"...suddenly I turned around and she was standing there with silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair. She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns - "Come in", she said "And I'll give you shelter from the storm"

A new start



Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine,we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."

A new blog. - somehow the setting up and starting afresh is overwhelming. - like starting from scratch on a new language or a new instrument when you’re already fluent in another. - daunting. I look at my xanga though - and it just seems like old news…no matter how many times I update it. SO. …a new blog it is. =)

Guatemala beckons once more. Hermano Pedro’s children. The beggar boys on the street. The little mayan girls with their colorful clothes - beauty that covers the harshness of their lives. I love it there. I love how God clears allll distractions away and speaks to me there. This trip is shaping up to be aMAZING! - we’re taking down around 40 people this time around …crazy big number - crazy anointed group. I’m more excited about this trip than I have been about other trips in a looong time. It’s time to return. And somehow this time I’m hungrier than usual to stay. I love the rawness I find there. So excited to be able to be with my Mel again as well. Nothing like ministry alongside that woman ....and sister time is ALWAYS a plus!! =) I'm just ready....again - it's been too long since the last time I was there. ...too long.

I'm in *that* place again. The place where you find yourself at the end of one season... and yet not quite upon the next - and you're not quite sure WHAT exactly that next season holds ...but it's there - and it's calling .... God's timing is perfection - I trust him without doubt - not patiently by ANY stretch ... but still I know to trust Him. Especially after this past year - He's absolutely led me through so much, assuring me that I can trust Him all the while - so I chose to - and He did exceedingly, abundantly, above anything and everything that I could have asked for. So I know. I can trust. I love Him so much. He's everything there is.
