By now I should know not to be surprised by what God does in my life.  I can look back at the countless times He has intervened in my circumstances.  When I decide to follow his lead and I draw near to him, He ROCKS me.  The first time I started saying yes to every opportunity God offered happened close to 7 years ago.  I came back from a mission trip to Nicaragua with a bunch of teens, THE TRIP WAS AWESOME!  This trip brought about my healing process. I was dealing with the loss of my mom and battling my emotions with God. Returning to the USA I told Jesus I would say yes to any opportunity he presented. I should have known better, but seriously I came back and started to say yes and it was wild.  I was asked to be the main speaker for a kids camp for that upcoming summer.  I said yes!  Here I was preparing for camp and God says wait, before you start speaking to kids about me I want you to do something you said you would never be able to do and I ended up speaking for the first time about Jesus, to a crowd of 27 women at Agape’s Women’s Ministry the Sunday before I started camp.  This was me relying upon the Holy Spirit completely because these women were broken, hurt and most court ordered to be there.  There was no way a smile and a few jokes would get me through this.  When I tell you that our Lord showed up and filled the room and the Holy Spirit took a hold of my words, God Moved!

Now, fast forward to this year and the past few weeks.  Life has been crazy, dark and somewhat chaotic and I haven’t been going to church for the past couple years, well very rarely.  I have been battling my demons, the church, the job and trying to do it all on my own and getting pummeled.  Finally, with the introduction of a new face I found myself smiling more. I realized God knows how to make us smile when we need it the most.  Then  about two weeks ago I attended a worship night at my church.  It was amazing and I ended up speaking to my friend, who is also my Pastor. That night while he was hugging me I heard God say, ” this is your home!”  Within that time and this past month and a half, I have done a beautiful little baby funeral which no words can describe the heaviness, was offered to do a wedding, and just this past Sunday was asked to be a camp speaker again at Kids Camp.  When God says come as you are, he means it and when he needs you he will call on you.  He will call you to do things you said you would never do and he will humble you and let you know that He Is God!  I feel him moving and I am taking every thought captive. This allows the Holy Spirit to rest on me to give me the peace in knowing that my life is not my own! It is truly not about me, because Jesus is all about me, therefore I can pour all of me into those that need me and trust that he will keep my cup overflowing! Amen

One Love, One King, All Christ!
