Ask and I'll give the Nations to you!

Recently, the burdens and stress of everything that is going on has gotten the best of me...being on crutches has prevented me from getting a lot done...including packing for training camp! I've been up and down with faith and doubt, hope and discouragement, anger and peace - and I think I've been focusing waaaaay too much on all this. My eyes have been planted on this week - everything I need to get done, all the doctor visits, etc - and have not been focused on what God is doing and will be doing as I embark on this mission!

I was listening to playlist.com today, compiling my playlist so I could get some things done and listen to some fun music at the same time, and I ran across a song I hadn't heard before: You Said, by Shane & Shane. The lyrics turned my focus back to the point of all this: Taking God's Kingdom to the Nations!!

Ultimately this is all that matters! I've been called to the World Race for this reason, and God will get me there! I don't need to worry about my leg, my account total, or how I'm going to pack and get down to training camp. God has a plan, and He will accomplish everything He has set out to do in and through me!! Praise God!!

You Said - Shane & Shane

You said "Ask and you will receive"
Whatever you need
You Said "Pray and I'll hear from heaven and I'll heal your land"

You said, Your glory will fill the earth like water to seas
You said "Lift up your eyes the harvest is here the kingdom is near"

You said ask and I'll give the nations to you
Oh Lord, thats the cry of my heart
Distant shores and the islands will see your light as it rises on us
