Standing Taller



This season has been nothing i expected and beyond anything imagined.  Since i last posted, i had gone to Portugal and had a marvelous experiance in traveling (especially Old Portugal), meeting new people, eating good food, participating in a conference which was definatly mind and heart blowing.... life is so full and rich
 
Thinking, the greatest gift is to serve others - it looks different all the time but through this humble yet confident act of love, paradise is restored in the hearts of others, yourself, we dont usually see how big of an impact it carrys out... 

the last 6 months i have been living in community, being poured into by many selfless men and women who sacrifice MUCH; for our generation to be the generation that choses YES in our spirit to go and be the change we desire in this world -  
i have served many and in many ways i have been given such grace... i am so thankful that i am showing up for my own life, because there is a whole lot of need in this world and i declare to be one that choses YES !
 
Thank you for taking this wild ride with me these past ... months and months of transforming, refining, etc. -  Now strongly moving forward ....
THERE IS MUCH MORE TO COME ...
 
*in LOVE

HEBREWS 12:11-13





" At the time, all discipline seems a cause not for joy but for pain, yet later it brings the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who are trained by it.  So strengthen your drooping hands and your weak knees.  Make straight paths for your feet, that what is lame may not be dislocated but healed." 
 
 
without  that no one will see the LORD, HIS LOVE, HIS AMAZING GRACE -  please operate out of life, as if you are always in HIS presence.... because you are!
Life here has been so busy and impacting with

 teachings
 > plunging into the Tabernacle of David
 (brilliant choice of life) as well as HIS everlasting Covenant
 
 serving different communities  
> investing further into the vision of G42 , choising to give more of my time and efforts for those involved and attending at the soup kitchen
 
Knowing i KNOW GOD
> HE gives me information that evolves into head and heart revelation within me so that i can then give it as impartation because it was by HIS love & grace HE was incarnated in me and resulting in a beautiful  transformation
 
Living From APPROVAL
> GOD truly loves me... its been indeed freeing !  Laughing with others & giving them love and HAVING FUN !!!  "GOD SPEAKS - LIFE HAPPENS" - Andrew Shearman 
honestly spending QUALITY time with the leadership team and my friends here has been making an imprint on my heart.  Realizing as much emphisis i put on relationships i wasnt fully stepping out in trusting that i can have it all... which i can - be succussfull in surpassing all the goals i desire whether they are in working, ministry or relationships...
> i have had great terrace side chats about life, played corn hole in good fun, eat delicious foods, getting dressed up to celebrate life, even getting thrown in the pool has brough so much fun into my days - i am truly blessed and in joy for what i am given and for what i am giving !!!  
 
There is so much more i want to share about my time here, going home then traveling into the next adventure of life... Uganda!   I must go for now but an update will be soon posted
 
* in LOVE always

Treasure LOVE



  So many times we desire comfort, guidance, strength and truth in a deeper way than we have it. Then those western thoughts begin turning in our minds of what can I do, what have I done wrong, do I need to pray more, should I just wait for something to happen?

 In Christ alone, we are in HIS wholeness and when HE physically left us HE gave us HIS Holy Spirit. Through this relationship a deeper intimacy will blossom and change the current life upside down. Living in a self actualization of HIS LOVE in YOU will bring forth the YOU that has been restlessly striving to become. Know that HIS Holy Spirit is the searcher of GOD of our hearts; who testifies that YOU are HIS child with great purpose in being created. HE is LOVE and all HE wants is to LOVE YOU! Your heavenly dwelling can be now on earth as it is in heaven, just ‘be' YOU and know that ...

"Now it is GOD who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come." 2Corinthians 5:5

GO to the TREE OF LIFE



This week GOD pursued me in such a way, He had done beautiful things in my heart-

The topic was COVENANT and what I truly gained was heart knowledge that GOD wants and has everlasting covenant with me...

This is not just something nice and pretty to say or think it may be so, it IS TRUTH and it is HEARTMELTING how HE has shown me well before my physical existence that all of this was for me, to receive HIS faithful LOVE. 

GOD bound Himself to me by HIS choice...

Parts in covenant= promise/terms, agreement/oath:

                            Words blood & seal

 

Encouragement... keep saying YES !

Something that I am marveled by every time, the beautiful creation of a TREE...

They remind me much about family, trust, truth, confidence and to me this and my last season of life, love – which then leads me to COVENANT, with a joyful YES in my Spirit  

... If you ever need to find me I will be at the tree of life

~ in love

LOVE GIVES



 
The last few days I have been thinking a lot about
 what is to come in my life
 where I am now in preparation
 and what I had worked through to get here
Who I was, is not who I am and thanks to GOD is not who I will be.

