A God Who Knows My Every Thought

I got this encouraging verse today by email from my dear friends who are missionaries to the Jews.

2 Corinthians 4:3: "But even if our Gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are PERISHING," both Jewish and Gentile.

I drove back to Atlanta today, and it is good to be back home. I drove without listening to any music CDs or any teaching, just feeling the need to think about so many things going on and also pray about situations only God can control. It is such a comfort to realize that He knows our every thought. There is nothing too difficult for Him. I made phone calls to schedule music appointments...feeling a little overwhelmed with so many things I want to do. I asked God to help me and to keep everything at a pace pleasing to God, one project at a time.

I sent out four packages today to various locations. I am working this week on our outreach location in Santa Monica, CA, to the homeless. I am trying to keep it from folding. Our leader has been very sick and in the hospital, and he can no longer lead the outreach. I spoke with him by phone today and was reminded that Hector is a true hero of the faith, beginning this outreach long before LTW began as a true servant of Jesus with a sincere heart for others. We are praying for another leader, so I made some phone calls about it today. As of now, it is no longer taking place on Sundays in Santa Monica; we may change the day to Saturdays weekly and change the location from Santa Monica to Venice Beach, since Dan is already leading an outreach to the homeless there every Saturday morning with hot food. I mailed Dan some devotionals for this homeless outreach, sending the package to First Baptist Long Beach. We are thankful for all the help we get in our partnership with First Baptist Long Beach.

I plan to get in touch with Nitoy tomorrow, the leader for the Philippines outreach. I want to offer to send him some tracts in his language and also many cards to hand out with the url to our new web site for non-Christians: http://www.bygodsgrace.org/ .

I plan to be in the music studio this Friday morning singing a song I have written, which will be included on my next Christian music CD called "Livin' For God Alone." I am going to take some time to work on it tomorrow, making sure the lyrics are tight.

I am also working on a new "video" for You Tube of "We Will Understand It Better By And By/I Must Tell Jesus" with photos taken at Louisiana State Penitentiary (Angola, Louisiana). I am enjoying putting the photos together, which will scroll as the music plays. I hope to have this done by the end of the week.

I have so much on my mind. I do look forward to my 3 to 5 mile walks in the park here in Atlanta with a God who knows my every thought...
