it's official.

I am very blessed.
and I know it.
God has brought me to a place
of complete restoration.
it's glorious.

You know...
He doesn't keep anything from us.
Ever.
You just ask Him and He will show you
He will.

I asked Him
He showed me
He told me what my calling was
What He had for me before the foundation of the Earth.

So...
I stepped.
and the steps are being fulfilled.
Things that only my journal had heard me speak of
are coming to pass

I am about to embark of another area of my journey with God
It's a new home
a new country
a new language
a new job
a completely new season.

It's the beginning
of the rest
of my journey
here until
eternity.

God is good.

He tells me of a country
one that He holds dear
He shows me things He'd like to do
and all He's drawing near
He tells me of a people
that are written on His hands
and shows me a disciple
that's going to shake the lands
He tells me of broken people
that soon will be of not
for I am to share the love
of Christ with all the lost
"So I will go", I say
"into this place
so far away
but not unless You come
and lead me on
until it's time to ride away"

Ecuador-here I come.

The Great Commission is not an option to be considered; it is a command to be obeyed

Quotie

A congregation that is not deeply and earnestly involved in the worldwide proclamation of the gospel does not understand the nature of salvation." - Ted Engstrom

Reach.

I used to want an easy life.
I wanted to settle down with an attractive husband and raise a few kids.
I wanted to be able to stay at home.
I wanted a nice house with a two car garage...and a dog.

Then I met Jesus.
Then I wanted an easy life.
Then I still wanted to settle down with an attractive husband who loved God.
Then I wanted to stay home and raise my children to be godly men and women.
Then I wanted a nice house with a two car garage...and a dog...and maybe a few kids to help.

Then I got to know Jesus.
Then I wanted nothing to do with the things of this world.
Then I surrendered my right to get married, have children, be comfortable and choose 'yes' or 'no'.
Then my blind eyes were open to those living without homes and to children dying from disease
...or worse...
hunger.
Then I wanted to make a difference.

Now...I put on Jesus.
Now I walk in my authority and do not choose the passing pleasures of this life.
Now I look forward to glory and hearing my Father say, "well done!"
Now I change the world.
Now I speak light boldly into the darkness and truth where the enemy is raging.
Now...I share life.

If you are still at the "I wanted" (s)... watch this:

And get to know your Maker...and His heart. <3
