Lord Move or Move me!

LORD MOVE OR MOVE ME ~FFH
"I can't find the words to Pray. I'm a little dull today. Can you help me can you hold me? I feel a million Miles away, and I don't know what to say. Can you hear me anyway? What I need is for you to reach out your hand, You have taught me no matter what you'd understand.

Lord move in a way that I've never seen before. Cause there's a mountain in the way and a lock on the door. I'm drifting away, waves are crashing on the shore. Lord Move or Move me!

I've looked everywhere to find a simple peace of mind, I can't find nothing on my own. So I've got to leave myself behind, take up this cross of mine, give away everything I hold on to. Lord i know that the only way is through this. And I know I need you to help me do this.

Lord move in a way that I've never seen before. Cause there's a mountain in the way and a lock on the door. I'm drifting away, waves are crashing on the shore. Lord Move or Move me!

Out of this place of complacency to a place of fellowship with thee. Cause I am weak but Lord you are so strong. And you know it's been way to long.

Lord move in a way that I've never seen before. Cause there's a mountain in the way and a lock on the door. I'm drifting away, waves are crashing on the shore. Lord Move or Move me!


Before moving here to Alaska this song was very close to what i felt in my heart. I was dull and praying was hard. The verses in this song were so real to me. I felt a million miles away and wondered if God was listening to me. I looked everywhere for a simple peace of mind, ask my mom she was there a lot when I had NO peace of mind. I was in a place of complacency and to me it was safe and comfortable. But God cannot use you in those places. He wants us to step out of our comfort zones and be stretched and molded into something new for him.

All my life I wondered why God would give me all this "Experience" in my life. He had me grow up in the bush of Zambia, Africa (which I would never trade in a million years) and go to boarding school in Kenya. At school I learn how to make fires for our hot water, cut wood, socialize with people from other countries and cultures. At home mom cooked from scratch, we made our own bread & Tortilla’s, we hunted for our meat, we ate the Local Cuisine, We bought food in bulk and saved it, froze it, and we "Roughed It". Now I am beginning to see the reason why all that experience was in my life.

Alaska is a different world from the rest of the USA. Many things that I learned as a kid are now the everyday life for us here. We use fire to heat our house, make our own bread tortillas, we save as much water as we can. RVA (Rift Valley Academy) taught me to take quick showers and here I find myself timing my showers just to save water. Though here we do have a grocery store, however the prices are about 4 times more then what you would pay in the city. Everything must be flown in or barged in during the summer.So all this experience that I thought was useless because Keith and I lived in places that never needed to use all that experience I am thankful for all that knowledge.

The other day I got to go to a Young Life Meeting. That is a place that the high school students get to go play some games and then there is a small Bible study at the end. It was so neat to go hang out with these kids because most of them attend the boarding school that is here in Galena. They come from all over Alaska to this school and it was fun just to get to know these kids. Having gone to a Boarding school myself I could tell them my story and they knew I know how they feel. Who would have thought that going to a boarding school would be another experience that I could learn from. =)

I am excited to see what ways God will use Keith, Kaden and I in this little town of Galena. But I continued to pray for God to move in me or Move me...... so as you can see we have moved to Alaska. Let me tell you. If you are not willing to follow God in his move you better not pray that he move you. He will move in you and he might just move you to a new place!
