Your Goodness is Running After Me


As the voices of the youth mission team from Montana filled our house, my heart swelled with joy, love and amazement at the greatness of our eternal God.

This group of 15 young people and adult leaders had just spent a week working in 107 degree heat at a Mexican Orphanage.  Back-filling a huge septic drainage field, playing with the children, doing community outreach, picking up trash, sharing the compassion of the Lord.

Las Vegas is their last stop on the road back to Montana and they had just been excitedly discussing plans to ride the Big Apple Roller Coaster at New York, New York Hotel.  Yet they settled into an extended time of worship and testimonies.  As they sing this powerful song "The Goodness of God", one line seems particularly appropriate - "With my life laid down, I’m surrendered now, I give you everything  ….."
Our mission field is wherever our feet are at the moment - and tonight our home became a mission field as they unrolled sleeping bags in any available, corner. We are overjoyed to be a part of their lives.

Praying that each day - you are deeply aware that 'His Goodness is truly running after you'.

Blessings - Pat
