Dedication to service stems from the purest form of love because it stems from God's example in loving the church the way He loves the church. But stay strong! This past semester break I got to go to Manila and meet up with Pastor Ed and he brought me to one of the churches that he planted in Manila and I was just reminded of God's sovereignty. We lose perspective of God's work when we're so close to it, but when we are able to take a step back we can see that He is always working and using us exactly when, where, and how we need to be used.<br /><br />The hard times are reminders that we need to let God do the work and just be the instruments. That we need to rely on God and trust in His timing. =] Again, I'm praying for you guys and sending you love from the P.I.<br /><br />-AarikaAarika Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161215426196683498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2612672363160946400.post-47654256552482212982012-11-09T07:23:30.893-08:002012-11-09T07:23:30.893-08:00I am inspired by your ability to stay strong and h...I am inspired by your ability to stay strong and how you recognize God's love and power.

We can trust that God will give us strength to continue this journey. <br /><br />Shall keep you in my prayers :) Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214114722162482317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2612672363160946400.post-13660467324134435172012-11-08T08:20:25.765-08:002012-11-08T08:20:25.765-08:00What a beautiful post.

But then I have that one little thing that makes me remember why we do it, and God shows us that we ARE making a difference. Just continue to ask Him for the strength to get through the tough days.<br /><br />You are an inspiration, dear.Kayla Pevelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17815328067694297135noreply@blogger.com
