Re-entry

I need Jesus
I need Jesus
Your the only One who can help me
I need Jesus
I need Jesus
I need You to help me with my life

My sweet 9 year old wrote this song while we were in Peru. She really had a hard time with worry and anxiety while we were away. She was encouraged to lay her fears at the feet of Jesus, and this song came out of that exercise. In the picture above, she is singing it for us the day we returned using her homemade microphone.
The words to her song have been the cry of my heart since our entry into the United States. The simplicity of her lyrics have met me in the deep dark places of re-entry...
I will continue to update the blog with the rest of our week in Peru. We were bombarded with exhaustion and sickness at the end of our week last week, so updates stopped and survival began. Now that we have been home several days and the fog is somewhat lifting, the desire to document what God did in Peru is rising up in me again!
Great and marvelous are Your works,
Oh Lord God, the Almighty;
Righteous and true are Your ways, King of nations!
Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify Your name?
For You alone are holy;
For all the nations will come and worship before You,
For Your righteous acts have been revealed!
Revelations 15:3-4
