In a time where we are seeking the Lord in direction, call, and next steps, we proclaim and cling to the promises that He knows the plans for us, that He has paved the way before us, and that He is capable of seemingly impossibilities. Thus, how fitting to have found this song :-)
[Verse 1]
God is able
He will never fail
He is almighty God
Greater than all we seek
Greater than all we ask
He has done great things
[Chorus]
Lifted up
He defeated the grave
Raised to life
Our God is able
In His name
We overcome
For the Lord
Our God is able
[Verse 2]
God is with us
God is on our side
He will make a way
Far above all we know
Far above all we hope
He has done great things
[Chorus]
Lifted up
He defeated the grave
Raised to life
Our God is able
In His name
We overcome
For the Lord
Our God is able
[Bridge]
God is with us
He will go before
He will never leave us
He will never leave us
God is for us
He has open arms
He will never fail us
He will never fail us
[Chorus (x2)]
Lifted up
He defeated the grave
Raised to life
Our God is able
In His name
We overcome
For the Lord
Our God is able
For the Lord
Our God is able
For the Lord
Our God is able
For some reason the chorus of this song came to mind the other evening as Mark and I came home from our Youth Leaders meeting, a meeting filled with passion and dreams, desires and earnest prayers. I don't know where I ever heard or learned this song, but I'm glad it came. "I will live to love You, I will live to bring You praise, I will live a child in awe of You." And how perfect are the rest of the words as well. Truly my prayer, and my hearts desire.
Some of you know we have been praying and crying out for ministry, for God to stir in us and open doors. Some of you know we have been horribly unsatisfied in living life simply to go to work every day, although that certainly has it's purpose as well. This was the second Youth Leaders meeting we've been to, and I think I can say for both of us, we finally feel ALIVE again. Our enthusiasm, our gifts, and our hearts are being stirred once more. And can I say we are ever stoked?! The first meeting was much confirmation for what Mark and I both believed, that we needed to be in full time ministry. The first meeting was much confirmation for what Mark and I both believed, that we were in Kelowna for a reason. It's been a long time coming and waiting, and still waiting, but I can say after that first meeting, I truly believe one of the primary reasons we are here is for the purpose of being more trained, mentored, and equipped in regards to ministry, and specifically ministry. We are excited to have our God-given passions, dreams, and gifts once again stirred in us. Thank you for your prayers already, thank you for your prayers for now, and for the future. We look forward to what He has in store. In the meantime, watch this video, or at least read the lyrics, and let it speak. This is where we're at...
"Till I See You"
The greatest love that anyone could ever know
That overcame the cross and grave to find my soul
And till I see you face to face
And grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in you
With all I am I'll live to see your Kingdom come
And in my heart I pray you'd let your will be done
And till I see you face to face
And grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in you
I will live to love you
I will live to bring you praise
I will live a child in awe of you
You are the voice that called the universe to be
You are the whisper my heart that speaks to me
And till I see you face to face
And grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in you
You alone are God of all
You alone are worthy Lord
And with all I am my soul will bless your name
