Orientation: Day 2

Wow.  Today was intense.  A lot went on, and I went through a huge variety of emotions.  But to keep this short and sweet, I will highlight one thing that was stressed that I want to share with you.

As a missionary, I am not doing my own works.  The good that "I" do is the work of God.  I hope that through my posts I do not boast in what I have done, but boast in what God is doing.  I cannot wait to see what God has in store for me in Macau.  There are 4 of us going there, and we are all discussing what we are expecting/not expecting/hoping to experience!

But the main thing that we know is that God is working WONDERS there!  He is using the Christians there to reach out and plant and/or water the seeds that have been planted so that God can make them grow!

Thanks be to GOD, the almighty!

We sang my favorite hymn today.  I'll leave you with the lyrics, which are highly repetitive, but put together the verses make a bold statement about God and who He is and what he does!

Oh, sing to the Lord, oh, sing God a new song.
Oh, sing to the Lord, oh, sing God a new song.
Oh, sing to the Lord, oh, sing God a new song.
Oh, sing to our God, oh, sing to our God

So dance for our God and blow all the trumpets
So dance for our God and blow all the trumpets
So dance for our God and blow all the trumpets
Oh, sing to our God, oh, sing to our God

For Jesus is Lord! Amen! Alleluia!
For Jesus is Lord! Amen! Alleluia!
For Jesus is Lord! Amen! Alleluia!
Oh, sing to our God, oh, sing to our God
