It’s the end of week #4!!! Totally amazing!! Its amazing to see how fast time flies by. The Lord has blessed me so much and I thank the Lord that I am here. I thank him everyday for the friends that he has given me here, the chance to draw closer to him, and just the opportunity to do his will in Lima Peru.
This week was full and loaded with tons of speakers, great learning experiences, and just the amazing time with friends and God himself.
We are required to read a missionary biography and I chose to read ‘The Heavenly Man’ about a Chinese Christian named Brother Yun. It is a remarkable story about how he suffered and endured so much for the name of our Lord. In the one chapter he was sitting on the side of a river in the freezing rain and wind and God placed a song in his mind and heart:
‘As long as I live, I will only love my Lord
With all my heart, strength and mind, I will only love my Lord
Regardless of what happened, I will only love my Lord
In all my actions and words, I will only love my Lord.
In times of humility and learning, I will only love my Lord
In times of joy and gladness, I will only love my Lord
Whether I face hunger or if I’m full, I will only love my Lord
I am his in life or death, I will only love my Lord.
The Lord has sacrificed his life for me
My deep sin has been pardoned
I have dedicated all my life to him
I will only love my Lord.’
Wouldn’t it be amazing to be able to sing songs when we are in trouble and in pain. To have the joy of the Lord in our hearts all the time. Just reading that made me realize that nothing I’m going through now is as bad as what Brother Yun has endured. And still he was able to rejoice in the Lord. That really spoke to me. We need to see how great we have it when we start feeling down.
With only 4 weeks left in Abbotsford, the more excited I’m getting about going to Peru. I know that the last 4 weeks will be filled with more passion, more excitement, more growth in God then the previous 4 weeks. That alone blows my mind. The Lord is good!!!
