As I was reading through several chapters of Isaiah, the Word spoke just how big God is and how HE is the one who gives us strength, subdues our fears, the very one that holds our hand is the Lord our redeemer. He gives strength to the weak, binds the broken-hearted, brings water to the parched, hears and answers the cries of the afflicted, fatherless, widow and poor.

But then I had a moment of concern... "but God, there are so many hurting, poor, hungry, thirsty... are you really answering their cries?" Then I thought, yes, in ways I may not understand or see for myself, but yes.

Yes, because He says Yes.

And could it be, that the Lord moves in our hearts to be answers to these cries? The very starting of Vapor could be part of His way of answering some of these cries. That He brings men & women to join the cause as a way of answering even more of these cries. Could it be this is how He is at work, moving and mobilizing in the heart of His people, for His glory.

I'm overwhelmed thinking about the Lord and His work through Vapor. Redeeming voodoo priest to himself, a child's Hasmin's Friend sponsor moved with compassion to pay for their child to have a very needed surgery this week, a team of diverse individuals leaving for Kenya this weekend, a 5k run benefitting the lost and the least, my husband sharing the life-changing Word to the NFL and sharing about Vapor with individuals who God may have join in being an answer to these cries.... As our pastor used to say, "He has the whole thing rigged!" It's so beautiful. Praying we be found faithful in each thing we are given today.
