***** Thoughts *****

God of this City
You're the God of this City
You're the King of these people
You're the Lord of this nation
You are....

You're the Light in this darkness
You're the Hope to the hopeless
You're the Peace to the restless
You are....

There is no one like our God

For greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City!!!

I love this song..and I am trying to imagine how much more the Father's heart beats and longs to have these people come to Him. Only He can draw a person to Him. We can pray and love and continue planting the seeds and God will water!!!

A city where there are people everywhere you go....
Horns are honking ....
Sirens are blaring.....
Empty eyes.....
Hurry..hurry...hurry..
Seems like almost everyone owns at least a dog if not 3 or 4
Languages you can not understand....
Lots of yellow and black taxi's....
The smile of a child as he goes to school each morning....
Children calling out my name and see who can get to me first to get a hug :)
A small church that I feel blessed to be a part of....
Friends who listen and encourage....
A smile that is the SAME in all languages:)
Try to understand each other thru motions...
A place I can call "home"....
Thankful I can walk.....
Thankful for a "metro station".....
"Odd" smells and sights....
Can see the sun during the day even if I can not see the sunrise or sunset....
Beautiful , refreshing places you can go to ...to get away and feel "refreshed"
Even get to enjoy to see a few stars "every now and then"...
The smile of a child that melts your heart.....
A smile on my face when an "adult" gives me a greeting and a smile....
The many "friends" I have made this summer who came thru here.....


God is so good. I am so thankful I have the "blessing" to be here in the city for a short time :)
My life has been so blessed.....by a Father who has made EACH one of us to bring Him the Honor and Glory.He has knitted us together....I love that "word picture" how God has knitted us a woven us...a "strong" picture of how much our Father loves us !!!!!!

Ephesians 1:3-8
Praise be to our God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.
In love he predestined us to adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will,
To the praise of his glorious grace which he has freely given us in the One he loves.
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the richesof God's grace,
That he lavished on us all wisdom and understanding....

Verses packed with blessings from God!!!!!
