"I love you O LORD my strength. The LORD is my rock, my fortess and my deliever, my God is my rock in whom I take refuge."
Psalm 18:1 was the theme verse for this past week at the Mt.Drum Child Development center. I was encouraged while cementing poles for a fence to listen to the children outside, chanting this verse, " I love you O LORD my strength." Like these kids, I made this verse my theme verse for the week. During my time in Alaska, I needed to draw strength from God, whether it was for carrying a 50lb bag of cement or just being able to wake up with less sleep than I would like day after day. I rejoice in the LORD for his beautiful creation. Today we were in Denali national park where the mountains seem to sings hymns of praise. I am grateful for the time I have to spend with my friends in service and in fellowship. I especially rely on God because we have left but I know that the problems and hurt of the people in Copper Center and Glennallen do not end. I can trust that God continues to care for all the children of Alaska and will use our service even after we have left the state.
editors note: Jewelle wrote this hours ago and I'm just now getting around to posting it... I'm a night owl. I picked out these pictures for her.
