Joy to the world!

I am so blessed. This week has been incredibly tough, and at the same time I have seen God working! This week is secret santa week at my job. Right before I found my gift under the tree I was reading my friends blog. On there he had Isaiah 1:7 and I sat in my office and just reflected on it. It's a lovely reminder of what God has called me to do. Well, I got an incredible gift from my secret santa and on it was that scripture. It says "Seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, plead for the widow". My present is a CD to support International Justice Mission. I am so excited. I love my present, but I also love how God works in situations to remind us that he is still there and very much at work revealing his plan for our lives!

As the new year approaches, I would love for you to continue to pray for my second mission to Africa. I have 2 friends coming along, Katy and Nicole. Will you just pray for God to prepare our hearts for the incredible experience He has in store for us? And for the finances to make this trip possible? Thank you!

I am so incredibly blessed. I am sad that sometimes I forget that. We are so blessed to serve a loving, caring, merciful God. I can't imagine what 2011 has in store! Thank you secret santa and thank you Lord for working through her!
