I Press Toward the Mark

August 5th, 2009

“Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”  Philippians 3:13,14

Thank you everyone who have shown me love and empathy in regards to the loss of my Liberian photos.  I was hoping to have used them to write more stories, “as the Lord gives me utterance”; but now I see that God has another plan for me—that of forsaking “all” and “everything” that “I may [intimately] know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His suffering”.  I CAN go on in the power and strength of the Holy Spirit!  I will NOT go off the air. 

 However, I need your fervent prayers.  This is not about production on a website for my glory.  This is about the power of God to change lives, of others and my own.
“Here I am Jesus, use the little bread roll in my basket.  Take it and multiply it to feed the hungry all over the world.  I love you, Jesus…..Ruthie.”
