so god showed up this week. literally. god made his presence known on our missionary journey up to illinois. i have never actually in my entire life felt so moved by the holy spirit or touched by our eternal father. god moved, and we let him.
it has been so long since i have felt the freedom to worship fully. but god moved, and we let him.
we found god in rain, people, worship, tractors, and even soup. you see, god moved, and we let him.
people came to the saving knowledge of jesus christ this week in an area that is not only confused, but has no one to tell them what the truth really is. we go to other countries while, within our own, people do not know the truth of jesus christ. god moved, and we let him.
so many times the christians of today get in god's way when he wants to accomplish something amazing. this week we let god have control. we prayed for things we knew could not happen unless god was in it. because of that, god moved, and we let him.
we learned that some churches give up and live out their own wants. when that happened, god moved on, and they let him.
but praise god, we also learned that if we are faithful god will provide far beyond anything that we could hope to imagine. from food and transportation to rest and new bonds of friendship. community. brothers and sisters. you see, this week, the green valley baptist church youth group saw god move, and we let him.
we didn't get in the way. we didn't whine or complain (about god moving at least). we didn't try to do things ourselves. we just let him lead, and we followed.
god moved, and we let him.
