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.

I Don't Want to Be Ordinary

I love being able to share His truths...

Have I ever told you that my life has been completely blessed? I wish you could live in my head for a day--its just that God has chosen to love me! Even though I have days like today (bad temper, silly doubts, having to fight)...I also had a day like yesterday (being fully in His presence, having His word impressed upon my heart, invited in to joy and so aware of His deep love and leading)...and you need both days. Life is not all dancing on the mountaintop, its also found in the deep, among the ravines where evil lurks. We live with the Kingdom in us, waiting on His Kingdom to be released over the whole earth. That means we will be tempted and have really numbing difficult days, because we have to learn to fight. This is not a race run by letting Jesus pull you after Him--you race with Him toward the finish line! It's difficult and harrowing and it sure takes all you have, but where else would you give away your love? It'll go somewhere--I hope mine is poured out before a King, no questions asked.

Papa God, keep refining me. I know it will be difficult and there will be days that only by looking into your face will I have reason to go forward. I pray for your Power to be poured out, that I and all the people I work for will seek You and Your Kingdom and Your Righteousness with undivided hearts...it's the only way. I am awful, I judge people all the time without knowing their full story and I pray you will change me. Wherever you send me, let me bring You. Like Moses, I am just asking you to stay near me as you lead me into all the lands you promised to me. Please give me wisdom and favor to minister and thank you for the faith and love I have found in you that block out all the fear. I am little, but I am Your little girl.

You have me
You have me
You have my heart completely   --song that just finished playing by Gungor
