Trust the Lord, lean not on your own understanding. he was and is and is to come

In less than a week I will be leaving the country and heading to Belize with the Lord, my lifelong friend Emily, a group of students from both Uof M and Bethel, and others. To go be with this team I have yet to meet and all the people in Belize I have yet to meet. What is SO cool is that the Lord who knows me perfectly also knows all of them.


and the Lord knows what every day has in store for us there. He goes ahead of us and behind us. God talks about this in Isaiah 52, (btw it seems that I cannot get enough of Isaiah, I don’t even try to go there it just happens) but anyway Isaiah 52:12 "But you will not leave in haste or go in flight; for the Lord will go before you, the God of Israel will be your rear guard."
Go take a look at chapter 52. The Lord is calling the captives free, free in him and by him. He says awake and put on strength and splendor, shake off dust, stand up and sit enthroned! wow those are just bits of the first 2 verses. The LORD calls us out of chains to a place enthroned! lets keep going....

verse 6, we will know his name! Then we come to verse 7 oh how lovely of a picture is this???
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring the good news... verse 9 burst into songs of joy together, you ruins of Jerusalem, for the Lord has comforted his people....
Keep reading it on your own, it is amazing
bare his holy arm in the sight of all nations
the ends if the earth will see the salvation of our God
The he is calling Zion to depart and to know that he is before them and their rear gua
what a wonderful chapter!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANNAH 19!
<--- could she be cuter?
Ok hope you all have a blessed day, call on the name of the Lord, learn who you are, created by him and for him. What does that mean today? Be encouraged, stand in the Love of the Father, and pass it out to others <3
