A few weeks ago I met this guy in the HUB, who was a Christian, and had recently started a club of sorts that held events on Saturday nights for students who wanted to have something to do on Saturday nights - but didn't want to go out and drink. An alternative activity per say.
The club has song long acronym name - of which it the last word was JREAM, pronounced "dream" (Jesus Rules Everything Around Me), a remake of the Wu-Tang Clan C.R.E.A.M. (Cash Rules Everything Around Me).
Meeting this kid and hearing his story happened a few weeks ago, but I can't get this phrase out of my head. Jesus Rules Everything Around Me. It's been really testing my reliance on God and wanted to see if fact Jesus does rule everything around me or if I'm just pretending that's true.
One of the big areas I've struggled with recently is relying on God for financial support for Haiti. I'm so close to have raised the entire thing and I want to throw my own funds in to cap it off, but I need to rely on God through this. I need to be fervently in prayer trusting that He will provide.
I know while I'm in Haiti my spiritual strength will be tested even further. God is going to stretch me - I can feel it. And frankly, I'm terrified.
