I'm listening to this song tonight, and it totally describes where I am at in this "Jesus" thing!
"Sun And Moon"
[VERSE 1:]
If you are the sun
then I wanna be the moon
I wanna reflect the light that shines from you
And if this is war
Then I'm gonna draw my sword
This time I know what I am fighting for
[PRE-CHORUS:]
God I wanna let you know
I want everything you are
I'm waiting for the morning light to show
a fire in the dark
[CHORUS:]
Shine your light, I wanna feel you now
God I need a miracle
Take my heart, make it glow
Shine your light from the inside out
I wanna be more like you
If you are the sun, I wanna be the moon
I wanna be the moon
[VERSE 2:]
If love is a choice
Then I need you to hear my voice
I'm the one knocking on your door making all this noise
Whatever it takes
I give it all away
I wanna show my love in a thousand ways
[PRE-CHORUS:]
God I wanna let you know
I love everything you are
I'm waiting for the morning light to show
a fire in the dark
[CHORUS:]
Shine your light, I wanna feel you now
God I need a miracle
Take my heart, make it glow
Shine your light from the inside out
I wanna be more like you
If you are the sun, I wanna be the moon
[BRIDGE:]
I can't live a single day without you
I don't even want to try
And I won't take another step without your light
I need your light
[CHORUS:]
Shine your light, I wanna feel you now
God I need a miracle
Take my heart, make it glow
Shine your light from the inside out
I wanna be more like you
If you are the sun, I wanna be the moon
[OUTRO:]
If you are the sun
then I wanna be the moon
I wanna reflect the light that shines from

Feb 6th, 2012: One year since Mom's Home-going
One year ago today, my sweet mom left this earth and entered Heaven. Remembering and missing you today, mom! I think Phil Whickim played the song "Heaven" in your honor at church yesterday:)
So thankful that we can say because of Christ: “Death has been swallowed up in victory...Where, O death, is your victory Where, O death, is your sting? ...But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Corinthians 15:55-57)

More Journal Postings:
NTM GUEST HOUSE in Manila (built in honor of Martin Burnam, NTM missionary who was kidnapped and killed by Muslim extremists on the Island of Palawan):
"Yesterday we were able to meet many of the missionaries and families as many of them are staying at the NTM guest house in Manila with us. It is a huge 5 story building which looks like a really nice hotel. There's even an elevator. It is surrounded by a tall fence/gate with barbed wire. It was cool to see various missionaries arriving in jeeps and VW vas (well basically the size of these vans) packed full of people. All the kids were playing in the courtyard down below. Ben Shields was quick to make friends with some of the guys his age here. He and I played a game of HORSE with a little girl named Noa. We got to meet some of these missionaries and hear amazing stories over dinner. There were over 80 people here for dinner!"
RECENT TSUNAMI in MINDINAO:
One interesting story was from a missionary couple who have been in Mindano for 25 years. They live in the town where the recent mudslide/tsunami wiped out 2000 people. As they shared, I could see the devastation of this tragedy on their faces. They said most of the people swept away and buried by mud were the poor who lived right along the river. It was an in-land tsunami. Most of the people are too poor to be buried. For awhile there was little help but now that it has reached national news, there is alot of assistance/aid over there."

What did God say to me?
Some of the areas God worked in my heart during this short trip to the Philippines:
* Reminding me that I am not able to do this on my own, specifically teach kids from the Word of God. Only God can meet these kids needs.
* Believing that God loves me and has good plans for me! (I know this should be a given, but I realized I was struggling with believing this)
Psalm 139
Ephesians 2:10 "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