GOD promised me beautiful blessings

HE will NEVER LEAVE me...

ŕ        I am His partner

ŕ        I am a leader

ŕ        I will be a wife to a man of GOD

ŕ        I will be a mother to the nations

"Do not fear, I am with you" Isaiah 41:10

 

The Word became flesh in me-

GOD made me/my life with great purpose. Saturated in joy for the GOD that I am honored to have; chasing onto the future that HE has presented to me, this is a vision rapidly becoming more than a plan in action!    

By LOVE grace and mercy, GOD chose to originate covenant extending it to us. We can choose to accept or not. Not only discovering more of the CHRIST in me but also what my everlasting covenant with GOD is. 

Think about what it means to you - 

* LOVE * PURPOSE * COVENANT * CHOICE * GOD *

- Words with GREAT meaning

In the direction that I am headed, much perseverance is needed as is a support base. I want to share with you just part of the journey ahead...

Following CHRIST ...




Let me start by apologizing for my recent lack of blogging and for my shallow ways of keeping you informed and apart of this journey.   We need each other and I personally need to give more of myself to each of you especially while I am physically away. 

Much has gone on in my life this past month and I am going to share this all with you. 

My first term practicum was a HUGE success ! I planed activities for the G42 community each day; some whole group and others intentional small group activities. In this week I really learned with heart knowledge many things that I already was aware of but not fully believing about myself. Predominately my natural gifts that I walk in because that is how GOD created me to be are:  loving, encouraging, hoping, praying and serving others. Having confidence that GOD created me to be specifically the person I am has given me that extra strive for stepping forward into new directions of leadership. I began teaching an introductory class on American Sign Language, extended my basic skills of sewing to alter clothing, curtains, etc. and finding ways that I personally can take responsibility by giving myself to the good of our G42 family. 

Also this past month, we worked on our VISION for what is GOD calling for our lives- 

 

PLEASE continue reading through this next segment may be like a rollercoaster ride at least that's how it felt inside. Even today, though I have peace, GOD totally amazes me at HIS ABUNDANT LOVE for me; still I haven't grasped the full meaning. 

While on the race GOD revealed many things to me about my own life. One of which I felt that I would at some point minister in South America. When I needed to work on my vision project, I didn't really know what exactly my life's calling was. I knew that out of the three main directions (business, preaching and ministry) many may work in I was called to working in ministry. Narrowing it down I chose to do my project on planting a care point in South America. My presentation went well enough, received feedback and encouragement on what I presented, but I knew deep within that something just wasn't right. Because time is short here I knew I wanted this to focus on my next direct season in life, and honestly I just knew that South America was not my next direct season of life. Also, where I am now is priceless to my future. In order to best prepare myself for a ministry of my own one day, I need to apprentice with someone that I can learn from in developing skills from practice and impartation. I want this to be someone who is likeminded spiritually and ethically, someone who I respect and trust, and someone who has achieved in my opinion a great scale of breaking ground in this field.

Up to this point, learning from and diving into trusty relationships with the leadership, expressing my desires for life and what that looks like in reality and just enjoying who they are as people, their stories and fellowship with them had become solid. I had grown apart of this family without a doubt. In our houses with fellow interns, relationships had been blossoming, individually they all look different and at the end of the day I know that 20 something peers love me and have my back.

 

The day I met George-

As we have had many guest speakers George Ridley, International Director ofLight Force International (www.lightforce.org.uk) blessed us for a week of hard questioning, intense assessment of ourselves and the real deal of planting our visions. 

George (we are on a first name basis) is a brilliant man who has begun major ministries and businesses in those countries to support the ministries. Well, upon working together George and I were able to have a few meetings where we talked in detail about his base in Lira Northern Uganda, Africa. That site has various care points that they travel to each week and stay to minister to the needs in that area of the bush. The team, compiled of different skill, has a 3week rotation, covering a wider spectrum and catering to a larger population. 

This base in Lira Northern Uganda, Africa is my next season of ministry ! ! ! 

They focus on the community of children with disabilities, deaf, sick and abandoned. I am going back to Africa to do what I naturally am gifted in to use the many skills I have acquired knowing I am fully equipped in a place that I have always had a heart for... does it get better, YES it does !

To begin, this would start as a 3 month commitment – projecting September through December, providing a short term submersion, starting with the potential for further partnership. This provides time before to prepare in excellence and reconnect with family/friends and even having time after for the holidays. This is a credible ministry that seems as though it was designed for me.  

