Jeremiah 7-19; John 13

It's gonna take a lonnnnng time, we probably won't see it BUT God is gonna do it!!

After a meeting this AM with others concerned for SA, the conditions for orphans, AIDS....that's all I can think of It's gonna take a lonnnnnng time, we probably won't see it BUT God is gonna do it!!. It's taken a long time to get where they're at and gonna take a long time to help them discover....follow Christ OUT of it.
And that if we as wealthy Americans are made more and more aware and send our $$ over to help the orphans and IF we as followers of Christ can see , begin to see the bigger picture....the culture will with prayer and a consistent pointing to God, to Christ...change. At least that's the HOPE I have this morning. When people like David Broodryk commit their lives to that HOPE and others of us partner with him there and here.....it will change..... Derek and Shea are spending 2 years of their lives over there helping to bring / introduce / encourage that change...

I have a friend here, he and his wife are leveraging everything to change the way families in our area can raise their kids in Christ. They may not see the fruits of their labor BUT I know You are going to do great things in their dream. It's not just kids in South Africa who are raised without Christ, heck I raised mine not knowing any other way, not being willing to entertain the idea that the God of the universe was worth trusting with my family. sounds so stupid now but then I didn't know.....and that they are going to commit their lives to helping families, pointing families to that WAY.....

Jeremiah a fire in his bones to bring people into a knowlege of God, a knowledge of how very far they/we get from Your desires for us....I am no Jeremiah and there are no prophets who get to preach anything other than Christ....and His power.....and with the Holy Spirit and delving into Your Word we can know Your desires for us to give up all of our little gods, our concern for self (battling that all the time) and through faith in God thru Christ love others all others and in that love You will be shown.....that You trusted us with this is absolutely ridiculous and yet what else do we hope for.

Jesus sat with his disciples and simply trusted His Father with all of it and we can do no less.....again that You trusted us is ridiculous and yet the more and more I with childlike wonder and faith trust You, Your Son, Your Spirit......to know YOU ARE GONNA DO IT!
