overwhelmed

I will delight in you LORD for you have turned my mourning into dancing...today is Jan 22 which means I am getting closer to pet scan surgery time and closer to heading back to AFRICA!!! Words cannot really express how thankful I am for all the love and support I am getting from the body of CHRIST. I am overwhelmed by Jesus' love for me and for all the love that His people are showing me. The Halls are a close family friend of ours and have been for years. Mr. Hall sent me a facebook message that was so encouraging and uplifted my spirits. He said...
Rach,
Carol and I are praying for you! I have found when God changes my direction He usually wants to use me somewhere else.(i.e. something better for the moment.) Trust Him, for He is faithful. Check out Psl. 121 as it is one of my all time favorites. 
We will keep praying and we love you,
Mike and Carol

I am going to write out Psalm 121 and I want to encourage you that Jesus is in control of your every move and every direction you take. He knows your coming out and coming in. Cling to Him and His cross for they are the only thing that is constant and real. His love consumes like a tidal wave and you get swept away by the beauty of His presence. Craig one of my dear friends, just posted a note on relationships, fear and Jesus it spoke to me so much as well and she encouraged us that every relationship we have in life is "Every relationship, no matter what type, is an opportunity to love someone as God loves us, and to put another person's interests above our own." that is exactly it!! We are to love as Christ loved, and to give of ourselves as He has given of himself. I am in awe and am overwhelmed by his constant love and compassion for us.

PSALM 121

I lift up my eyes to the hills, From where does my help come?

My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber, 

Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade on your right hand. 

The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. 

The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life.

The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.

Bask in his overwhelming love for you!
