this world, a classroom

I want to first thank everyone that continues to lift me and the missions trip to Guatemala up in prayer to our Lord.

It has been an interesting week.  I have been praying for God to continue teaching me, giving up myself to His will, wanting to be a willing vessel for His purpose.
The Lord has showed me that no matter what happens, He truely is in charge and sometimes it's just not about 'me' yet He uses me to help another.......without my even knowing it!! haha~ yeah sometimes I am pretty thick. 
Usually when something happens the natural inclination is to think... 'me, I, myself' when in fact it isn't about me, I or myself. I am just a tool to be used however He chooses. And if He chooses to use me to cause another to look deeper into Him, then so be it.  Again, it's not me being wise or wonderful, it is purely the love of God.  He also uses various situations to grow us, teach us, stretch us.  Again, even when I am a 'bystander', He can GROW ME, STRETCH ME, AND TEACH ME....
For this life is a classroom, a learning experience on how to love, trust and rely on our Lord. To bring Him glory for His loving kindness, His faithfulness, His truth and that He is Just.  I PRAISE HIS WONDERFUL NAME, MY LORD, JESUS CHRIST, SON OF THE TRUE LIVING GOD WHOSE WORD WILL NEVER DIE OR CHANGE... HE REMAINS THE SAME, YESTERDAY, TODAY AND ALWAYS. amen!
