A Little Old School Encouragement :o)

I was listening to this on my way to work this morning and it was...really encouraging for me to listen to again. Hope it encourages some of you guys too :o)

Beyond Belief

Words and music by Bob Hartman
Based on Hebrews 6:1a, Romans 1:17, Philippians 1:6

We're content to pitch our tent
When the glory's evident
Seldom do we know the glory came and went

Moving can seem dangerous
In this stranger's pilgrimage
Knowing that you can't stand still, you cross the bridge

(Chorus)
There's a higher place to go, beyond belief, beyond belief
Where we reach the next plateau, beyond belief, beyond belief
And from faith to faith we grow
Towards the center of the flow
Where He beckons us to go, beyond belief, beyond belief

Leap of faith without a net
Makes us want to hedge our bet
Waters never part until our feet get wet

There's a deeper place to go
Where the road seems hard to hoe
He who has begun this work won't let it go

And it takes so long to see the change
But we look around and it seems so strange

We have come so far but the journey's long
And we once were weak but now we're strong

The Moon is...Up

Walking home from the conference in the wee hours of Sunday morning Sergey commented on how beautiful the moon was. Being a bit partial to the night sky for various reasons I stopped and stood in awe for a moment. Monday morning I had an e-mail from my mom telling me that there had been an eclipse on Saturday night. I didn't realize that was what I was looking at, but here is a picture of the moon over Kiev that night. Pretty awesome.

Speaking of night skies...I will be wishing on a star tonight.

Yay for Conference!

I am SO excited about our first conference this weekend.

Please pray that amidst the craziness that comes with preparing for a conference that our focus would remain on Christ and helping those we encounter know Him better.

Pray that our youth would leave with a better understanding of Christ's call for them to be missionaries--in their home, school, city, country, and world.
