Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our "God is a consuming fire." Hebrews 12:28-29
I'm not sure i can get my head around this unshakable kingdom stuff...but i'm trying. I am figuring out that this should radically affect my life. I am living in and building on a kingdom that cannot be moved. therefore, i will not be moved. i will not be shaken. i will not look to the right or to the left, but i will keep my eyes on the Author and Perfector of my faith so that i can complete this amazing task ahead of me. Jesus is so worthy. He is worthy of my life, my love, my all. and i He knows i would give it...
this week we've been on the topic of labor and delivery. there is so much to be learnt, most days i find it impossible to remember everything i've taken in...all the stages of labor, how to take care of mom and baby in a million different situations, because birth can be so unpredictable. i mean i had NO IDEA that after you deliver the baby, you have to deliver the placenta!!! but seriously, it is AMAZING learning how the baby starts from a single cell and slowly but surely glows into a beautiful miracle of a baby. life is a miracle, and i'm so honored that God has brought me to a place to experience it.
This past weekend the Birth Attendant School found out where we would be spending our 8 months of outreach. We will leave the busy city of perth and travel to chang mai, thailand for the month of september. there we will finish up our last month of lecture phase in preparation for outreach. from thailand we will travel east to hyderabad, india for 3 months to begin working in hospitals assisting with deliveries. from india we will travel farther east to sudan, africa for another 3 months. our final 2 months of outreach will be spent in jakarta, indonesia. sooooo....to say the least, i am thrilled! i never would have dreamed up this journey for myself, but i serve a creative and amazing God. i wanted to see new places and new cultures and hear new languages...so the desires of my heart were more than answered. so now i pray that God would equip me, refine me, prepare me and use me to do my part to see His unshakable kingdom come.
love love lots of love
