On the computer I tuned into a radio station from Grand Rapids, Michigan and this is the first song I heard
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE
"I can only imagine what it will be like, when I walk by Your side...I can only imagine, what my eyes will see, when Your Face is before me!I can only imagine. I can only imagine.
Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'? Will I be able to speak at all?I can only imagine! I can only imagine!
I can only imagine, when that day comes, when I find myself standing in the Son!I can only imagine, when all I will do, is forever, forever worship You!I can only imagine! I can only imagine!
Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'? Will I be able to speak at all?I can only imagine! Yeah! I can only imagine!
Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'? Will I be able to speak at all?I can only imagine! Yeah! I can only imagine!
I can only imagine! Yeah! I can only imagine!! Only imagine!!!I can only imagine.
I can only imagine, when all I do is forever, forever worship You!I can only imagine."

I pray that thinking more about heaven made as big a difference in your week as it did mine!
Today is the ladies meeting at church. The talk will be on Psalm 46. Pray for me as I share the gospel and suggest some ways to "Be still and know that I am God" (verse 10 of the above mentioned chapter)
September is going to be a super busy month! Part of me says "Let's just jump right into October but yet I know that all the events scheduled will be a great blessing and I will also learn and grow loads. On the agenda are: Ladies meeting, school starting again, baptisms at the church, Ladies Bible study will be starting up again (hopefully a morning one and an evening one), Carmen leaves for furlough, visit from our regional administrator, visit from the DePuys (a couple preparing to minister in Mexico), Independence Day event for families, and a week long regional conference! On second thought maybe I need October for a vacation!
Please pray that the DePuy's support will be in soon. If it is at least 85% by October 26, they can go to the final classes to prepare for the field in November and then it is off to language school and then to Mexico to join the team here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