The leadership here has been beyond supportive and I wouldn't want to be under any other headship; I trust and know that they will stand by me where ever GOD takes me. I want to see more of the CHRIST formed in me and whether I am here or not, GOD loves me with a love that I truly don't even understand and HE will continue to melt me being ever present. 

We will be beginning a new transition into our second term and I know that GOD is speaking to me in this time, allowing me to be peacefully still with HIM – knowing HE is GOD. I will continue to ‘receive' and ‘believe' as HE carries me through. 

~ in LOVE

GOOD DAYS OF CONTENTMENT



 

The last few days we have had a great deal of course work to tackle, taking extra- curricular activities, diving into one another and working in different ministries....

In class we have been diving into scripture, discussing what ‘church' is biblically called to be & for today what that looks like.   The Later sessions have consisted of a modern look at marketing your mission calling through media and finances... what continues to amaze me is that I am able to learn and sit in on these lectures/collaborations with such brilliant men of GOD who have had, by HISgrace, great success and are now passing on this wealth of knowledge to me. I am so genuinely humbled to be living this life. 

Extra-curricular activities have been enjoyed. We build on our computer/internet knowledge, domestic skills (even learned how to knit), and a bit of Spanish. My favorite is probably Wednesday nights when we learn different forms of dancing- my favorite is salsa dancing - GREAT FUN ! 

Community fellowship has been a blessing in many ways; and as most things that are most rewarding in life- requires true effort. My fellow interns are passionate, loving & strong in their walk and compassionate, fun & trusting in a growing friendship.

The ministry (outside of our G42 community) in our local area, mainly consist of the soup kitchen and the pub right now, and later in the week I will have those stories ready to share with you. There is a great deal ahead and I will then share with that...  

I am realizing that one month is approaching and I just know that I want more – we are called to live in HIS abundance - becoming that daily !   In those moments when the world's reality hits me; I recall:

I saw, I heard I know what pain that is on the mission field – I can not and I will not be silenced and I will DO something about it! With no hesitation I will go and be cut to the soul for freedom. The faces & stories of hope, strength, courage ... LOVE is the most worthy cause

1 Corinthians 15: 10 . . . .



 
Winter Interns 2010
. . . . " But by the grace of GOD i am what i am, and HIS grace to me has not been ineffetive.  Indeed, I have toiled harder then all of them; not i, however, but the grace of GOD that is with me. "
 
it has been said -             ' its better to have loved and lost than  never loved at all '   same idea is transfered into your faith - 
            " ITS BETTER TO HAVE BEEN LOST & THEN FOUND, THAN TO NEVER HAVE BEEN LOST AT ALL "  
GOD is so SOVERIGN & LOVING ... Follow HIM and HE will make YOU ( that is TRUTH ) 
 
HERE in MIjas, Spain at the academy of G42 i have recently been engaging in most EVERYTHING ABUNDANTLY (as we are called to). 
HOW has GOD equipted me? 
in so many ways i see how i am part of the BODY...
bold * confident * gentle * compassion * mercy * bounded in faith & truth * undivided * whole * integrity * stepping out * listening to GOD's voice * GO * BE * LOVE * praise & thanks * fullness to power * dying to myself * speaking out LIFE * producing HIM * secure in HIM * leading * responsibility * JOY *
... this is becoming more real to me as i live a more GOD driven life.
 
Looking at my desires in the natural, modern and spiritual -  i am finding a more clear vision of my calling.
                           i am working on my 1st term practicum to serve locally, to be deliberate throughout the term in my gifting.  This has been and will be quite an adventure as i organize events/activities for FUN, fellowship and community!
       Random thought... just last week a bunch of us interns went hiking up the 2nd highest (i think) mountain in Mijas !  IT was beautiful and from the top we could look to the right and see the mountain rage of Morocco, Africa and to the left the snow caped mountains of somewhere in Europe !  I tried uploading the pictures for you all to see but experianced technical difficulties.... anyways to bring both of these points together, missions & adventure is what i enjoy the most and i know my time here will not only foster that into reality but it will provide a strong foundation for it - whatever "it" is to become my life's calling. 
GOD is so good, i know that i will have a revelation sooner than later what my mark on the world will look like ...
 
we have heard before that there is no substitue for VICTORY
and
 have realized that there is no substitute for BROKENESS ....
 and i know
 there is no substitute for GOD
   
                                                                                        MORE TO COME, FROM MIJAS SPAIN @ G42
 
 ~  in LOVE
