I thought I had a great way of starting my thoughts tonight.. haha and i get here, to this place and all i want i desire is to do sleep... One of my dear friends, Kecia has been wanting me to describe this new place that i'm in. The people, the surroundings, and honestly... i got nothin, no exciting stories, no crazy adventures, no crazy homeless stories. Just me, Jesus, a Spirit filled church, some amazing room mates, and a city... that seems to have no other person with their septum pierced and a large amount of older people who stare at is as if it had blinking red lights on the balls of my ring. :) haha ok maybe a little bit of exaggeration there :)
things are good, life is wonderful... hard to grasp sometimes, to realize that i'm in this place, completely broke with nothing more than a calling of Jesus saying that He would take care of me, and His provision has been more than i could as for already. He knows my need and my every heart's desire and craving and i believe that this summer there's going to be more to it than just working and scraping by. Believe that there's something truly extraordinary around the corner, the presents and surprises that my Jesus is throwing my way every new day, every new minute :)
Honestly, I hated it here the first few days and wanted nothing more than to get back into my car and drive to the safety of my adopted parent's house :) Something kept me here, and something will continue that constant battle to keep me grounded :) I'm not going to give in to the lies of the enemy, my God is bigger and stronger. More sufficient than the greatest job and life. I admit i don't always completely trust in it. But His grace is more than an ocean that gobbles me up in it. a warm blanket surrounds me and pulls me out of the ruins. There's got to be more to it than this? what's under the surface of this city that is so desperately in need of a Savior?
so all of that to say, i'm good. life will continue as normal. i have an interview tomorrow! praise Jesus. i believe He will provide :) please pray if you get the chance.... I am going to be spending my share of time in Ashland over this week and weekend! woo hooo! can not wait!! i miss all of my Washington family. more than anything. but look forward to praying for you each day, remembering the great times we've had, and the excited to tell you all our Jesus has done as the days go by! thank you for believing in me and sending me forth! I love you so very very much!
Here's a little something to leave you with tonight... i believe that Jesus is going to really start speaking to each of our hearts in a new way! so get ready!!! :
Where can I go Precious Lord
Courageous Savior?
Where all else fades away, the desperate cries of a nation broken, lost, and burning with an unquenchable fire and question of truth.
Jesus, do You see the broken?
the motherless child who craves attention from every boy she encounters?
By Your perfection, Your graphic, soul scraping display of affections towards us, Your imperfection laden children are perfected. Stripped of the generic, constricting, plastic bubble the world has created for our bodies.
Because Your blood stained sacrifice and perfection You have given less fortunate hope. Future. The freedom and complete Jesus breathed empowerment to dream, to walk through those dreams here on earth. Dreams of Justice. Life. where society rebukes the unwed mother. Love for those who experience nothing but a corrupted version of hope and sacrifice.
That every person will experience and be able to express the unexplainable extravagance of our white clothed bride.
----Good night folks. May Jesus rest on you and your household tonight... Expect the unexplainable :) and don't forget, Our Savior deserves all of the glory!
