How can i describe something so indescribable? My trip to the dominican republic was an experience that has changed my life. My expectations were completely shattered by what God had planned for me. He has used me in ways i did not think possible. I can't believe how capable of good a person can be. Me a sinner, who has no right to do anything in God's holy name going out into the most godless places of the earth and shining my creator's light. That's the thing about my God. He uses our brokenness and transforms us into vessels of his spirit. Through our weakness there is strength!
I have learned so much from my trip but i guess to sum it all up i've decided(or realized) that Jesus controls my destiny. I want to live to spread and glorify my redeemer's name. How can i live this life for anyone else than the one that sacrificed himself for me? This sounds all Christianity 101 but i feel there is something deeper. I encountered God in DR. Now i yearn for him constantly. I need his presence like i need air, like i need blood pumping through my viens.
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt of life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
‘til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
