A Desert Song
(by Hillsong)

This is my prayer in the desert
And all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in the hunger in me
My God is a God who provides
And this is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flames
And I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon forged against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here
And this is my prayer in the battle
And triumph is still on it's way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand
All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship
This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I've recieved I will sow

Sweet Days!











The last couple months have been filled with the Father's grace, direction and steadfast love! We have been nomads since July, traveling from NC, MD, GA, FL, OK, VA and we will be taking our farthest trek in just 5 days to our future home in South Asia! We will be referring to our new home as "the desert" from now on in this blog! Our training in VA left us with many new friends, lots of memories and a firm training for our new work!!

As I was reading this morning in Psalm 144, God showed me that although we can have all of the training in the world, it is HE who trains our hands for war, and our fingers for battle, HE is our steadfast love and fortress, our Stronghold and our Deliverer!!! The only way HE can train us is when we spend time with Him! The more time that is spent with the Master the more we become like Him! So, this morning I am able to sing a new SONG to the Lord, each day we can sing a song to HIM because of HIS love and because He regards us!

Our prayer is that we would truly seek the Father each day and consider it pure joy to know Him, to spend time in prayer and in the Word and that out of the overflow of that relationship, we can love others!

Our hope in the desert is that the DELIVERER will produce a song so beautiful through our lives and the lives that will take refuge in HIM and worship Him as the ONE true God!

Here are some pictures of our recent travels to GA, they were such sweet days! More to come!!
