There's not a day that goes by where I don't think about all the kids at AGHO. I miss them so much. I can't wait to be able to send them all of these books that the Body of Christ have so willingly given! This is so incredible! I have so many people to thank. The list is endless.
Big things are coming for AGHO. Potters Field Ministries are now partnering with AGHO and new building plans are in sight! As of now, I am aware that they will be building them a new school that will provide kindergarten through high school! The older kids no longer have to go to the incompetent public schools! I am sure they are so excited about this! This is paving the way for so much more to come! Praise Jesus! The Lord just blows my mind sometimes.
Back in January, I had no idea that the Lord was going to do such amazing things in Cambodia. He has opened up a whole new world to me and I am SO incredibly blessed because of it. Every person I talk to, every sermon I hear, are all saying the same thing, and that is that I should follow what the Lord is telling me to do. It's really a scary thought because my plans were to just finish college and get a teaching job. Part of me realllllly wants to do that, and that isn't a bad thing. The other part of me is so desperate to be back there it is killing me. I wish I could just graduate in May and say peace out, but in some aspects I think maybe I am just trying to run away from the "grown up world" and getting a real job. I mean no one ever wants to grow up! Either way, I am not ready for any of this yet.
I am so glad that our Lord is gracious and merciful and that there is no such thing as a "perfect" Christian, because I am so far from it. I have constantly been reminded lately that my righteousness has nothing to do with me, and everything to do with Him. There is nothing I can do to have God love me more or less. There is nothing I can do to be made "good" or "better" in His eyes, or "worse". What a relief. I am so glad for this truth.
I heard a friend speak at our college service the other night and one thing he said really hit me. He said something along the lines of,"How many days do we get up and go on with our routines and lives ignoring the fact that Jesus is sitting right at the foot of the bed wanting to commune with us?" It's so true. I do this way, WAY too often. I am so convicted of this here recently. One of my close friends is pretty much addicted to the Bible. She's in it literally hours upon hours daily. How I wish I was blessed with that desire. She told me that "when we neglect God's Word, we shouldn't feel guilty, but thirsty." Yep, that hits the nail on the head! But what about when we're not thirsty? One of my pastors said, "discipline turns into desire," but that's not easy. Nothing ever really is.
