and the fun begins

today kristen, marijke, and I headed to the boys' place for a morning of "productiveness" - and abuelita's cooking. The other team is at Matias University right now, doing some prayer walking and ministry start-up...whatever that may look like. We'll get updates from them tonight. Our team also starts campus ministry today. We'll be hitting up Gavidia University where there's a guys' bible study that Joe and Jeff will attend. Us girls will find something to invest our time in.

Before we go, we're hoping to have a short devo and time of prayer...It's so amazingly refreshing having to take every little thing we do to the Lord and place it in His hands. We are so useless without his power and spirit, and just the thought of going out on the campuses this year with God in us is so encouraging to me! This morning I read in Joshua about one of Joshua's daughters, Achsah, asking for a spring/well for the land he had given her. I began to think of how useless the land would be if there was no water - it wouldn't produce. it wouldn't sustain. it wouldn't provide for others. In the same way - what good am I with out the Lord? the spirit? the word? It's so crucial for me to be feeding my soul with these essentials in order to be effective. I praise God that he chooses to use us despite our complete lack of ability to do anything without him!

So if you have a second, would you lift up our teams as we embark out on the campuses this week? And that we'd be continuously leaning on the Lord in all we do :) Love you all!!
