God of This City

I officially started classes today for MTR. Tonight a couple of my new friends had a group over to their apartment for worship. For me it was a time of assurance that God is doing great things here in Memphis, especially in dealing with the injustices of the public school system. For many of us this song speaks a lot to why we are here:

God of this City 

You're the God of this City 
You're the King of these people 
You're the Lord of this nation 
You are 

You're the Light in this darkness 
You're the Hope to the hopeless 
You're the Peace to the restless 
You are 

There is no one like our God 
There is no one like our God 

For greater things have yet to come 
And greater things are still to be done in this City 
Greater thing have yet to come 
And greater things are still to be done in this City 

There is no one like our God 
There is no one like our God 

For greater things have yet to come 
And greater things are still to be done in this City 
Greater things have yet to come 
And greater things are still to be done here 

There is no one like our god 
There is no one like our God 

Greater things have yet to come 
And greater things are still to be done in this City 
Greater things have yet to come 
And greater things are still to be done here


Moving into Midtown and getting to know all of my peers and the MTR staff has been amazing during the last two weeks. We have already gotten very close with each other and together have been immersed into the history of Memphis, making me love the city even more. I have lots of stories and pictures to share, but not much time. One quick story about how well we know each other: On Saturday I went with my new friend Kristin to get a pedicure and the man doing her pedicure asked how long we had known each other. He was shocked when she said, "Only a week." Only God could remove the barriers and bring our group together so perfectly to serve in Memphis.
