CMP Brazil 2012
Good Morning! I just wanted to write a short note to let everyone know I made it to Nashville for our training and we will be flying out tomorrow afternoon. I have a wonderful team and I think this is going to be an amazing trip! I am so excited to see what the Lord is going to do through us the next two weeks!
P.S. In other news, I got to meet with the director of field operations and got some very exciting news yesterday! Pray for God's wisdom as I am making decisions about my future!!
I will try my best to update this daily while I am away!
Love
Bethany

"The Word is ALIVE..."
As I sit here on this beautiful Sunday morning I can do nothing, but praise my God! This time last week my grandfather was on his way to the hospital and the prognosis was not good. People started praying and just one week later he is home and starting his recovery. Thank you God for keeping him around for a little while longer!
In just 48 hours I will be getting in my car and heading to Nashville to meet my team and begin to get ready for our trip to Brazil. It has been amazing how this all worked out for me. All I can say is God is so good to me! I do not deserve it! I get the wonderful privilege to be used by God on the other side of the world! I am so excited, and nervous, and happy all at the same time. I cannot wait. The cool thing about this trip though, is that we are not going to see missionaries, we are going to serve side by side with the national pastors! This will definitely be an experience I will never forget. As I began this post the song "The Word is alive came on Itunes. I am going to leave you with the words to this powerful song as a reminder that God is alive and working in this crazy world! We get the amazing opportunity to be used by him!

The Word is Alive
by
Casting Crowns
Looking out from His throne
The Father of light and of men
Chose to make Himself known
And show us the way back to him
Speaking wisdom and truth
Into the hearts of peasants and Kings
He began to unveil
The Word that would change the course of all things
With eyes wide open all would see
The Word is alive
And it cuts like a sword through darkness
With a message of life to the hopeless and the frail
Breathing life into all who believe
The Word is alive
And the world and its glories will fade
But His truth it will not pass away
It remains yesterday and forever the same
The Word is alive
Simple strokes on a page
Eternity's secrets revealed
Carried on from age to age
It speaks truth to us even still
As the rain falls from heaven
Feeds the earth before it returns
Lord, let your Word fall on us
And bring forth the fruit you deserve
With eyes wide open let us see
The Word is alive
And it cuts like a sword through darkness
With a message of life to the hopeless and the frail
Breathing life into all who believe
The Word is alive
And the world and its glories will fade
But His truth it will not pass away
It remains yesterday and forever the same
The Word is alive
The bible was inscribed over a period of 2000 years
In times of war and in days of peace
By kings, physicians, tax collectors, farmers, fishermen, singers and shepherds
The marvel is that a library so perfectly cohesive
Could have been produced by such a diverse crowd
Over a period of time which stagers the imagination
Jesus is it's grand subject our good is designed and the Glory of God is its end
The Word is alive
And it cuts like a sword through darkness
With a message of life to the hopeless and the frail
Breathing life into all who believe
The Word is alive
And the world and its glories will fade
But His truth it will not pass away
It remains yesterday and forever the same
The Word is alive (The world and its glories will fade)
The Word is alive (His truth it will not pass away)
His Word is alive (His Word is alive, His Word is alive)

God is so Good!
Hey friends!
I am so excited to report that I have been able to raise all of my money for my mission trip to Brazil! Thank you to all who have supported me! It is hard to believe that I leave for Brazil in just 10 days! I am so excited to see what God has in store for me this summer!
As I was driving home from Nashville after a stressful semester I prayed. I gave this summer to God, to teach me, to stretch me, to use me, to do whatever he wanted to do with me. I want to be a changed person when
August comes around. I am setting goals and keeping my eyes on God.
It is hard for me not to get impatient. In my eyes, I am sick of school and I am ready to be on the mission field. I am ready to do whatever God has called me to do. I am getting antsy I feel like I am on the brink of a grand adventure and I am ready... or at least I think I am. It seems like God is saying wait a little bit longer. I still have a year of school left before I can even start the process of candidacy for career missions. I have a ton of school debt that I have to take care of before I can go. But if I haven't learned anything else over the last 4 years of my life it is that God is good! He is the great provider. He will never leave us. I know that He has a plan and that His timing is PERFECT.
So as I set out this summer on this small adventure I know God is good. He is with me and He is going to teach me and show me things I cannot even imagine! Please keep me in your prayers as I set out on this new adventure!
