Return

October 7th, 2012 dsisler

Since I’ve been writing this blog, I have written a lot about going away, being away from home, and returning home. I have traveled quite a bit this year. This is yet another post about returning home.

I am returning home to the ones who love me most in this world. I am returning home to the conveniences that I’ve held close. I am returning home with determination to never take anything for granted again. I am returning home to share a story or two about the people of SE Asia. I am returning home to be used by God.

Honestly, I don’t know how God is going to work through me after this journey. I thought it would be clear. I thought He would have given direction. But as of today, I don’t know what His plan is.
I can say that I learned quite a bit, however. I now know that I am courageous, flexible, peaceable, open and willing to learn, have a good attitude, and a welcoming smile. I now know that my gift of communication is truly a gift from God that I am willing to use. I now know that I love traveling overseas.
But there is still so much more to learn. I now know that I will be open and willing to learn how God is going to use my experiences from this journey to teach me and lead me.
My journey is not over. It has just begun.
As I am given insight, I will share. Until then, I will continue to use my writing to study God’s Word to see what God is teaching me. I will use my writing to encourage others. I will use my writing to share the Gospel with anyone who is willing to listen. And above all, I will use my writing to glorify God.
Thanks for joining me on this journey. And know this, we are not alone. God is always with us.
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.” (Psalm 32:8 – NIV)
Grace and peace be yours in abundance,

“For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” (Ephesians 3:14-21 – ESV)

Please pray with me and thank God for the abundant work He is doing through us. Please pray that the Church bring glory to God in all that is said and done throughout the world. Please pray for future generations that they may know the fullness of God’s power within their lives.

Praise God with me for the gifts of abundance He has provided and for the results of ministry throughout the world.
Grace and peace be yours in abundance,

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowshipof the Holy Spirit be with you all.” (2 Corinthians 13:14 – ESV)

Please pray with me that the fellowship of believers through God’s Holy Spirit be united. Please pray for our fellowship to be restored in unity.

Praise God with me for the fellowship of believers. For those who are willing to stand together against the darkness of the world.
Grace and peace be yours in abundance,

“And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.” (Philippians 4:19-20 – ESV)

Please pray with me that the needs of each member on our service trip team will be supplied. Please pray that God’s glorious riches be lavished upon those we are leaving behind.

Praise God with me for the needs that God has provided for you. Thank Him for His graciousness.
Grace and peace be yours in abundance,

“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon youand give you peace.”(Numbers 6:24-26 – ESV)

Please pray with me for God’s countenance, His expression to be upon those who are doing God’s work. Please pray that our faces express the peace and love we have received through God.

Praise God with me for His grace. His abundant grace.
Grace and peace be yours in abundance,
