Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this : to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world. -James 1:27

A vessel

It is just so exciting and fun to see the different ways God is using me to spread His hope and to spread the insight into what He is doing here at LCH. Really, I serve a big, big God and He has great ways of shining His glory.

I just got a phone call from a classroom full of 3rd graders in San Antonio, TX. One of my dear friends is the teacher and this is the second year he has gotten his class involved (in some way) in what is happening here. It was so fun to hear their excitement and their questions about what interests them. God is just so good.

And this is not the first time I have been able to be the vessel or voice for these precious kids here. I had many people during the summer missions tell me that they read my blog. My Granny’s church did “Nickels for Natalie” all summer in their kids Sunday school classes to raise money for school supplies.

God can and will use any of us to speak on His behalf the hope, joy, and goodness of the Savior. I am so grateful that He has chosen to use me in this manner for this season of life. What a worthy cause for His kingdom!! And how beautifully He points to himself as Father, Shepherd, Provider, Keeper, Protector, Hope, and Love.
