Oh praise the name of the Lord

“So fight with faith for the winner’s prize! Lay your hands upon eternal life, to which you were called and about which you made the good confession before the multitude of witnesses!”1 Timothy‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Today I travelled with a friend on a scooter to a place called Nagarcot, 31kms from Kathmandu, however, our Google maps extended the trip by 40km by sending us in the wrong direction. But, ah what a lovely diversion. We eventually arrived at our resort and booked in to find the booking was mismanaged and they wanted to change it. We pressed with evidence and they complied and gave us a beautiful room with twin beds and a gorgeous balcony looking out towards the majestic Himalayan mountains. We had come away to rest and pray. We did a study on rest and talked about what that meant to each of us.

We discovered that God had placed in each of us a similar vision and we excitedly talked about future mission trips to the north to isolated people groups. My friend is an American woman who has been serving in Nepal for 16 years. I am the new kid on the block. However, I bring skills that she needs and she has the language I need. Tomorrow we are going trekking and swimming. This is a glorious place and full of beauty. Praise God!

We are both passionate about our eternal prize. Eternity with Jesus is our desire and to take as many people as we can is our joint desire. My friend is thinking of doing a six months Tibetan language course as the people we go to have a language that is influences by Tibet. What an adventure!

Oh praise the name of the Lord our God, oh praise His name forever more for, endless days I will sing Your praise oh Lord our God and King (song).
