water

okay, so i know that the majority of you guys who read my blog are also faithful followers of jody....but i feel as though i need to use my voice to advocate for this friday's FIRST GIFT.

been following her trip to Liberia and it's invigorating to see the pics as she posts them.

the wink some little boy gave her.
the man who prayed faithfully.
the water flowing from the pump.

awesome.

i am reminded about moses and the israelites. i mean seriously, God used Moses to bring water out of a rock....water out of rock !?! to show His people that He is FAITHFUL. that He is GOOD.

and i want to be a part of something that communicates those truths to people. when they use that pump, when they take a sip, i want them to hear a whisper in their soul...a whisper that says...

"God IS faithful"
"He IS good"

now, i don't know jody that well. but i believe in my spirit that she is wrestling with her calling of being "wife" and "mom" and her calling to the orphan, to the widow and to the poor.

after all. we are ALL called to the orphan, the widow and the poor. ALL OF US.

and in a season where i am desperately trying to live in the now of being mommy to a toddler and a baby, while simaltaneously living outside of these four walls, i feel like on friday, when i give that 10 bucks, i will be doing just that.

how cool.

at home with my girls, and yet joining a band of people who are reaching beyond themselves to make sure that people know that God is good. that He is faithful. that miracles DO happen. that our God is a God who brings water out of rocks.
