The Narrow Road

I went to church with the kids this morning, sadly Matt had to go to ILA and prepare for teaching tomorrow and complete an assignment, although for us it was really good, singing songs and praising God. It really touched me. Many of the songs today were about God being the same and not changing...regardless of the circumstances around us and or happening within in minds...He is there and we need to trust in His promises. One promise that I love is that He will never leave us or forsake us, we can call of Him, pray and seek Him while in our struggles and also thank Him for all the good in our lives. God is faithful and true, this means He is reliable, He loves us, he has compassion and He is our Shepard...He leads us and guides us if we put our trust in Him.

Although we go about our life and experience new chapters...and our's a new place of discovery like Vietnam...meeting new people, building friendships and trying to help our neighbours. We're also exploring, going out and spending time together but we realise that we can't loose sight of God. To know Christ and invite him to guide us everyday and allow his love to sustain us in a world that lacks purpose and direction at times. Jesus spoke of a road and encouraged all to pursue this path that seems less traveled, a road that may cost you your life, so that he could live in you. So that we could lay down our life with our dreams and ambitions so His dream could shine in us and through us - his light never our own.
