Let's Go

By -
I heard a really touching quote not too long ago. It resonated deeply in my spirit. I just cried. It concisely and powerfully put language to what I also believe, value and the timing of it was beautiful. A well known worship leader said this, "I want to mother a generation because the difference is, an incredible leader can point you in the right direction, but a mother and father will walk you all the way home." 

 Even in the midst of all that is taking place in our nation, the world and planet earth right now, I am filled with hope, great expectation and anticipation. I anxiously await for what God is going to do in and through his willing and available sons and daughters. Count me in! I am ready, let's go. I do believe I am stepping into a new season, chapter. Although my children are still little (age 7 and 4), our pace and rhythm has definitely shifted and there is more margin in our life right now as they become more independent. While they will always be my first ministry and disciples, I still very much look forward to the possibilities and especially for what God has in store for me. I am really curious to see how it all unfolds! Having said that, I have also made peace with the possibility that my future may not look drastically different than my current day to day schedule and I may not be fully engaged with "hands on" ministry. And I'm okay with that. Because it's all still ministry. I just want to experience more intimately, directly and with my own eyes this incredible move of God. And it's already happening! 

 It's an exciting time to be alive and a Christ follower. God is awakening, reviving, regenerating, renewing, doing a new thing. Let's goooooooooooooo.  
Look, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:19

Surprise

By -
Surprise! I am not a fan of surprises. Absolutely no. Clarification. I am not a fan of surprises that are not good. In other words, I only like favorable, wanted, and pleasant surprises that work for me. Otherwise, I'll pass. No thanks. I'm not too fond of the feeling of being unprepared. I like to predict and curate how I respond. I don't want to be caught off guard. Yes, I have control issues. But as I dig deeper, I think my "need" to control stems from fear. I don't like unpredictable circumstances. I don't do well with awkwardness. And I don't particularly navigate uncomfortable situations with grace or poise.  However, I'm learning life is one big surprise! So if I want the good from the unexpected, I must also be willing to accept and embrace everything in between.  In my quest to insulate myself from discomfort or pain, and avoidance of situations or taking risks that could possibly subject myself to hard things, could I possibly be disadvan...

The Light

By -
Over the last two weeks, the word "light" was mentioned three times by three different people, and each time, I was in the headspace of thinking of our pending transition. It's not a word that is typically used or expected, in my opinion, especially in light of the context. The word choice and frequency were significant enough to catch my attention each time. So naturally, I'm inquiring and asking the Lord, what does it mean to me and my situation?  I'm still musing over it. But for now, it's given me encouragement, confidence, and enough strength to keep moving forward in faith and trust - especially in the face of the uncertainty, the mystery, and tasks to get us from "here to there."  As I type this, it's taking one day and one step at a time - towards the light. So while I do not know all of the steps and how they will all ultimately work out, I can have peace and assurance in the steps I am taking.  For me, "follow the light, keep walki...

Moving Forward

By -
Moving forward is a choice. For those who have decided to follow Jesus, there is no other viable option. We must keep moving forward in Him and in faith.  We have been given everything we need for godly living and to run our race. We have direct access to grace and resurrection power because greater is He who lives in us than he who is in the world. It might be a fight, an uphill battle, but if we would not fail or falter but keep pressing forward, we'll see the victory in Jesus. Fear is a liar. Don't let the angst of uncertainty or the obstacles you see deter or discourage you. Dig deep, and stay in the game!  How do we run our race with endurance, longevity, and fruitfulness?  We run after the Father with hearts of surrender, open hands, and no ulterior motive or agenda of our own but to obey and be about the Father's business. Our obedience is not rooted in fear, obligation, or some pro-quid tactic.  It's rooted in love, gratitude, and adoration towards a loving a...
