All Part of His Plan

We found out today that although our itinerary is not what we originally thought it to be, we are still going to Liberia. Instead of leaving on Monday, we will be heading out on Tuesday, flying a different route, but it is all good. God has been continually guiding this trip, so although this was not our plan, it is ok because apparently it is His.  

Excitement is starting to really mount as the big day gets closer and closer. I am not going to lie though because with the excitement is apprehension for what these weeks hold. So it is with mixed emotions that I pack my bags, but it is with great anticipation that I go as I wait to see how God will get the glory. 

Music is a big part of my makeup. I often find other people's thoughts ministering to me in the moments of my life and then in turn use them to paint an outward picture to those around me of my inward pondering. I am sure that over the next seven weeks, I will write many people's thoughts to show you mine. This next song is a prayer for life but now more specifically for this trip. It is a raw picture of pride, so I would ask that you would pray that I cling to God more than I ever have. Pray that I wouldn't allow pride to tear down His plan, but that I would continually hold His hand.

Savior, please take my hand 
I work so hard, I live so fast 
This life begins, and then it ends 
And I do the best that I can, but I don't know how long I'll last 

I try to be so tough 
But I'm just not strong enough 
I can't do this alone, God I need You to hold on to me 
I try to be good enough 
But I'm nothing without Your love 
Savior, please keep saving me 

Savior, please help me stand 
I fall so hard, I fade so fast 
Will You begin right where I end 
And be the God of all I am because You're all that I have 

I try to be so tough 
But I'm just not strong enough 
I can't do this alone, God I need You to hold on to me 
I try to be good enough 
But I'm nothing without Your love 
Savior, please keep saving me 

Hallelujah 
Everything You are to me 
Is everything I'll ever need 
And I am learning to believe 
That I don't have to prove a thing 
'Cause You're the one who's saving me
