Pieces of worship.

I'm riding here on this asphalt interstate surveying the skies my Father made. The texture of the clouds and different shades of blue capture my wandering eye and I am awed by how powerful my Master is to create gravity. So mighty a creator to mold the mountains like clay in His hands. So mighty yet He made my feeble body and desires my weak soul. His unfailing love He pours over me to which I return praise for that is the least I can do. How faithful He is to His runaway daughter. I run away and choose to disobey but, He still loves me. His arms are always open when I return. How merciful to forgive the gaping wound I caused. Love so extravagant can never be stopped, so I give up all I am- all my wickedness, my selfish desires, and my future and follow my Father in reckless abandonment.

"The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life of whom shall I be afraid?" Psalm 27:1

He has fashioned me and only He knows the true desires of my heart.

God, thank You for the rain and for Your beauty.

I'm thankful for hot chocolate, warm laundry, and the Blood of Christ that redeems us. I'm thankful for reminders that I'm here for a purpose. I'm thankful that I get to be a part of God's Kingdom.

Bring it all to Peace

Dear God, Forgive every angry thought that comes to my mind. Forgive every petty action that I do and every petty word that comes out of my mouth. Heal the wounds that I have caused because of my anger and pettiness. Strip me of anger, aggravations, irritableness, anxiety, negative thoughts, actions and words. Help me to be slow to anger, slow to speak and quick to listen. Help me to be more gentle, kind and patient. Be with my friends and family who need healing and restoration. Bring us all back to you. Tame our tongues Lord. Grow our love for you longer, wider, deeper, taller, and stronger. Help us to love like you love. In Jesus’ name, Amen. “Don’t walk around with a chip on your shoulder, always spoiling for a fight. Don’t try to be like those who shoulder their way through life. Why be a bully? “Why not?” you say. Because GOD can’t stand twisted souls. It’s the straightforward who get his respect.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:30-32‬ ‭MSG‬‬ https://www.bible.com/bible/97/pro.3.30-32....

Summer busyness

Hey friends, This summer in NYC has been so amazing and so busy. We have had many mission teams and we have had the help of our summer interns. Right now, during this time of Ramadan when Muslims are seeking the truth, I ask that you pray that they would find and know Christ who is the way, the truth and the life and that they would know that no one can come to the Father except through Christ. I also ask that you pray for our students who are from other religious backgrounds too. Pray that they would know Christ and that we can disciple them.  Our summer VBS program in the parks and in our center has been extremely successful! So many children have come and are learning stories about Christ everyday! Please pray that they would continue to come to our program that we have during the summer as well! We are now starting an ESL classes that are only for Spanish speakers which will help us launch a small group Bible study for this group which will also help us to launch ou...

Anger Management

The last time I wrote was when my daughter was 7 months old!! Man has time flown by! She is now a couple of months over 2! She's sitting in my lap eating a popsicle now. I've learned so much from her and from God about myself. For awhile I had tried to find the healing of my heart my own way. I tried to make things fit that I knew weren't right and didn't align with God's word. I wanted my worth to be healed my own way. I kept comparing myself to others and that only brought me to a dark place. I still struggle with that and other wounds that I'm trusting God to heal now. Recently, a lesson I learned started with the children in my classroom who have struggled with appropriately dealing with their anger. I tell them to breathe and say a silly word like "goosefraba" while rubbing their earlobes (this strategy is used in Adam Sandler's movie anger management) because you seriously cannot stay mad while doing something so ridiculously goofy! Well...
