Glory

Right now we are on our last leg of our trip. In a few days we'll be heading home and each person will go their separate ways. Right now we are in Wengen, Switzerland to debrief our trip as a summer project. We have been spending time together resting, and  processing through some of the things the Lord has done these last five weeks.

It is so incredibly beautiful here - probably the most beautiful place I have ever been to. God's creation is incredible, and being here in the Swiss Alps in Wengen is just a glimpse of His glory, which is incredible to me - almost unfathomable. Yesterday we all climbed about 20,000 feet into the Alps, and the view was breathtaking. Something I've been thinking about is, it's easy to give the Lord glory here, seeing such a huge, beautiful, magnificent creation right before my eyes. But as I go home, my prayer is that I would still give Jesus the same glory, even with the everyday life stuff. . . He's still the same God, and He still deserves the same glory and praise regardless of my circumstances and environment.   

Take a look at some of the photos of Wengen below...

"Jesus Blessings" in Berlin. . .

*I'm thankful that the Lord has brought me to this place - for allowing me to come to Berlin (a place I've been wanting to come to for a while), and allowing me to see how He is working here.

*I'm renewed and have a fresh sense of how broken people are after just being here for 5 weeks. I'm thankful that the Lord has broken my heart even deeper for the lost, and He's shown me an even bigger sense of urgency that the world needs to know Him.

*I'm thankful for one particular conversation I had - thankful that the Lord led another student and myself to her, and I'm so thankful for her searching heart. The fact that she is so willing and so open is evidence that He is the one at work in her.

Jesus, thanks for revealing to me that your grace is abounding, and really helping me to believe that you do have enough to cover me. You are incredibly loving, and I don't think I'll ever fully comprehend your love and character. Thank you for your infinite love and grace.
