Why are our people not there

Where are the people that know them
Where are the people that care
Where are the people that see them
Why are our people not there

Who will heal the sickness
Who will ease the pain
Who will go to help them
Why are our people not there

Why are the people alone there
Why are the people suffering so
Why are the people not heard
Why are our people not there

How can I go on living the way that I do
How can I go on pretending I never saw
How can I go on with my life here
Why are our people not there

The people there need salvation
The people there need healing
The people there need peace
Why are our people not there

Everyone needs Jesus
Everyone needs hope
Everyone needs to belong
Why are our people not there

I feel alone in my wonder
I feel alone in my struggle
I feel alone in my journey
Why are our people not there

My heart is in the people of China, in India, and Spain
My heart is in the people of Brazil, in Morocco , and Ukraine
My heart is in the people of Chad, in the Congo, and Hungary
Why are our people not there

My heart will not rest till I am out there
My heart will not rest till I am gone
My heart will not rest till I am sent there
Why are our people not there

I will pray till I get there
I will pray till I'm gone
I will pray till I'm sent there
Why are our people not there

Last Week
I came from the land of poverty
I came from the land of ignorance
i came from the land of the struggle
I came from the land of the lost

I came from the land of idols
I came from the land of chaos
I came from the land of dirt
I came from the land of sickness

I came from the land of beggars
I came from the land of pain
I came from the land of the hopeless
I came from the land of rain


Right now
I live in the land of new
I live in the land of trust
I live in the land of freedom
I live in the land of too much

I live in the land of size matters
I live in the land of clean
I live in the land of money
I live in the land of greed

I live in the land of convenience
I live in the land of opportunity
I live in the land of climbing ladders
I live in the land of the blessed


From here
I strive for the land of perfection
I strive for the land of love
I strive for the land of grace
I strive for the Winged Dove

I strive for the land of peace
I strive for the land of joy
I strive for the land of hope
I strive for His only born

I strive for the land of holiness
I strive for the land of justice
I strive for the land of the guiltless
I strive for His Righteousness

Forever

I will live for his every blessing
I will live for his every word
I will live for his every message
I will live for his precious gift

I will live for his perfection
I will live for his love
I will live for his song
I will live for his presence

I will live for his wisdom
I will live for his creation
I will live for his forgiveness
I will live for his Great Commission

Tuesday count down

Its Tuesday and I am leaving in three days.... I am getting excited now and no longer feel scared. Thank you all for your prayers. Keep praying as I prepare to go!

did someone say India?

Hello Folks,

It is Monday and I leave on Friday. Please pray for my trip. The whole trip is about 24 hours including 3 plane rides and an exciting trip up the mountains in a very crowded van. It is a medical mission, so pray I don't pass out! Ill keep you updated throughout the week about things as they come up. If you want to see where we are going type in Sikkim and Siliguri in google images.... it will give you an idea!

nothing to fear but fear itself.

There really is nothing to fear but fear itself. Sometimes I find myself in a state of fear. Not extreme knock your socks off kind of fear, but the fear that comes softly. The kind that makes you think something is wrong but you just are not quite sure what. I once thought I was alone in this, but I realize now I am not. It just comes sometimes without warning or reason and makes you want to hide out for a while away from everyone and everything. Maybe it is caused by stress or maybe it is spiritual warfare. Whatever it is, it is enough to stop you and prevent you from the wonderful things that may come your way. God says He will never leave me nor forsake me, and I believe that. But even as I write this I hear emergency sirens off in the distance which is an ever present reminder of my humanness, and a reminder that God may be in control, but that does not mean bad things will not happen. It also does not mean that spiritual warfare does not exist. I am living proof of that.
