God of this City
"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." Luke 4:18-19
one word..............exhausted...thats all I got. I have amazing stories about an artist i met yesterday and the drawings i bought from her.......and about the praise and worship today in a busy park with many Japanese people coming up and just singing with us..........or even the word of mouth about their being a Christian movement in Tokyo........OUR GOD IS GOOD!!!!!! I have so much to say but i am too tired to type. walking millions of miles a day is taking it toll on me and my shoulders. Tomorrow is our day off!!!! PRAISE JESUS!!!!!!!!!! they want to shop.....i want to go lay in the bathes of tea and roses and all this other stuff that they have here......sounds delightful. I need some tlc BAD!!!!!!! Tues is our last day and we will be at another university and we are excited. We fly out at 6pm here......4 am your time and will be back in Dallas at 5.30 pm on the 16th. I am sad to go but at the same time i am so ready. I will post all the rest of the pics later...maybe tomorrow. But one thing i love is that this is the largest city in the world..33 million and yet i can walk this place like nobodies business. I just love it here!!!!!!! Today with singing "come let us sing a song, a song declaring that we belong to Jesus......He is all we need. Lift up your hearts of praise, sing now with voices raised to Jesus...Sing to the King"..........in the middle of a city that does not know our God............just brings me to tears..."Who is this Jesus" they ask. He is the beginning and the end, He is the GATE, He is our Protector, He is our Redeemer, He is our safe place, our stillness.........He is for all. Oh to openly praise GOD.....does not make me nervous..no it makes me fall in love with him all over again. HE IS MINE!!!!!
Father you write the best stories. This is my story, this is my song. I love how you are all about your work. That I get to be apart of the wild ride just because. Father there is no vacation, no favorite meal, no funny movie, no relationship that will ever compare to being used by you. When you work through me you fill me with great joy! I LOVE SERVING YOU!
love you all! can't wait to be back in the states so that i can get caught up on you!!!!! love you
