Beauty for Ashes...


Hello dear friends! So I'm sitting here halfway through a summer full of CTOPS, and I stand in complete awe of how GOOD the Lord is, how FAITHFUL He has been, and how many DOORS He has opened. It is hard to put into words everything I have learned about myself, my team, and the Lord this summer! It has been and continues to be such a blessing to read of my brothers and sisters on every corner of the globe doing the Lord's work. From Singapore to South Africa to Germany, I am so pumped to hear the stories face to face of what the Lord has been doing this summer!
Check out this song by Shane & Shane. We sang it a bunch on our Intervarsity retreat to Rockbridge, and I have been obsessed with it this week :)

beauty for ashes
a garment of praise for my heaviness
beauty for ashes
take this heart of stone and make it Yours, Yours

i delight myself in the Richest of Fare
trading all that i've had for all that is better
a garment of praise for my heaviness
You are the greatest taste
You're the richest of fair

(Psalm 63, Isaiah 61)

I miss you all, and can't wait to see you soon!

Love, Peace, and CTOPS,
Wyatt<><
