Identity and Trust

We have officially made it through our first week of FCM. There are 20 students in total, ranging from 18 to somewhere around 60 years of age. Lots of diversity in ages, which is really good. I'm excited to see how God is going to use that.

This week's theme was identity and our original design. It was definitely an emotionally intense week, but oh the goodness that shall come from it. :) God used people, quite new to my life, to speak truth about who I am and the obstacles to my walking out my original design. So very cool. :)

Today, I met up with a friend from my Summit days and attended church with her. I enjoyed that very much. There is so much beauty in tradition, responsive prayer and things like the Nicene Creed. It speaks to my soul. After I left Jody, I went and picked up some lunch, then drove to Garden of the Gods and had a wee picnic. This is what Sundays were meant to be, I'm sure.

God is meeting my every need. It is incredible the way that He is nourishing me, heart and soul. I am like a crusty sponge that is just absorbing His presence. Thank You Abba for this time. Lead me, guide me.

I do have one prayer request. It might seem silly to you, but it's pretty important to me. I lost my ipod touch last night. I went with friends to a coffee shop called Jives and pulled it out there. I distinctly remember throwing it into my purse, however, when I got home, I couldn't find it anywhere. I went through my car probably a total of 3 times, my bedroom 3 times and then drove back to the coffee shop and together with the guy working there, searched and even went through the trash. I have absolutely no idea where it might be. If it had been any other thing, I could easily replace it, but this is something I had to save up for months for and it's an important tool for research during class, keeping in touch with family and friends (especially during outreach) and of course my music. If you would pray that God would release the Ipod or make the Enemy give it back, I would definitely appreciate it!
