Faithful and True

Hi everyone, 
So it's summertime now and school is out!!! And that means lots of fun and lots of Jesus time. :) One thing the Lord has been stiring in my heart is the hope and the future and the plans He has for me. Right now I feel I'm at a point similar to Elizabeth in the bible where she is pregnant with a promise that the Lord will give her a son. The Lord has shown himself faithful and I know he will fulfill the desires of my heart, maybe not in the way I would think or the timing I would hope for but if I know one thing about my Daddy it's that he is Faithful and True. He has never forsaken me nor will He ever and for that I am so thankful. I stand on the promises the Lord has given me and in that I find everlasting hope! I can't wait for God's plans to unravel I know its such a fun crazy beautiful adventure waiting to happen...so here I am God send me! and let go on a unpaved and unknown adventure together!

The Beauty of a Wasted Life

Hi everyone,
So right now I am reading for the 2nd time an absolutely amazing book called Love Has A Face by Michelle Perry. This book is incredibly moving and stirs many things in my spirit. I thought I would share part of it with you -keep in mind I do not own any of this-

The Beauty of a Wasted Life:
She spent her life earning a living by selling false love to any who would buy it. But the Man before her know was different. He looked past her reputation, to her very soul. His eyes held no agenda, no desire to use her. They probed the deepest crevasses of her pain, but she saw no loathing, no hatred, no condemnation. How could this be? She saw only compassion and mercy, mingled with sadness at what He knew she suffered.

She looked away. She did not know what to do in the face of Love that held no guile or hidden motive. Yet her gaze drew back to this Man they call Teacher. Her heart compelled her. Could it really be true? One more time their gazes locked. She could not look away again, even if she tried. How could she return even a drop of the ocean of love in which He washed her with that day?

It was inappropriate to be sure. It was in the middle of an important dinner in which she had no invitation. And it was not in the proper manner. She could scarcely believe she had just barged into the middle of the room. It was absolutely undignified. Yet she was compelled by His love. She washed His feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

It cost her everything: every shred of dignity and a year's wages gone in an instant as she poured out her precious perfume. Did they know how this aroma had been earned? She shuddered at the thought. But it was fleeting. The look in His eyes again captured her heart. The room disappeared. The jeering looks and accusations faded as He filled all her vision.

Wasteful, indignant extravagance poured over this Man, the only Man who ever showed her the face of Love. How could she not pour out her everything on Him?

Love out poured overtook the gathering. The fragrance of intoxicating, overpowering adoration that gave all it had and risked all it was, filled the room. Inappropriate. Indecent. Scandalous. Wasteful.

But Jesus- what did He do? He accepted it. He defended it. He applauded it. He cherished it. He recorded it for all time.

So the question is....Can one glance, I thought one encounter with Him so change your life? Can one meeting with this Man Jesus be so dangerous that you would gladly lose your reputation for one more moment in His presence? Is it so possible to be so in love that your life wasted in worship makes history?


Ok wow! Need I say more? There is such truth in this story! Lord grant me the courage of Mary...give me a heart willing to step out and at times look foolish. God give me a heart that moves Yours!

There is no house like my father's house:

Ok so today is Sunday with means I got to go to Abba's house today! I love love love going there and melting in the presence of my Lord! I really want to discover what Psalm 27:4 really means on a day to day basis. "One thing I ask of the Lord this is what I will seek that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and seek Him in His temple." Lord, that's my longing! That's all I live for to know You more!

Another thing that has really been on my mind lately is the life of King David. He just blows me away sometimes. My mind can't really comprehend how he did all he did. He united a nation and ruled over a powerful kingdom, but yet his first insinct was to go hang out in the tabernacle in the House of the Lord, the House of Prayer. I often times struggle with how to walk in a place of sweet communion with the Lord in the day to day and how to have his life flow out of me in the workplace or at school. And then I look at David and see that he ruled an entire nation and still walked in that place of surrender each and every day. Oh God give me incite as to how to obtain that! I love you Abba!

In the Days to Come

What will a whole generation marked by God look like? Hmm we will look like the One who made us! Oh Abba Father what a great time to be alive, to have breath and life in my body. I can't wait for You to come back with fire in Your eyes and Justice in your heart. Oh I long for the day I get to eat at your feasting table. Oh I long for the day when I get be in a great multitude of people crying Holy Holy Holy! Oh i wait for that day in eager expectation...this is my inheritance to be where you are and dwell with You. This is my destiny...what I was created for to have ever-flowing praise flow from my lips and praise you all the days of my life! Jesus give me a taste of that...just a moment...just a glimpse
