God knows what's in our hearts.

So last night I shared about how I was experiencing some spiritual warfare within my heart, and after I updated my blog, I felt relieved to be able to talk to the teen members (Vivian, John, Ernest, and Laura) just about stuff, the trip, relationships, etc. As I was sharing about how I was feeling earlier, Vivian said "You know, maybe the reason why you're here isn't to work with the teens in Glennallen, but to mentor us, the teens in the group." When I went back to my room, I realized that she was right. I had forgotten that the members on the team were teens as well, and I realized that God was using me after all. Today during the program, Perry approached me and asked me if I wanted to go up to work with the teens. Surprised and excited I went upstairs, and got to see firsthand, what Mrs. Hui (Helen) and Ernest and John were doing, and I realized that this was God answering my prayers.

What I realized is, God knows what's in our hearts. How could he not, he created us? But I am too impatient to wait for him to answer. And just when I was feeling frustrated, the next day he showed me that if I can just be still and wait, God will answer my prayers and use me in the best way he knew fit. It was really a God marker for me, after having such a night from before.

He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And He hears me when I call
