Faith

One of the main things I believe that God is teaching me here is faith in him. Faith that can move mountains. As Saturday draws near I am finding myself being flooded with fear with anxiety. Not in a bad way but in a good way. I am finding myself consistantly thinking about the people of Guatemala. I am excited and honored to be used of God to share the Gospel to people in a foriegn country and from what I have been told that they are very receptive to. For the first two days there even from the very first day we arrive and check in to the hotel. We will be hitting the streets and nieghborhoods running! Setting up for the Jesus film and preaching the gospel and sharing Christ with anyone who will listen. There is nothing more for this next week I would like to do. In fact I wish it was on a permanent basis. I cannot believe I feel this way and I have not even boarded the plane yet!

This week God has completely put me on my face and I may be doing things working eating and talking to people but inside I am praying God give me your eyes and show me something in this trip that will completely change my life as if I was saved all over again. Change my view on people! Spark a fire in me that will never be quenched. Those of you that are around me have probably noticed day after day how I have changed. I seem to be more quiet and more focused. I seem to humbled more as well.


I pray that these seven days will provide me a clear path and understanding as to what God's plan is for my life. He has me right where he wants me.

I want to share with you one my all time favorite Christian songs called Give Me Your Eyes by Brandon Heath. The lyrics are below and the song follows. Every time you hear this song on the radio I want you to pray for me that I get God's eyes.

Lyrics to Give Me Your Eyes :
Look down from a broken sky
Traced out by the city lights
My world from a mile high
Best seat in the house tonight

Touch down on the cold black top
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breath in the familiar shock
Of confusion and chaos

All those people going somewhere
Why have I never cared

Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me you heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Step out on a busy street
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me
To hide what’s underneath

There's a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie
Too ashamed to tell his wife
He's out of work, He's buying time

Pre Chorus / Chorus

I’ve been here a million times
A couple of million eyes
Just move and pass me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong
I need a second glance
Give me a second chance
To see the way you’ve seen the people all along

Chorus
