This song touches my heart.

Tim Hughes: God Of Justice Lyrics

God of Justice, Savior to all
Came to rescue the weak and the poor
Chose to serve and not be served

Jesus, You have called us
Freely we've received
Now freely we will give

We must go, live to feed the hungry
Stand beside the broken, we must go
Stepping forward, keep us from just singing
Move us into action, we must go

To act justly everyday
Loving mercy in every way
Walking humbly before You God

You have shown us what You require
Freely we've received
Now freely we will give

We must go, live to feed the hungry
Stand beside the broken, we must go
Stepping forward, keep us from just singing
Move us into action, we must go

Fill us up and send us out, fill us up and send us out
Fill us up, send us out Lord
Fill us up and send us out, fill us up and send us out
Fill us up and send us out Lord

Fill us up and send us out, fill us up and send us out
Fill us up, send us out Lord
Fill us up, send us out, You fill us up and You send us out
Fill us up, send us out Lord, yeah

Acting justly, loving mercy
We must go, we must go
To the broken and the hurting
We must go, we must go

We must go, live to feed the hungry
Stand beside the broken, we must go
Stepping forward, keep us from just singing
Move us into action, we must go, must go

Fill us up and You send us out, yeah
Heaven open

We had a rally.

Praying over people. We do that a lot too. We pray about EVERYTHING. :D

There is some of the group after visiting the elderly.

At the Marian Home

We did lots of guitar practicing.

At Dinner

Our parish church

Two of the girls chatting.

Singing! We do a lot of that.

And they are gone...

Yes the end of SSME is come and all of our missionary friends are gone, the last of them left around noon. It has been such a blessing for them to have come and been with us. You don't realize how much you love living in a community until you leave one. There is something so wonderful about living in a place with like-minded people, people and friends who call you on to holiness.

I was so blessed to have SSME with us. Having the group with us called me deeper into holiness, strengthened my call to missionary life and filled me with fire again. Two of the participants are going to be serving FMC as full time missionaries now. I ask that you keep them in your prayers as it is still two months till their training. We are all very excited to see who the new missionaries will be and where they will be placed.

Oh a note on Faith Camp, we were not able to raise enough money for us to go. I guess the Lord has something better in mind for me. And His will is so much better than mine. I am sad, I would have loved to go and be renewed, but God wants me here. So His will be done.

Blessings to all,

Abi

All Things New

Last year for Faith Camp the theme was "All Things New." That theme has stuck to me and stayed with me all through the year, sometimes popping up in random places. But this month with SSME it has shown itself quite a lot. Is God trying to say something to me?? I think so. I think its a call for me to make all things new in my life. Because no matter how holy we might seem God is always calling us to something deeper, something newer, something closer to himself. Its not enough for us just to be 'good." Why? Because God is a loving God, a God of passion. He takes one look at us and he is amazed. And so he wants us to come even closer to himself. To his heart. Because the closer we are, the holier we become, the better chance we have of getting to heaven and living with God for eternity. And I don't know about you, but I want be with God forever.

So moral of the story is, I need to make All Things New in my life. :)

Blessings,

Abi
