Sorry that this wasn't uploaded last night we had a little bit of blogging problems that are all fixed now. Yesterday was zip line day we went on 8 different lines and we all had fun looking out and seeing the trees, we saw two wild monkeys, we had a fun time fellowshiping with each other. Everyone was safe, no rope burns or anything. Some got T-shirts and we all have certificates that say that we completed the zip lines. It was an unforgetable expieriance. 2 Corinthians 12:9 (last year's team verse) says, "Each time he said, 'My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.' So now I am glad to boast about my weakness, so that the power of Christ can work through me." I have seen this verse about nine or ten different times since our night in Atlanta. God has really showed me that when we feel like we're weak and can't work anymore, when we feel tired from working all day long that's when Christ's power is made perfect through us. He makes us strong in him when our flesh is too weak to move alone. Each time the verse came up I didn't know what to say because daily, constantly, I was reminded that we're going to be weak, we're going to be tired but Christ will make his power perfect through our weakness. That is just one of the many ways I have seen him work. We had a privilage as a team to listen to Mr. Thomas preach on the cross again and listen to Miss. Wilson translate for the church congregation. So many times we heard "He CHOSE to stay, He didn't have to but He chose to suffer to show us what real love is, to show us that he wants to have a relationship with us. Last night we talked in devotions about how if we just think that he saved us from hell then we have missed what he did at the cross for us. The team was asked this question: Why did Jesus chose to stay? We answered, because he loves us more than he feared the cross. So he loved the sinners more that he feared this tourture and it's hard to wrap your brain around it...he stuck out the persecution. How often do we as Christians get persectued for our faith then turn and remove ourselves from the conversation? Far too many times. So we were asked what we would be willing to suffer through to show our love for Christ. We asked God to show us something amazing on this trip and last night we found yet another amazing thing he has showed us..his amazing love. "Amazing love how can it be, that you my King would die for me? Amazing love I know it's true, and it's my joy to honor you. In all I do, I honor you." This is what the team realized last night. We were reminded of his amazing love for us. It is truly amazing. Thank you for all of your prayers and comments, they are really encouraging to us. Thanks again. -Lizzie & Team CommentsMary Kate 04/19/2011 07:41

Hey Hance I cried tears of joy when I read blog from Lizzie & the team. God's strength is often seen when we are weak.(That verse is broken and hanging in my bathroom window, remember you helped me duct tape the stain glass back together.) Praying very often the Holy Spirit continues to show all of you God's presents in amazing ways. Words can not sum up how much you are loved and missed. Pop and Gigi 04/19/2011 14:29
Lizzie, you and your group are having a wonderful time of not only doing the manual work activities you were called to do on this trip, but also the spiritual experiences of being able to witness the worship times with the people and to study God's work with each other. Keep these memories close to you as you return home and as you continue to "grow" for Christ. We love you and will continue to pray for God's guidance and safety for you all. 04/19/2011 15:44

Most bags in your Chanel Outlet selection are overwhelming with their brilliant and youthful and sweet colour except the slightly big buffel Coach bag which displays a shade of cement grey color. But I am positive how the cement grey buffel bag will also appreciate the favor of various celebrities and fashionistas with its smooth lines and stylish color. All in all, the Coach 2011 spring handbags selection is excellent and offers a manufacturer new interpretation of minimal beauty. 05/07/2012 22:58
