The Workings Out of a Heart Not Fully Formed Yet

I write because I dream: I see this world as a place the Kingdom of God is constantly breaking into and I want to join my King Jesus in whatever way He sees fit to bring His life, His Presence, here.

This journey has taken me all over the world and lead to encounters with incredible men and women of God: their lives have imprinted mine. This blog is a result of our conversations and questions, and a way for me to display my inner life with God, so that others may see the glory of a life given fully over to her Creator. I, and the ones I love, are no special people--we just partner with an amazing God.

We've seen suffering. We know doubt. We wrestle with where we have been and how we got there--but we will never give up. Our lives are a testament to His faithfulness.

Be Blessed as you read. Encounter the King.

the beginning

Hmm...a place for thoughts...that's what I wanted...and not just to keep them for myself, but to share. That's how I want to live life--not trying to hoard it all as close as possible like I see so many people doing--but living free. Lending things to those who need it, being a true friend and giving all I can to see that others are safe and able to follow their dreams...

I guess most would call me an idealist, but I've also been knocked down more than I now...not physically, but seeing people dear to me in situations and not knowing how to move...what can I do? They are so far from me and yet I ache for them at times. No one should starve...but some do. It is the reality of our world, but I can't stand it.

And you know, some days, you just want to stop feeling, stop caring...it would be easier. It is a pain--heart pain--to care deeply and it can take a lot out of you.

Maybe that's where this blog comes from...I know--so many people blog--so maybe I don't do this to be read, but rather to help myself see through this time to a future. I am a Christian, one who has read much of the Bible. I know and love Jesus--usually much less than I should--and I know what He promised. So that's where I am--here in the waiting...waiting to see His promises coem through, because soemtimes, that's all there is. Hope. I need hope...faith...and love. May they be evident in my life...and in this blog.

Jesus, live through me. Please.
