I started this blog talking about how I was making an escape to Honduras, only to find a God there who was alive and well in the capital city of Tegucigalpa. And I now conclude this blog by saying that I have returned home from that city today and found that that same God is here inthis city in America as well; a God who is still living, breathing, active, and unchanging. He is the God who has done amazing works in a city in Honduras this summer, and allowed me to witness some of them. And He is the God who, I know, will now not only continue good works in that city while I'm gone, but will let me continue to witness the might and wonder of His glory through His works where I am now.
So, I'm not "home" from a mission trip right now. Because I have realized that my life is a mission trip. A mission trip is a journey in which a person goes to some strange land to try and reveal Christ to others there, but then they return home. Well, if my home is actually not here but in Heaven, then every day that I spend on this planet is a day in some strange land where Christ is still needing to be revealed: whether it be Tegucigalpa, Starkville, or Henderson. And some day (but not today) I will finish this mission trip on this earth and FINALLY
go home.

"God of This City"
by Chris Tomlin
You're the King of these people
You're the Lord of this nation
You Are
For there is no one like our God
There is no one like our God
Greater things have yet to come
Great things are still to be done
In this city
Greater things are still to come
And greater things are still to be done here
You're the Lord of Creation
The Creator of all things
You're the King above all Kings
You Are
You're the strength in our weakness
You're the love to the broken
You're the joy in the sadness
You Are
Greater things have yet to come
Great things are still to be done
In this city
Where glory shines from hearts alive
With praise for you and love for you
In this city
Greater things have yet to come
Great things are still to be done
In this city
Greater things are still to come
And greater things are still to be done here
