Got Altitude?!

I LOVE COLORADO. There is a 98% chance I am going to stay here forever. Just kidding, but really.......

I have only been here 4 days and already my love for this place runs deep. It's crazy how when God calls you to a country/state/city/people group the connection is immediate. My heart and passion for these people and this place is unlike anything I have ever experienced before. I am more confident then ever that God brought me here with a divine purpose, and that every single circumstance and every single phase we find ourselves in, throughout our lives, is perfectly constructed by God to be used for His glory.

One of the coolest things is being able to see God in every direction you turn, from the snowcapped mountains to the glistening lakes to the tall pines. His craftsmanship is evident. I have never felt more in the palm of my Creator's hand then I have this week, He is sharpening and preparing me in way I could never of imagined. The people placed in my life since getting here have been the biggest blessings. I have been loved on, encouraged, and uplifted since day one and I am LOVING it. I feel as though I have been here forever, not just 4 days.

 We will be working with an awesome new church here called The Pursuit Church for the next month, and tomorrow we finally get to go out and start serving. We will be distributing food to the homeless children of Ft. Collins. There are over 900 homeless children in this area; the number is heart-wrenching and I cannot wait to serve and love on them in any way I can. One of the hardest things is picturing a child without a home, the injustice of it burns down to my core. If there is any way to alleviate any of their hurt or discomfort it will truly be an honor for me. Pray, pray, pray for these precious little ones, that not only they find the homes they deserve but that they will find a love that is never failing through Jesus - a love that makes broken things whole again, and brings peace where there was none. It's going to be a great weekend. Thanks again for all of y'all's support.

"Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there." Matthew 19:13-15
