new beginnings

Well, August finds me in Kansas City, MO. Several times I've found myself thinking- "I, Hannah Morgan am in Kansas City Missouri. This is crazy." Its been really good. The Lord has been very gracious to establish me into this program, and community here. For those of you who don't know I'm working with FUSION. You can go to www.gofusion.ws for more information. We're here on campus of Midwestern Baptist Seminary for the fall, where the students are taking classes and in training with Fusion- and then in the January of 2011 we''ll go overseas. I'll be leading a team of 3 girls to South Asia. Ground school is over- and starting tomorrow classes begin. I'm excited to begin building relationships with the girls on my team, and to begin serving them, encouraging them as they are seeking the Lord in this time.

I love it here. I keep praying that I wouldn't just be content because it has been easier than expected to become immersed here in this community, or just because I enjoy what I'm doing-- but that I would find my joy in the Lord so that even when it does get harder I would still rejoice. The Lord has been reminding me the past few weeks of why I'm here- the gospel. This isn't about me. He's growing in my heart an urgent desire to share the Truth, the hope I have in Jesus that others don't have. Fusion is giving me an avenue to do so, so I pray that this year would be a time of the Lord stripping me of myself and that He would use me to reflect the Truth. The Fusion creed is becoming a cry of my heart---

As a follower of Christ, I am called not to comfort or success but to obedience. Consequently my life is to be defined not by what I do but by who I am.

Henceforth, I will proclaim His name without fear, follow Him without regret, and serve Him without compromise.

Thus to obey is my objective, to suffer is expected, His glory is my reward.

To Christ Alone, be all power, all honor, and glory that the world may know. Amen.
