again, a toss up between learning the song 'paris (ohh la la)' by grace potter and the nocturnals while doing speed punching bag motions in the air, seeing madeleine, sonic happy hour, first official flight with my new student pilot and painting with allie...today's moment has got to be the phone call i had this morning:
the essence of the conversation can be summed up by the caller's question:
'so, theoretically through bahamas habitat, i could raise enough money to buy an airplane for flying in haiti?'
God is alive! the seemingly impossible and nearly only imaginable is given life with the blessing of God being..God. and i am overwhelmed in thankfulness. it's just an airplane. and, it's just the beginning to an answer to prayer that may, or may not, grow to fruition.
welcome!
'shine your eyes’ is a phrase that I picked up in liberia, west africa. it means to open your eyes and see the Truth. this is my hope for people everywhere, myself included, that we will continually be transformed to see and be the ideals God has set forth as the Kingdom. the book of isaiah says it this way:
'see, a king will reign in righteousness and rulers will rule with justice. each man will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land. then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed, and the ears of those who hear will listen. the mind of the rash will understand, and the stammering tongue will be fluent and clear.’ isaiah 32:1-4
currently this is taking shape in my life working with bahamas habitat. we are working to provide aviation support to bahamas methodist habitat, a hurricane relief/sub-standard housing repair organization based in the bahamas. know that we would love for you to come spend some time with us as we take part in all the beautiful ways that God is loving His creation.
in the words of mother teresa, “pray for me that i not loosen my grip on the hands of Jesus even under the guise of ministering to the poor.” and i pray that in all that you do, whether coming to the bahamas, serving in haiti or celebrating life in your part of the world that you will simply love and come and see all that God has for us. let this place be a place of celebration and conversation for us to greater understand life with one another.
‘and because of our faith, He has brought us into this place of highest privilege where we now stand. and we confidently and joyfully look forward to actually becoming all that God has in mind for us to be.’ –romans 5:2
peace.
