Be my Peace...

Be my Peace...

I'm trying so hard to hold it all together,
but there's never enough of me.
I want to let it go, I hate feeling so down.

Put your trust in a holy God.
My broken heart cries out. My flesh is weary.
I am poured out like oil. Father, fill me up again!
I'm struggling. I want to see your face!

Show me your glory! Send your presence down.
You are just, in you I trust.
I am weary, let me rest. Be my peace.

How can I rest when the world is broken?
How can I have peace when the oppressed cry out?
The blood of the innocent seeps into the ground,
crying out for justice.

Who will hear their cry? Who will be the answer?
The God of glory will heal the brokenhearted.
He will bind up the wounds.

Let justice roll like a river,
righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
May you be our peace.
Even when we are faithless, you are faithful.
I will trust you above all.

You are good. Your love endures forever.
You will uphold me. You are a shelter in the storm.
I believe that you will come like the rain.
A healing, redeeming rain, that will quench our deep thirsts.
We long for righteousness and you will show up.

I love you God. Never let me go. Amen.

Becoming New...

Good evening y'all, It has been a long day, but it has gone by fast.  Sort of ironic.  I'm sitting at home trying to get some rest from this cold that's clinging to me like a crawfish...??  I know I've been at work too long when I start sounding out words in my head that I see--like the word, Th-i-n-k-ing.  Or I start saying the words that way to adults when they ask me a question. This 2016-17 school year I am a LITERACY TUTOR in AmeriCorps.  It sounds kind of fancy when you put it that way.  I spend my days working one-on-one with about 16 different students on various reading interventions.  We work on short reading passages or blending together small words.  This also includes a lot of paperwork, data entry, prep work, bribing and coaxing via small toys, candy, and cracker items.  It should involve a lot more praise than scolding, more high-fives than head-shaking, and you get the picture.  The work is often rewarding, but also where I want to bang my head agai

Hi everybody!

Hello everybody! I've never had a blog before.   I have Facebook though.  I don't really know what to do.  If other people can comment on here feel free to ask me about my life  : )   Oh, apparently you guys can comment so that's good.              So this is Jasmine Fairbanks and I am at the Teen Mania Ministry's Honor Academy in Garden Valley, Texas which a Christian leadership school/ministry internship, basically, yet it's a lot more.  It's sort of like being on a mission trip because we are working toward spreading the gospel, but we stay in one place and reach people through the phones, etc.  I call for the Minneapolis Acquire the Fire youth conference.  Our event is on Feb. 4th & 5th, which is in like 2 weeks!  I'm excited, I get to go and help!  We'll help set up the event and with registration, etc.  This weekend is also the Houston Acquire the Fire, which I will get to attend.  This will be the first full Acquire the Fire that I've

Today I played soccer!!!

So today was a really good day!  I went to church, played soccer, knit a little bit, read some of my Bible, worked on some stuff, etc.  Often I worry about what I have to do instead of actually taking time to enjoy life and other people, so it was really good to do that today. I need to learn to live where I'm at. I realized that w/ playing soccer and not worrying about anything for a while was the way things should be and it was really beautiful. I was kind of the goalie and I saw the others playing, carefree and running around under the big blue sky with the sun shining down on them in the warm weather. It was such evidence of a loving God.  The sunshine looked like the rays from a smiling father beaming down on his beloved children.   God is showing me that life is good, I am blessed, He is faithful, and I can trust Him.  It's always when I give me time away or follow God into doing something that I get back so much more, like the Panama mission trip and this year at the H
