I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands

For You are who You are

No matter where I am

Every tear I've cried

You hold in Your hand

You never left my side

And though my heart is torn

I will praise You in this storm

This past week the team did a fast together and I just
wanted to share a bit of what I learned and what the Lord has revealed to me
through this week. At the beginning of the week I was praying about which
location I need to be at next semester and I had been thinking I might just let
the leaders decide for me but I sought the Lords guidance. I was doing
some late night prayer and He brought this verse to my attention:

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart,
as working for the Lord, not for men."

~Colossians 3:23

After reading that I knew Christ wanted me to trust and
have faith that He will put me where I need to be without any of my help. So
this week the leaders are very busy dividing us up into three different groups
that will be going to either Port Elizabeth, Swaziland, or
staying here in Jeffrey's Bay.

Then over the week I read in Esther where she decides to go
stand up to the king, she simply says "If I parish, I parish." Her life is at stake but she know she must do and she's sees the urgency of it. No matter what she just wants to serve
her people. Then in 2 Samuel when Ahimaaz wants to run to king David and
give him the news of his sons death, proclaiming "Come what may, I want to
run!" No matter what the
news is, good or bad Ahimaaz just wanted to serve his king. I thought that was beautiful.
