A glimpse into my journal… (Part 1)
Ericka here – sharing a blog from Micah. She wanted to let you all know what God has been doing in her heart. Here’s a glimpse into her journal from the past few days…
Training Camp Day 1
June 3, 2008
Lord, give me the strength I need to be here. This is day one adn I’m very pumped & excited to see what I am going to learn & how I’m going to grow this week. Help me to soak it all in every day so that I may turn right around & share it with the people in Africa.
Training Camp Day 2
June 4, 2008
Lord God thank you for revealing Yourself to me in a way you never have befor. Lord, you broke me and made me listen to the words being sung, “Lord, though I’m dark You say I’m lovely & though I’m poor You say I’m beautiful.” This was an amazing day & an amazing night of worship. I love you Lord. Please continue to reveal Yourself to me.
Training Camp Day 3
June 5, 2008
Eph. 3:20-21 “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations forever & ever. Amen.”
Lord, you are not a sarcastic God. Don’t let me confuse the meaning of Your words. When the bible says You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we coulud ask or think, you mean ALL! Don’t let me restrain Your blessings to the expectations of man. You are God. You are my God.
Training Camp Day 5
June 7, 2008
Lord, thank You for growing my team closer to each other and closer to You. The unity and trust is growing everyday… Lord You are teaching me so much. Help me to listen for Your voice. Silence me. Again, I pray that you would demolish the pre-conceived expectations I have of You and Your power and will. You do have things to say to me; make me a listener first and then a speaker.
Plane ride to Africa
June 8, 2008
Lord, I have been overflowing with emotions this week. And I believe it’s because for the first time I’m learning to be sensitive to Your voice. I don’t have to be “strong” all th time. Thank you for softening my heart more and more.
South Africa – Day 1
June 10, 2008
Lord, South Africa is BEAUTIFUL! It is so amazing to see the work of Your hand around the world! The people are beautiful and the land is beautiful. I pray that everyone will give You glory when they simply open their eyes and look at this place.
Eph 5:15 – “See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”
Lord, help me to redeem the time. Help me to live circumspectly. Help me to live for You. Amen.
(continued in part 2)
Isn’t God AMAZING? I know He will use your willing heart Micah. Sometimes you do have to sit back and watch what the Lord can do instead of trying to “do it all ourselves”. I’ve seen Him do far above what I thought was possible. Look for Him in the big and the small too. I love you and can’t wait to hear more about the trip!
All the love of Christ,
Pammie & the gang
