Gladly would I leave behind me All the pleasure I have known To pursue surpassing treasures At the throne of God the Son Worthy of unending worship Love and loveliness is He By His precious death were millions From the jaws of death set free VERSE 2 Gladly would I give to Jesus All affection, everything For the washing of His mercy Makes my ransomed heart to sing “Holy, holy!” is the chorus Rising up from those who see Christ exalted, bright and burning Full of pow’r and purity CHORUS Where else can I go?

For those of you who have not heard, there have been a few changes as far as what I will be doing during my internship. First of all, the Lord closed the door for me to go to Ecuador, so I will be spending all 6 months in Leticia. I am excited about this, because now I will be able to really learn the language, observe the needs around me, and build long-term relationships.

The Lord has shown me that counsel of men, rather good or bad(if taken to heart while seeking God's will) will help me to know and see what He is leading and telling me to do. I may not know what the wrong answer is until I here it from someone, but once I do I am able to recognize that that was not the path He had for me.
