You are my everything...

I guess I really can't fathom the greatness of my God. Lets look at the facts. God called me here to Grenada, He miraculously provided the funds, and He got me here safely. Now its my job to do His work. I am just in awe of how involved He is in my life. Seriously. Serena and I are learning what it means to live in the palm of His hand. He is our everything. He is guiding this trip. Honestly, I am just floating around in this sea of grace, moving in the ways He wants me to go.
We're strangers to this land but we do have one commonality, that is the love of Christ. Jesus Christ is a language spoken by all cultures. It is because of Christ that we have been welcomed here with open arms. The church here, even though its struggling, has a passion for the Lord that I admire. These people are so thankful for everything, even though they have nothing. They praise the Lord no matter what. Its the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Church brings me to near tears. I hope we in America and Canada can learn to adopt this. They give the Lord their everything and they give Him all the glory.
Serena and I have withstood countless attacks from the enemy so far on this trip. Its made us spiritually and emotionally exhausted but it has also made us spiritually aware. There is a battle raging all around us. We will not be defeated. No matter how tired we are of fighting we will never put down our swords. There wouldn't be this much attack if satan wasn't nervous about us being here. : )
