Do it Again

A few weeks ago I was in the prayer room at 2AM when someone put this song on:

I love a simple worship song with powerful lyrics. Here's my favorite bit from this song:

I've seen you move, You move the mountains
And I believe, I'll see you do it again
You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe, I'll see you do it again

As soon as I hear the first notes of the song ringing out in our small prayer space, I start to smile. This was a song I sang a lot when I was in Las Vegas, working on trying to get my Spanish Visa. You guys know it took me several attempts and many years to finally see that happen. If you read back through this blog you'll see there have been many times along my Ibiza journey where God stepped in and made the impossible happen.

It happened with my very first trip to Ibiza in 2009. I felt God call me to come on a short term missions team that year. At the time a plane ticket to Ibiza from California in April was going to cost me almost $700. On top of that I needed to pay for accommodations and food for the five days I would be in Ibiza. When I felt it was impossible God stepped in and provided the money for me to go.

In 2014 I wanted to come back for another summer season, but didn't have the money to cover my housing and expenses for three months. Just as I was getting ready to reach out to the team leaders Abby and Charlie to let them know I wasn't going to be able to make it that summer, they emailed to inform me that someone had anonymously donated the money for me to come that season.

I though often of both of those stories as I waited for my Spanish visa results last year. As we sang "Do it Again" in the prayer room I was reminded of God's faithfulness during my visa journey. But I was also challenged to hold on to that same faithfulness for my future!  My Spanish visa renewal is coming soon, and I'm reminded that I serve a God who makes mountains move. A God who can step into my life and make the impossible happen.

I hope you know the same is true for you! God wants to move the mountains in your life, and I bet if you stop to look back you can recall the times from your past when he's done that. The good news is that God is the same yesterday today and forever! (Hebrews 13:8) The same God who moved those mountains in your past is ready to DO IT AGAIN for you today. (see what I did there?)
