BHAG

BHAG (Be Hag): BIG HARRY AUDACIOUS GOAL!! "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. ~Acts 1:7-8" What would your Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria be and then how to reach the world through it..... thus, a Big Harry Audacious Goal.

My BHAG at the moment is asking all my friends and family to send $5 once to help get Young Life started here in my small town. But, feel free to send more if the Lord leads you!!

That's $5 ONCE a year to make a difference in the lives of middle school and high school kids, yes it may be my Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria..... but, imagine the effect of reaching the ends of the earth.....

I pray GOD touches your heart to help!!

Send a check made out to Young Life or me to PO Box 104, Buffalo, WY 82834.

I'd love to reach my BHAG by the 1st of April, I'll let you know when I do.....

Being still, Knowing He is God, and Waiting with Hope,
KimKay

Actively Waiting.....

I continue to be in awe of GOD..... how He works and keeps putting Himself before me. The past couple of days have been thoughts of what my "job" has in store for me next year, and again I've been thinking of and missing someone dearly.... so I have been praying, seeking, and asking GOD....

What do I do in these times, I trust and wait with hope..... This past year truly has been a growing time, a drawing closer to GOD. It has been a time where my Faith has revealed so much. I'm Trusting GOD more than I ever have before.... it all has brought this beautiful Peace to my heart that only comes from HIM!!!!

And how is it HE replies back to me.... Well this morning I received an email of encouragement that used Psalm 46:10, "Be still, and Know that I am GOD"..... and then tonight at Life Group we were encouraged to find and listen to John Waller's song "While I'm Waiting", which was a song someone shared with me this past summer when GOD was first bringing "Be still, and Know I am GOD" while "Waiting with Hope" to my journey as words of encouragement, strength, and of HIS Love for me....

I do love HIM so.... Here are the words to that song:

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience

While I’m waiting
I will serve You
While I’m waiting
I will worship
While I’m waiting
I will not faint
I’ll be running the race
Even while I wait

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it’s not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait

I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting on You, Lord

~John Waller
