Seekers of God's Heart

Click here to listen to the song if you're viewing this on your email. 

Until we give you first place

Until we let you begin to fill us with your spirit, 

Renew us from within, 

Nothing matters, nothing's gained; without your holy presence our lives are lived in vain.

Lord, we want to know you, live our lives to show you,

All the love we owe you, we're seekers of your heart. 

Because your heart was broken, because you saw the need, because you gave so freely, because of Calvary, we can now be called your own complete creations, filled with you alone. 

Lord, we want to know you, live our lives to show you all the love we owe you, we're seekers of your heart. 

O Jesus, blest Redeemer, sent from the heart of God. Hold us, who wait before thee, near to the heart of God.

This is a beautiful song. Many times the Scriptures say that when we seek God we will find him. It is possible to know the heart of God. But we can't know it if we're not searching. Knowing God comes through discipline and spending time in the Word and in prayer. If he is not first place in life, does anything else really matter? I want to live a life that matters, that's in tune with God. How about you? Sincerely seek God. You will find him.

1 Chronicles 16:10-11 - "Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord. Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually."

Psalm 119:2 - "Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart."

Psalm 105:4 - "Seek the Lord, and his strength: seek his face evermore."

Jeremiah 29:12-13 - "Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart."

Honduras ~ part 6

May 31st our school took a field trip to a train park. 

 

I love these kids so much. They sang almost the whole way there. lol

Visiting the train park was just a day loaded with fun. They have quite a few old trains you can walk in as well as a playground. We ate pizza outside and got to go on a train ride through the town. 

Videos of the children playing. 💕

Each class was split in half so there could be an adult with each group. This was my group of kids for the day, and we had a blast. They are just the sweetest, funniest, cutest, most helpful children. 

I don't think I've ever loved more deeply than I have these little sweet people. They will always be in my heart, and I look forward to the day we can see each other again. 

Everyone thinks Kristel looks like the president of Honduras, Xiomara Castro, (picture below) so we all got a kick out of Kristel waving as we drove through town. Many people stopped to stare. 😂

Here comes the train. 

Until next time...... :)

Honduras ~ part 5

 May 24th the missionaries took us and a visiting team from Washington to the city to do "touristy" things. 

Saw this beautiful cathedral on the way. 

Kristel, Cora, & I

First, we stopped at a Dunkin Donuts and of course we had to take 3 polaroid pictures. 😅

By the way, the Dunkin Donuts in Honduras has some really good drinks American Dunkins don't have. Example, a Dunkinchino. I've tried to find something similar but just can't. But I think it'd be a bestseller here. :) 

Next, we walked around an indoor market where there were probably close to 100 little booths set up, each run by different people. It's a fabulous place to go as a visitor and buy souvenirs. I got to practice bargaining here - so fun! Some goods are priced higher because a lot of Americans shop, but many things are very reasonable. Kristel and I walked around together and found a couple items. 

We got matching bracelets. How I miss this precious sister so much. 

Next stop: Dennys. We had to wait a while for a table since we had so many people. I think I ate at Dennys 3 times which is way more than I have in the U.S. They have a few different menu items and it's actually good food. One time Kristel and I got milkshakes, and not only did they serve us the milkshake in the glass, but also the leftover milkshake that couldn't fit in the cup. They just brought it to us in the blender. lol. 

On our way there. 

Final stop was visiting Pulhapanzak falls. It's a lovely place where you can go to camp or stay overnight in the cabanas located on the property. They also offer ziplining and hiking. Since we arrived a little over an hour before the site closed, we could only pick one activity. Some of our group chose to hike underneath the falls and swim in the water and some of us chose ziplining over the falls. 

There are 7 zip lines altogether. 

Kara, Trenton, I, and 3 people from the group from Washington went ziplining.

It's a gorgeous site. Here are a couple videos of the falls. Ziplining video was taken by Kristel. :)

When standing at the overlook, we could feel the mist of the water.

Thanks for following along as I share these precious memories. If you have any questions about Honduras, feel free to ask!
