Fantastic Team and Family for the next few days, Thank you for sharing your thoughts, prayers, encouraging verses, devotions and songs. My morning is filled with so many emotions and it is great to know I am not alone. My devotion and verse from my bible app is: May God give you more and more mercy, peace, and love. ( Jude 1:2 ) We are on a mission to continuously improve in mercy, peace, and love towards others. We can never be fully filled with peace or fully filled with mercy or fully filled with love. We can never say to ourselves, I am an expert in mercy and there is no room for improvement. However, each day we can take one step closer to God, who in turn grants us the ability to love more. I also have a song to share by Matthew West called Do Something. After I felt God’s call to join with you in going to Malawi I heard this song on the radio for the first time. The tears started flowing (which isn’t a rare thing for me) and I knew this was not just something I felt it was God calling . This is when I called my son Derek (no he is not God) and asked if I could be part of the team. From there I spoke to John and Lord here am I. youtube/watch?v=0I2csO7_pOI Do Something I woke up this morning Saw a world full of trouble now Thought, how’d we ever get so far down How’s it ever gonna turn around So I turned my eyes to Heaven I thought, “God, why don’t You do something?” Well, I just couldn’t bear the thought of People living in poverty Children sold into slavery The thought disgusted me So, I shook my fist at Heaven Said, “God, why don’t You do something?” He said, “I did, I created you” If not us, then who If not me and you Right now, it’s time for us to do something If not now, then when Will we see an end To all this pain It’s not enough to do nothing It’s time for us to do something I’m so tired of talking About how we are God’s hands and feet But it’s easier to say than to be Live like angels of apathy who tell ourselves It’s alright, “somebody else will do something” Well, I don’t know about you But I’m sick and tired of life with no desire I don’t want a flame, I want a fire I wanna be the one who stands up and says, “I’m gonna do something” If not us, then who If not me and you Right now, it’s time for us to do something If not now, then when Will we see an end To all this pain It’s not enough to do nothing It’s time for us to do something We are the salt of the earth We are a city on a hill (shine shine, shine shine) But we’re never gonna change the world By standing still No we won’t stand still No we won’t stand still No we won’t stand still If not us, then who If not me and you Right now, it’s time for us to do something If not now, then when Will we see an end To all this pain It’s not enough to do nothing It’s time for us to do something [x3] end of lyrics So looking forward to serving together. Blessings, Debbie DaPena
