Oh Lord, let me build Your city!

Since I started this blog, I chose the title line of this post to be the capstone of everything I write. It's from the song "City of God". When I was looking at it a bit ago, it struck me how it's a plea. That's exactly what I want to be doing. What an honor it is to be working alongside the Lord. No matter what it is that we're doing.

This morning at Division Morning Prayer, we said some of the things that we're doing with the Lord today: tests, work, class, a weekend conference, the National Guard, interviews, job hunting, walking dogs, missionary work, working on the Variety Show... and I am writing this post between Parent-Teacher conferences (in Spanish) at AMS. Glory!

All of these things are what building the Kingdom of God looks like. We've been having some awesome discussions in Dinkytown about what city-building looks like when you're 48 strong. See Collin's photos to see the fruits of our brainstorm on what the Lord has done in the first part of the semester.

And so I sit here, thinking of y'all and the Lord's work. Father, I beg You to allow me to continue working alongside these brothers & sisters as we follow You. Let me use all that I have and all that I own. "To You, Oh Lord, I lift my soul... Show us Your ways, Oh Lord. Teach us Your paths." (Psalm 25 rocks.)
