Nicaragua Missions Trip Update

I got my passport in the mail!!! This trip is coming up so fast. I can't wait to see what God is going to do during this. This verse below is why I am going on this trip.
"How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in Him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, 'How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!'
Romans 10:14-15

Amazing Opportunity

     I have the amazing opportunity to go on a missions trip this summer to Nicaragua! This will be the second missions trip I've been on and I am so excited to see how God is going to use me during this trip. I will be helping a missionary family that my church supports. There are a couple of different things I'll do while I'm there:
                   1. I'll be working with children in an orphanage
                   2. I'll be doing a VBS (Vacation Bible School) program at a Christian School and at some churches.
I may be doing some more things other then this, so I'll keep you updated.
     The days for the trip are June 29th-July9th, 2012. Missions work is something I've been passionate about since I was 7yrs old.
     I'll be keeping you updated on the progress of the trip during the next several weeks while I prepare for the trip and will try to post some things while I'm in Nicaragua (we will have to see how often I'll be able to get onto a computer). 
     I am just so excited to be able to go on this trip and be used by God in this way!!!!

Time In Between: A Reminder of What Easter is Really All About


Time in Between
Francesca Battistelli


You were there when Your Father said,
"Let there be light."
You obeyed when He whispered,
"Son, you have to leave tonight.
to spend nine months in a mother's womb,
three days in a borrowed tomb"

But it's the time in between
That brings me to my knees
Knowing You came for me
And all that I can't be
I'm amazed, so amazed
and I'm thankful for the time in between.

Don't take much for this crazy world
To rob me of my piece.
And the enemy of my soul
Says You're holding out on me.
So I stand here lifting empty hands
For You to fill me up again.

But it's the time in between
That I fall down to my knees
Waiting on what You'll bring
And the things I can't see
I know my song's incomplete
Still I'll sing for the time in between.

So many ways
You're love has saved the day
and I'm grateful for them all.

But it's the time in between
the middle of two thieves
That says everything
It's the reason I believe
I'm amazed, so amazed
and I thank You for the time in between
