i just watched john stott on dvd
the bible and christian life
the section i watched was about making an impact on society
it was a great reminder about what we are here to do, something that gets so easily forgotten in our daily lives

thought i'd share something he ended on

i am only one
but i am one
i can't do everything
but i can do something
what i can do i ought to do
and what i ought to do, by the grace of God i will do

i left sydney nine months ago

i have decided on some names for my kids
i thought i should write them down because i always seem to forget

boys - josh and noah
girls - charlotte and (undecided)

i am a mess

i walked around in a tee shirt and jeans. yes i did.
it is finally getting warm.
makes me happy.

orphanage today.
one of the kids is so clever.
a little blind girl.
she would imitate every noise i made. i was blown away.
also, their smiles. oh oh oh!

to finish: i'm loving kristen adrienne hang outs.

i'm getting ready for my heart to be broken again tomorrow.
orphanage day.

sigh.

tonight was amazing.
all the youth groups in shanghai gathered at the park hotel for a praise and worship night.
it was incredible to spend three hours singing praises to God
alex harris (yes. love) spoke about how we are to live as witnesses for Christ. and how we should be addicted to prayer. how we need to be constantly praying for our friends who don't know Jesus. he told us that our actions needed to reflect those of Christ's. and also that our conversation should be full of grace and seasoned with salt. a simple passage from colossians. but, a great reminder of how my life is meant to be lived.


my heart and my soul, i give you control
consume me from the inside out, Lord
