spirit lead me where my trust is without borders

You call me out upon the waters, the great unknown where feet may fail. And there I find You in the mystery in oceans deep, my faith will stand……..Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders, let me walk upon the waters wherever You would call me. Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander and my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my Savior.                                         So many times in life we pray that The Lord would guide us...

Not what I expected

I grew up the daughter of two teachers. I always expected to graduate high school and go to college, maybe a state school, and do the whole 'start working, get married, have babies and a family' thing. But I've learned over and over again that God doesn't do expectations. He doesn't go for that. He's got this thing for completely, totally changing people's lives. He has a thing for completely surprising us with something even greater than we ever had planned. But it is so hard to let Him. It is so hard to surrender all of our plans, all of our expectations, to...

Prepared?

  They say to be prepared for the worst, and hope for the best. I have something better. His name is God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. He has gone before me and paved the way ahead. Even though it has been paved, after time, bump's and potholes appear. The devil may jump in front of us and try to obscure the view of the beautiful things God has laid out before us, but it's still there. It may be just out of reach but soon enough it will be ours. We just need to focus on Jesus and His will. After all Jesus has already defeated the enemy and holds the key to death!...

I’ve finally found where I belong

It’s not about where you are, or what you’re doing. It’s not about whom you’re with, or what you see in front of you; a sunrise or a blank page. It’s about his love. It’s about being completely wrapped up in his love. It’s about being delighted in and marveled at. It’s about being forgiven and adored. It’s about being in the presence of a Father who sets you free, and looks at you with love and says “Darling, my beautiful one, arise and come away with me.” And that’s when you take his hand and put so much trust in him...

From Africa to the Moon and Back

About a month before I came to Africa I experienced the most intimate moment with the Lord during a drive back to my apartment. I was coming home from a Wesley service on a Wednesday night where we had experienced an awesome worship session. Wesley is a ministry through the University of Georgia that acts as a launching pad for missions oriented leadership. I was listening to one of my favorite worship songs and driving by myself, reminiscing on the year that had passed. I remember I was coming up to a bridge I always go under on the way back home and looking up at the rich dark night...
