its message! And especially love it when I sing to the Lord with all my heart and the song is my heart's cry, "...Where you go, I'll go...Whom you love, I'll love...How you serve, I'll serve...I will follow you..."
6 1/2 years ago I made a deal with God during the LONG 14-hour flight returning home after completing our first adoption. Wrestling a wildly kicking and screaming 6 year old who had awakened all the passengers and dumped a cup of water on the lady sitting next to me, I vowed to NEVER EVER again fly to China!!!!!
...UNLESS...
(I had been following God long enough to have the wisdom to add a disclaimer)
...it is Your will, God.
God has such a sense of humor! And He and I just love laughing together sooooooo much! Or He just likes laughing at all my nonsense. Another adoption...ONE, and only a one-time, mission trip to China...which has turned into two planned for 2015...and another penciled in for summer 2016.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,
"Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?"
And I said, "Here am I. Send me."
Isaiah 6:8
