7 Layers of Nail Polish

Love is…. * 7 layers of nail polish from little girls who make you feel beautiful * A whispered "te quiero mucho" in your ear * A sweet smooch on the cheek and little hands that caress your face * Delicate fingers that run through your hair and smooth it away from your forehead * Swinging in a hammock and talking about life * Having 24 hands placed on you and have strength spoken through them * Walking down the dusty path to the pump to fill up your bucket and lose half of the water on the way back * Cooking 2 hot meals a day and packing sandwiches for lunch * Sharing a coke...

Break my heart for what breaks Yours.

The first few days here were a little hard for me, having expectations of what I thought we might be doing. Those expectations were broke really quick, along with my heart…. Idk what God was planning for me, or how He might use me here; but after two weeks I may have a small idea. God is using me for love! Pure unconditional love… not the fake kind, but the for real in your face kind of love! At my church back home, our motto is always. "real with God, real with each other, and real in the world." This motto has specifically spoken to me in the past week I have been...

I was expecting….

<p>I was expecting God to work in big ways in me and thru me, but I wasnt expecting it at training camp. As hard as it was, I learned a great lesson about Surrender but apparently I didnt learn it well enough.</p> <p>So after training camp I expected each day to be just as challenging and for it to be very evident to me what God was doing and His plan. i had expectations for the ministry we would be doing and I felt like we were just being good people. And then MY expectations werent being met and doubt was creeping in. And God said, "Chill out Sweetheart (because...

Today was our first free day, and we spent it at a beautiful beach. It was so nice to have a little break, and just spend the day having great conversations and a lot of fun. Soooooooooooooooo:...

A 3 weeks dose of Holy Spirit

Over the past couple of weeks God has done so much in my soul. I departed from my house in Memphis on January 2 to spend the next 4 days worshipping God at a conference called Passion. I spent the next 96 hours full of the Holy Spirit. I was high on the spirit and loved every moment of it. The theme of Passion 2012 was freedom and while I was there God brought me so much freedom. He taught me more about walking in freedom and spoke identity into me. He told me who I was in Him and who He created me to be. It is amazing to be the son of a king! He is absolutely amazing if you don’t...

Ask and you shall receive

What an incredible Promise! This is no teaser. Read it. And then receive it. "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." Matthew 7:7 There are no maybes in there. Beautiful. I think this relationship is going to be great because I dont want any maybes about Gods love for me and He definitely doesnt want any maybes from me. Okay, so how can I share that with the Spanish speaking Ninos? Te amo? Nice to hear but maybe they hear it too much and dont actually receive it. How can I actually share and show love without...
