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.

Hey...

I'm tired. School started again and Haiti is currently in a state of chaos...crying wears you out, especially when you do it all day. :)

But it's good...thinking of myself (as always, I'm a selfish human being) and God restored me to a much better place spiritually as it came to our relationship the day before this tragedy...if I hadn't had that right relationship, everything in place, with Him I'm not sure how I would have reacted. Thank God for restoring His children to Himself and giving of Himself to us, even when we're unfaithful with what we've been given.

The book which helped a lot in that restorative process was Rob Bell's book "Drops Like Stars". Read it, if you can. You don't even have to buy it, you could read it in approximately two hours in a bookstore if you have the time. It's beautiful, it makes you think and it was very timely for me.

I love how God does that work in our lives, moves just when we need Him.

I have faith in a good God...even when it sometimes does seem as though the world is ending.

Keep praying for Haiti. Relief is coming, but they need miracles to get that aid form the airport into the city. They need people willing to dig other people out of the rubble. They need peace and love, God's presence. The whole city has been leveled basically by this earthquake, including all government offices. Nothing is functioning.

They need a lot of help. They need miracles. Pray for miracles.

He's good. Good will come even through this. Look for the beauty.
