No tour is a detour with Jesus

At the heart of it I know the other person is on the same side. He is as entitled to his feelings as I am. Even if he thinks I am wrong, it does not matter. Irrelevance kicked to the curb.

It really isn't funny (or fun for the matter) taking the emotional roller coaster ride. Try not getting emotional after a whole year of rides. It is a monster! It is.
BUT it shall be Bread for me! Monster big bread!
Like the weathered tree, I get stronger : )))

Service was a punch-fist-in-the-air awesome! (Decidingly again, what is new? It always gets better right?)
I also attended my first mission trip meeting today! (Insert a little Nobody dance)
I'm all glee and REVVED up to go. Roar.
I feel privileged and honoured to be selected from an over-subscribed(!!) mission trip to go - the foolish, the weak, the base are chosen, are called. I am set up to be a blessing but much more will I be blessed! Myself, personally, I am bowled over by His grace and power. His ever assurance for me to, "GO!"

I am called : )

Jeremiah 1:4-9

Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying:
5 “ Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
Before you were born I sanctified you;
I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”

6 Then said I:
“ Ah, Lord GOD!
Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.”

7 But the LORD said to me:
“ Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’
For you shall go to all to whom I send you,
And whatever I command you, you shall speak.

8 Do not be afraid of their faces,
For I am with you to deliver you,” says the LORD.

9 Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me:
“ Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.

10 See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To root out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,
To build and to plant.”


I am also seriously blessed and empowered by the wonderful ladies God has placed in my life.
I am thankful (kisses and hugs), I really am.
I did nothing to deserve them, I give nothing to keep them. What truely warms my heart is the love they pour out to me, the love they love me with, a love that loves me because I am Mel, just because I am me. It is a God's love for me. I adore it.

Thank you Jesus : D
