Missions Diaries "Transcends"

Transcend {to rise above or go beyond the limits of, to be prior to, above, and beyond}. If you remember nothing else from this post remember God's Love Transcends!! Today I went to my first church service in Kenya. It took all of about three minutes to break down in tears. Not from sadness but in utter amazement at how great God truly is. As I took in praise in worship (some songs in English others in languages I couldn't understand) I had an aha moment. I was standing there realizing in that place and time I was exactly where I was supposed to be. I was so blessed by how the people were worshiping, and how much I could feel God's presence. One song really struck a chord with me. The lyrics speak of coming to the Lord hungry and broken. I can't even remember how many times I have sung this song back home, but today I really listened to what I was singing. I started wondering how many individuals around me had faced hunger, and been broken in ways I could only imagine. While contemplating this I realized that the voices around me sang this song with such joy and conviction. In that moment I began to cry tears of revelation and joy. Why....because whether it be war, famine, disease, language or culture God's Love Transcends All!! Update: Thank you all for your support in getting us to the field as you can tell from the post above we are so blessed already. The Lord has us exactly where He wants us. We have been settling over the past week and are looking forward to next weeks pastors conference!
