God is at work

Tonight my family was blessed to spend the evening with The Krueger's. Nick just got back from a mission trip to Kenya, and boy was I blessed to hear his stories and see his pictures about the Turkana people who are beginning to learn about and love Christ. It was awesome to hear how God has changed Nick's heart, and ultimately his life to love Him more. So amazing.

We even brainstormed, as families, some ideas of ways that we can continue to impact the people of Africa... As long as we are willing to listen to and follow God I know anything is possible!

When I got back in the car on the way home, this song was playing. I just closed my eyes and listened to Hunter sing along.

Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome in power
Our God, Our God…

And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
What can stand against?



Who can stand against us when God is for us?

It's an amazing feeling to know that really, for the first time in my life, I know that I'm believing in something and learning how to fight for something that God is for...the orphan, the lonely, the helpless.


I can't wait to see where God takes my family on this lifelong journey of ours...and HIS.

It is so wonderful that you posted about this song. I have been hearing it on the radio and it has really been giving me strengh when I hear it. I loved hearing how God is using it to work in your life too!

It has been such an encouragement to ME to read how God is working in the lives of both your family, and the Kruegers! It is so cool to see how God is using and growing people I have known in the past, even if I don't know them closely now. My heart also has a burden and a love for the people of Africa, as you probably already knew! I'll be praying for you all as God continues to open your eyes and direct your families in how you can continue sharing His love, mercy, and truth with the people there. I'm trying hard to finish my application for the overseas program I'm applying for, hoping desperately God will provide the right timing and way for me to go back there for a longer stay....or to go somewhere else if that is where He leads. But Africa sure does have a piece of my heart!!
