Wonder + Wonder.

Welcome to Uganda.  A lot has happened in the past few weeks and it has all been the Lord.  His wonders are being released upon this team and I am incredibly thankful to be a part of it.  We have prayed over the sick, declared healing, spoke life, drove demons out of a girl, preached in many churches, visited hospitals and a prison and it’s not even over.  Heck, I am thankful it’s not over.  At the end of the day you end up being extremely exhausted and drained but that doesn’t even matter because God gives you sweet peace and rest that you are right where you are supposed to be.  As hard as it is sometimes, all I want is more.  More of God and His Kingdom.  More depth. More passion. More responsibility. More freedom.  And He is bringing it.

God has given me crazy awesome opportunities in my short life and I am humbled and thankful.  He took me to the streets of New York City to love and be with the homeless.  He took me to Bolivia to be broken and wrecked for His Kingdom and realize His rescue.  He took me to Kenya to declare freedom and victory over past pain and shame and love and live as the poor, the thieves, the whores, and the possessed.  And it’s not over. Not for one second.  Wonders upon wonders?  I believe so.

Most of the time I want to just run into a field and scream my wrecked heart out due to seeing and experiencing His wonder and His character so much.  I don’t even understand Him a lot of the time and that’s alright.  His wonder can appear in a situation from where a child just draws it’s last breath as much as a child dancing in the hot rain.  It’s hard but God is faithful and has a purpose.  And I trust Him with every fibre of my being.  I suppose all I am trying to say is that God is lavishing His wonders on my heart and on this team.  He is holding us and taking us to the places we need to go.  Even when we don’t know why or if it’s uncomfortable. God has equipped this team with the right tools for each other and this place.  We are not inadequate.  We walk uncomfortably if it means learning something and experiencing more freedom from God.  

God quiets myself a lot of the time to listen and observe His glory.  I glance around to take in the faces of this team and my co-leader and I just see the Lords presence.  It’s wonder.  I see His joy and freedom  all around them and some of them don’t even know it.  But God is showing them and revealing Himself to them in more ways than they have ever experienced.  And I am proud and privileged to lead and push this team as well as myself to see His wonder upon wonder.  His heartbeat is here. And I feel it.  I really do.

This is a blab(that may or may not make sense) from an quiet and ordinary radical from Expeditions Team Two.  I love you.  I may not even know you but I love you.
