Knock

Simplicity. It’s not easy, but it’s simple. I love that.

All or nothing, and it’s becoming all. That is so exciting.

I am tired, but just from the footmen. How will I contend with horses? They are coming.

I am weak, yep.

God is strong, yep.

God’s love is brutal. He loves me even when I don’t love Him. Amazingly unfair. I react to that, and what follows is what people call Christianity.

God is good. So good. He loves me. That is unchangeable.  He is sovereign. He won’t let go of me. God is so good!

My mind is blown trying to think about it. Creator of the universe, and He minds me.

Unfathomable. Yet approachable. Thank you Jesus.

I am being drawn closer. And I am drawing closer. He is relentless. Fantastically relentless.

God is so excited for my most boring days. There’s a perspective shift.

God can heal my vision. Both my literal eye sight and my poor way of seeing things.

God provides. It’s true. Look at the birds.

He knocked and I let Him in.

Thanks, Phil

The other day I was pretty antsy. I still can’t put my finger on what happened; I tend to find myself at such amazing peace that’s a gift from God – and I usually can run to Him and find that if I’m not at peace – but the other day I was pretty dang [...]

Letting God Love Me

It’s a whirlwind of things. I feel like I may have crashed big time at times, but then Jesus reminds me of His goodness and how He’s really right here with me and I am then confident that I cannot fall so far down that He can’t pick me up.
That goes for a lot of [...]

Coming home is such a good thing. God has done so much that I now get to share with all of my friends and family. And my sister gets to do the same now that she is home from her adventure. Likewise for my parents; God has been at work at home just as much. [...]

DTS is over. I am home at my kitchen table. I was just in Montana. I was just in Thailand. What the heck.
It is indeed good to be home. It’s good to be with my parents again. I haven’t hung out with many friends yet. I’ll take it slow getting adjusted to life at home.

Well, five days till I’m on the other side of the planet. That’s crazy. Am I excited? Heck yes.
The thought of going around the world makes me realize how crazy my life has become. God’s plans for me are much bigger than my own. He’s gonna put me in situations where I will quite literally [...]

This week has been a reality week thus far. Also, sort of along the same lines, a week of realizing how crazy my life has gotten and how crazy it’s gonna be. A bit overwhelming, yet totally exciting.
I would not have not believed God would use me like He’s told me He will if I [...]

I don’t have to see or feel what God is doing to know that He is moving and working. If I’m being obedient, I can be sure that He is working in and through me. That’s cool. Really cool.
Last night some of the musicians from DTS went and played a gig and did some ministry [...]

Yesterday I had every intention of taking a nap from three to five. Instead I climbed a mountain.
I’m not kidding either. It was quite the adventure. Unexpected. David and I just borrowed some bikes and wanted to ride cause it was a really nice day. We ended up doing a bit more than that. God [...]

My ships are burnt. I cannot go back to the way I was.  I have realized too much of who God is and how much He loves me to ever do that.
Psalm 8: 3-4 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in [...]
