| The Lord has been doing amazing things in my life and has been ever showing me more and more His amazing and mighty hand of power. I am excited and nervous at the same time, but I know that I am following where God is leading me to go. I am leaving for Belize in November to go and serve Jesus my King. I pray that God will bestow a strength not of my own and a boldness that only comes from the Spirit who resides within. I ask for your prayers as I go in faith, knowing that the Lord will provide for all of my needs. As I look back through time, the Lord God Almighty, has provided everything He knew His children needed. Even within my short life He has proven himself faithful, not always in my own preferred way but in His own wisdom has given what I needed in that point of time. So as I look back at the past I find strength and confidence to press forward through the now, and as I look forward to the end of time as revealed in Scripture, I find hope for endurance through the walls of today. The Lord is great, and worthy of all praise and honor and glory.
I would like to say farewell to those I leave behind. It is my prayer that the Lord is touching your life in an amazing ways, even as we speak. I thank you for your friendship, however long it may have been. I love all of you and will miss you as I leave. Glory be to God on High.

| King Jesus, Lord, my precious Savior
may your name and renown be my very heart beat
Oh let the peoples praise you
Let them lift your name above all else
It is for that reason I live
It is for your glory that I exist
May Your name be ever on my lips
For you are King, and you reign on high
All glory and honor be to you.
For there is none like you
Who else stretched the heavens across the sky
calling each star by name
Who else turns the ocean and rages the storms
Who called forth into the darkness and brought forth light
Who created even the tiniest of creatures
those to which even the eye fails to see.
Who with but a whisper
can shake the mountains and cause the earth to tremble
Who can command the winds
and shut the mouth of the beast?
Only You Lord, creator of heaven and earth
For you are mighty and You reign with power
O Lord, may your name never leave my lips
Open the doors that I might go
proclaiming your name to the peoples
KING JESUS,
KING OF KINGS
THE HOLY ONE
LIGHT OF THE WORLD
SOVEREIGN GOD!!!

| Holy Father, All glory be to you and your name
For you are the only one worthy of praise.
To you I lift me voice
And to the nations I cry out that they may know You
May all the peoples praise you
May this be our one and only desire
To be consumed by You
And to run at full speed where ever you lead us to.
Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God Almighty
The earth is filled with His glory! | | |
| There are times when the only thing your heart seems to say is...
"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
--Matthew 27:46b
It is in these times, these places of darkness,
When from the bottom of a pit
One's soul breathes it's last
And in that moment, as vision blurs
And the dim light grows even more faint
In that brief moment of weightlessness
It is then that the voice finally speaks
uttering the most beautiful words of peace...
"Never will I leave you
never will I forsake you"
--Deut. 31:6
Thank you, Lord. Thank you!
"So we say with confidence,
"The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?""
--Hebrews 13:6 | | |
| There are somethings worth fighting for, worth waiting for...love is
one of those things that you must battle yourself to continue, and wait
upon the Lord's strength to bring to fullness. For apart from the
power and blood of Christ, true love is not possible. Apart from
God it is only out of selfish gain. We are to do nothing out of
selfish ambition but in everything consider others better than
ourselves. Therefore love! truly love, There is no greater love
than this, that a man should lay down his life for a friend.
So... through the power and strength of the Lord Jesus Christ... love
each other, and set all things aside... battle that inner cry to just
give up on everyone and fight for the love Christ offers. And
when there are those who stand against you, when the journey looks as
if it has reached it's end, when the foe seems bigger than your will to
push forward...look within.... for there within you is a mighty Saviour
who will go before you, who will claim you as one of His, who will lift
you up out of the mire and will spark a love that is beyond all other
loves. A love that looks past the hatred of the one
standing apposed, and says, I will love you, no matter what you throw
at me. This is the love that Christ had for us, for it was in
that very moment as we murderously slaughtered an innocent man, that he
loved us so much that he allowed himself to die, taking on all the
shame, and all the sin that we have committed and are yet to
commit. This is the love we ought to hold all people in, even
those who hate the very air we breathe, what greater love could we
show, but to love them as they walk us to the slaughter house.
But isn't this impossible?... not at all, for Christ the one who bore
so much for us out of pure love, lives within those who belong to
Him. And so there is this love already residing in us because it
resides in Christ who is in us, and so we also have this love, and the
capability to love. This is a love that we ought to fight for, a
love that through time will come even more naturally to us. For
if our focus is on Christ and if our lives center around living for
Him, than our thoughts and attitudes towards those who are against us
will become the desires of Christ. And we are transformed as we
renew our minds in Him daily, offering ourselves before His thrown and
striving to sacrifice our whole selves for Him.
All glory and honor and power, be to the Lord of hosts....King Jesus!
