Current Memory Verses
1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are in Colosse:
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.[a]
3 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints; 5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, 6 which has come to you, as it has also in all the world, and is bringing forth fruit,[b] as it is also among you since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth; 7 as you also learned from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf, 8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; 12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood,[c] the forgiveness of sins.
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.
21 And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled 22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight— 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.
24 I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church, 25 of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God, 26 the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. 27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which[d] is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. 29 To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.

Exciting adventure! :)
ReplyDeleteI was 18 when I headed off--by myself--to Israel. I met up with a group from my college while I was there, but I had to make the trip over by myself because I was in a wedding here in the States a few days after the scheduled departure. At the time, it was exciting...a little nerve-wracking...but absolutely thrilling. Now that I'm a mom, I think, "Why in the world did my parents let me do such a crazy thing???" ;-)
ReplyDeleteI pray that when my turn comes to let my little birdies fly off into the big world, I do it as gracefully as you are doing. :)
My husband laughed when he read this...he frequently says of his parents, "What were they thinking letting me do ..."
DeleteAs we got to the airport to see them off, we found out that the Paris air-traffic controllers were on strike...and their destination was..Paris! The adventure began.....
If it weren't so obvious that the Lord was overseeing this adventure, I couldn't have let her go...
Though I AM able to giggle at the "suprises" along the way...so far... I'm sure it will be a less stressful giggle after she is home!
:)
DeleteHow exciting indeed! Your daughter is a true beauty.
ReplyDeletePraying protection for Sarah and the others! What memories they'll have! :)
ReplyDeleteMy oldest son went on a mission trip to Russia, Mongolia and China when he was 17. He went with a group.. but it is still hard to let them go in any situation isn't it. This looks like quite an adventure, and I am looking forward to hearing and seeing more updates. Such a lovely
ReplyDeletedaughter you have. Will keep her in my prayers.
Blessings,
Pam
Pam,
DeleteThey are actually going on a tour (http://bondvoyage.webs.com/reformationtour.htm) to visit reformation sights in France, Germany, and Switzerland. That was the catalyst to get them there. Then, I have a sis who is a missionary south of Paris (which is there first stop), friends in Germany (right after the tour) and then they are making their way to the Isle of Lewis to visit/meet Anne and Kirsteen (who will be there on holiday!) So...that ends up being 7 weeks of fun! Thank you for the prayers! They are anticipating meeting many people that they hope to have a good witness to!
Oh my! Now I'm REALLY excited for her!! :) All of it sounds great, but meeting Anne and Kirsteen is definitely the cherry on top!! :)
DeleteSo looking forward to meeting her and her friends when they hit our shores! :0)
ReplyDeleteWe are so excited that she gets to meet you face to face, Kirsteen! Just thrilled!
DeleteWow! I hope they have a great time! Exciting adventure!
