Mountains

I have been learning lately that God is fully capable of moving mountains in our lives, and at other times He leaves them there so that we can climb over them and realize how strong HE is. Sometimes He makes a path so that we can walk straight through them, while at other times He brings us around them. He makes the path, but we must take the path. How many times we are on the other side, yet still cling to it, when we should be living in the victory of Christ?
I just made it through a long night and day. The all night prayer service was interesting. It was definitely out of comfort zone, but Jesus crossed cultural, political, and gender boundaries to bring the Good News to a lost world. We had a blessed time baking cookies today for the Valentine’s Day outreach, and it really was a beautiful picture of the body of Christ working together as we decorated cookies, cut out Bible verses and put the bags together.

Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:8-10
