Can I go back now? Like, right now?

One of the hardest things for me to accept right now is the whole not being in India thing. Which is weird. It's been 5 months. Over that now. And yet everyday, there is still that hunger and that desire to be back there, storying the gospel with the most beautiful people I know.

Check out this video to see how God is moving....

And yet, and yet. I'm here. I'm here. Over 17,000 miles away from India. But wherever my feet are, that is my mission field. To proclaim His name. I want my feet to be beautiful, shod with the shoes of readiness to share the good news of Jesus Christ. Let it be, Lord. Let it be.

Return {velvet ashes link up}

To the one who stayed, and now must return, dear friend,  dear self, You didn't want to stay. Everything within you was ready to go. You were ready. Everything but your bags was packed: your heart, your calling, your identity—stowed away in the treasure boxes you found them in at first. Reburied like sand shuffled under waves of uncertainty, doubt, and the existential lie: did God really say? But you stayed. And even though sometimes you waffle and wonder, you know He asked you to. Every time you thought you heard conflicting words: stay, leave, you were really only hearing yourself. Until you could get away in the silence and the May stormy skies and the big white-down comforter to keep you warm. Then you could be still. Then you were silent. Then He spoke.  His words were crystal clear: I'm going to redeem all of it.  And He did, didn't He? I know you're feeling conflicted, confused over all these emotions: ready to leave, wanting to stay. A far, f...

A Mashed-up Montage of Mayhem. Aka, Life.

So, life has been crazy busy lately. I know everyone says that, but for real life. I'm a bit drained. But better now. I am currently finding peace right here right now. My heart is worshiping (now playing: "Forever Reign" by Hillsong...I'm on a Hillsong kick). My mind is at rest (between two tests already taken this morning, two more in the next 24 hours). His Word is being brought to my mind continually right now. His presence is here beside me, I am resting in His arms. Let me just blurb for awhile, about many different things. Philippians 2:17--"Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering up the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all." This phrase keeps coming to my mind. God is using me. I'm being transformed into His image, day after day. The veil has been removed. And I pray my face shines like Moses' did. But that people won't hide. But that God will draw them closer to Himself. Being p...

some stories

Today I read a job posting that said, "Applicant must love telling stories." YES. I wish could have immediately applied; however, I am still finishing school and looking at moving overseas as immediately as possible, provided the Lord not only opens the door, but pays for it to be opened. I can't doubt that He will, because I saw Him provide so abundantly for East Asia, but the figure I'm looking at is literally over 10 times larger (really?!), and that is terrifying. Excuse the rabbit trail. But it's real life. And He's holding it all in His hands. So, how about I take a different avenue now, and post some of my favorite photos from my trip on here, with a little story or two to go with each? Ok, here we go. This was our last big time sharing with college students, and I think it was one of my favorites. I shared the story of the symbolism of the candy cane, which I dreaded as I approached the trip, but my mom made sure I found the story and bought ...
