My Everything

As many of you know, I have the privilege this summer of serving with iGo Global, a missions agency out of Rockwall. As I sit her dwelling over all that has taken place the past month or so, I can't help but realize what a privilege it is for me to be in this position. Realizing the heart of iGo and the role it plays in making His name famous has me in such a servant's position. I would want it no other way. I have seen over the past few weeks what being missional instead of mission-minded truly looks like. I am reminded time and time again that I am joining God in what He is already doing. I am living for something bigger than myself. And if I am honest, living for myself shouldn't ever take place, since I am dead. My life is hidden with Christ. He is my life. Why then do I live as if it is MY life? My prayer is that I will realize daily that this is His life and be obedient. It is then that I will realize that while, yes, I am dead but I am also fully ALIVE!! I desire to continue to be stretched. I desire to continue to be challenged. I desire to become the child He wants me to be. This summer will allow just that. I pray I embrace that.


My prayer tonight is this: ("Everything" by Tim Hughes)

God in my living. There in my breathing.
God in my waking. God in my sleeping.
God in my resting. There in my working.
God in my thinking. God in my speaking.

Be my everything. Be my everything.
Be my everything. Be my everything.

God in my hoping. There in my dreaming.
God in my watching. God in my waiting.
God in my laughing. There in my weeping.
God in my hurting. God in my healing.

Christ in me. Christ in me.
Christ in me, the hope of glory.
You are everything.
Christ in me. Christ in me.
Christ in me, the hope of glory.
Be my everything.
