Home and Away

Our MOBY team is home. It was a very joyful reunion at the airport, full of cheers and laughter, hugs and tears. It was beautiful and powerful to see everyone together again!

And today they have entered their *old* world but as new people, with new experiences, new pictures of their walk of faith. And as we've heard from a number of the team today....they're all feeling a little bit lost.

I wanted to leave you with one last song from Matthew West's CD...it is a powerful declaration of his surrender to God. A God who takes him when he is at his most lost, fumbling around the most....and embraces him. This beautiful song sings of a complete abandonment to our Saviour Jesus. I write it praying that it will be an anthem for our team and they walk these new steps of uncertainty and faith...and for you as well.

Please pray for the team in these next weeks that they would have patience and persistence to allow God to shape them because of this missions trip - even now as they are back home. They are never lost to Him, even when they feel uncertain or unsure of what He is calling them to next....they can jump into His arms with hope and expectation....He has deep purpose and calling in their lives! Pray that they can respond to Him - calling Him their EVERYTHING!

Everything

I’m the one with two left feet
Standing on a lonely street
I can’t even walk a straight line
And every time you look at me I’m spinning like an autumn leaf
Bound to hit bottom sometime
Where would I be without someone to save me
Someone who won’t let me fall

You are everything that I live for
Everything that I can’t believe is happening
You’re standing right in front of me
With arms wide open
All I know is Every day is filled with hope
'Cause You are everything that I believe for
And I can’t help but breathe you in and
Breathe again
Feeling all this life within
Every single beat of my heart

I’m the one with big mistakes
Big regrets and bigger breaks
Than I'd ever care to confess
Oh but, You’re the one who looks at me
And sees what I was meant to be
More than just a beautiful mess
Where would I be without someone to save me
Someone who won’t let me fall

You are everything that I live for
Everything that I can’t believe is happening
You’re standing right in front of me
With arms wide open
All I know is Every day is filled with hope

'Cause You are everything that I believe for
And I can’t help but breathe you in Breathe again
Feeling all this life within
Every single beat of my heart

You’re everything good in my life
Everything honest and true
And all of those stars hanging up in the sky
Could never shine brighter than You

You are everything that I live for
Everything that I can’t believe is happening
You’re standing right in front of me
With arms wide open
All I know is Every day is filled with hope
'Cause You are everything that I believe for
And I can’t help but breathe you in Breathe again
Feeling all this life within
Every single beat of my heart

You are Oh You are Jesus, You are You are everything
