I'm in Love with Love...

It's really happening! My heart is beating outside my chest... I am more alive and more on fire and more filled with JOY then I have ever been in my entire life! I am in love with this man Jesus!! His Spirit is tangible! His presence is so sweet! I have been rocked by His tender mercies. I have been compelled by His kindness that leads me to repentance. I have been revived of soul! I have had vision renewed. My eyes have been opened! I hear His voice more clearly than I have ever heard! He has transformed me by the renewing of my mind. He has given me a heart transplant and exchanged my heart for His. He has turned my mourning into dancing. He gave me hope when I had none. He blotted out my past. He has given me a future and has spoken destiny and greatness over me. He loves me with a love that is irrefutable, unstoppable, irrevocable, undeniable, it can't be snuffed out, it can't be taken away. This love takes risks. This love always hopes, always perseveres, it never gives up on me, it never fails. This love is PERFECT. It casts out all fear, it casts off all restraint. This love is mature and makes me lack no good thing. This love has changed me from the inside out. This Love hung on a tree, died and rose for me. This Love compels me... to love.

Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. Romans 13:8

My Heart is in His Hands.

God is so good!!! He is faithful to my heart! He is faithful to the end! I am just over the half way mark of my outreach and I can't believe it! Time is literally flying by. This is by far one of the greatest experiences of my life! I am learning the importance of outreach. Its not just a period of time that I set aside just to do ministry and love people but it really is becoming a way I want to live my life. My goal at the end of this, is that it would be a cultivated lifestyle generated out of the place of intimacy with Jesus. Love responding to Love. I'm learning that God establishes his plans for me. He really knows me. He knows the ebbs and flows and my comings and goings. He knows everything. I want to live in the light as He is in the light. I don't want anything hidden. The enemy of our souls has no power when we are living in the light. In the light every lie is exposed, every weakness is made known. And the best part is, is that my King knows whats best for me. I love that! He knows what I need. He knows me. I may not know all the details of whats going to happen next or where I will live next or how provision will come in. I don't need to know that. Everything to the very last detail will be accounted for... Because He simply is that good. He is a great and mighty King!

I can tell you though what is on my heart...
I want to be apart of abolishing the sex trade industry, however that looks... and see the little girls and young women that have been taken from their homes and sold, brought back to the original design that the Lord intended over their lives.
Whether this is in Mexico, Orange County, Hawaii, Thailand... I want to go... first hand and rescue these ones.
I want to go to the nations... wherever the door would open, bringing as many young people with me that I can.
I want to continue living in community... IT'S THE BEST!!
Please pray with me that the Lord would bring clarity and understanding and that He would point me in the right direction.
