One Year

Okay. So... this tops the cake. I've gone several months without blogging BUT I'm back.
Yesterday I got back from my 3rd mission trip. This is significant for two reasons
-last year when I got back from mission trip (thanks to James and Trina) I started this blog
-this year we went to a Catholic work camp (as opposed to all Christian) It had its ups and downs.

We are at Jesus' disposal.

If he wants you to be sick in bed, if he wants you to proclaim His work in the street, if he wants you to clean the toilets all day, that's all right, everything is all right.

We must say, "I belong to you. You can do whatever you like."

And this ..is our strength, and this is the joy of the Lord.

-- Mother Teresa


I love that. On mission trips you're put into a new environment that isn't as comfortable as what you're used to. You do what he asks of you. You're given a requirement for where you working. You don't say "No, sorry. I don't like to paint. Can you put me inside and I can play with the kids?" He has a plan. You do His will. We have to give ourselves up to Him and trust in Him.


Sorry about the short, shabby post. I'll get back into this and we'll have it running like it used to in no time.


I'm in the middle of recovering. I've learned I have a lot to do to get closer to God, and this should help.
