Grant that the remembrance of the blessed Life that once was lived out on this common earth under these ordinary skies may remain with me in all the tasks and duties of this day.
Let me remember-
His eagerness, not to be ministered unto, but to minister:
His sympathy with suffering from every kind:
His Bravery in the face of His own suffering:
His meekness of bearing so that, when reviled, He reviled not again:
His steadiness of purpose in keeping to His appointed task:
His simplicity:
His self-discipline:
His serenity of spirit:
His complete reliance upon You, His Father in Heaven
and in each of these ways give me grace to follow in His footsteps. Amen.
- An excerpt from a John Baillie prayer
A prayer I read this morning in preparation of our first camp.
Chris and I are leaving for the airport in a few minutes to begin our main journey and purpose for this trip. We have a had wonderful time exploring Barcelona and Rome and we are feeling rejuvenated and ready to begin this next phase in our trip.
Pray for us in next part of our journey. Little expectations exist which allows God to work and I am grateful for that but also somewhat nervous because the language barrier and the only thing we do know that we are doing is teaching Ultimate Frisbee, a bit scary I guess. Pray for the kids and that they would be receptive to the message of Jesus Christ as well as our hearts to be open to share and furthermore open to what God has to share and teach us while we are at camp. Pray for energy each day to wake up with fervor and excitement as well as strength to teach frisbee for 7 days!
More updates to come and thanks for following
