I discussed how I think about that phrase in reference to my own sin and those lost around the world. How could she be used in the lives of those in her realm. She mentioned how when she prays that phrase or dwells upon it, she's asking God to break her heart for those around her. Elizabeth's story alone is an inspiration, and she constantly challenges me. Prelude: Tonight at dinner, my dearest friend Elizabeth and I were discussing about the phrase "break my heart for what breaks Yours", and how we interpret it. It is so sweet to see how our relationship is becoming more like a friendship than parent and child.
I am so thankful for how she loves me, puts up with me, and comforts me. My mother is one of my heroes, and if I can give just a percent of what she has given me to my children, I would be thankful. She would take in an Army into her home if asked, and she would give her life for her children. She would cancel important meetings and appointments just to come down to College Station a day earlier than scheduled to help me out. She is faithful to her family, husband, church, friends, and students. She is a silent-strong warrior, and such a prayerful person. I love my mother so much, and I have genuinely never met anyone as selfless are her. My mother spells her name like the pasta and I always think about how much my dad loves my mom when I listen to this song, so instead of Hanson's "Penny", I think of my mom, Penne. I was recently reminded of one of my utmost favorite songs! Classic Hanson, Penny and me. P.s.- apparently some Aggie students are already helping with the agriculture side of the ministry, and Emmy recently came to A&M! Who would have known?! I'm not sure, but here is Parental Control Ministries. Maybe this will simply challenge us to be in prayer for them, to consider to sponsor a child like Blessing, or just to open your eyes to look outside of our comfortable lives. Maybe the Lord is planting a seed for this ministry in my heart, or just missions in general, but I know I need to share this. What? Cry!? I'm asking myself the same question haha. Out of joy and who knows what else, I began to cry. As I read and looked through the pictures, I found myself glued to this ministry and this man in particular, Emmy. I only looked at the website today and found myself opening their blog. One of my role models in life, Mandy Sisco, keeps a blog and has recently talked about the PCM ministries. I have no idea what He is beginning, but I know I need to share this to you. I'm sitting here in Blue Baker trying to start my last day of reading and studying, and God just keeps stirring my heart for missions. For example, on July 25th we have this HUGE "Christmas in July" day where we deck out the dining hall! Our God is BIG, bigger than we can imagine, and while He does not need you or me to do anything, He has chosen us to be ambassadors of Christ to represent our Savior to the world. I'm so thankful for the friendships that I made with the leadership team and staff and the opportunities He gave to live and breathe His word daily, all the while showing me His JOY and humor at camp. Ha! But I guess that's it- He is indescribable. Served at Pine Cove Christian Camps for the summer.jeez louise I wish I could put into words our Lord's work over this summer. Graduated college(with a GoPro on my forehead! I think I was the first student in A&M history to do so.still can't believe I followed through with it).Ģ. Since my last post here are a few things that have happened in His story He's written for me.ġ.
That saying could not be more true, and how humbled I am to be able to say that phrase.
