“I believe that in each generation God has “called” enough men and women to evangelize all the yet unreached tribes of the earth… Everywhere I go, I constantly meet with men and women who say to me, “When I was young, I wanted to be a missionary, but I got married instead.” Or, “My parents dissuaded me,” or some such thing. No, it is not God who does not call. It is man who will not respond!” —Lord, please i don’t ever want this to happen, where i would be too wrapped up in comfort and stability that i would forget what its like to have You has my pearl of great prize, my hidden treasure. teach me to be ready to count everything else as loss compared to the surpassing knowledge of gaining Christ, ready my heart to be adorned for You. to pursue Christ single mindedly, full heartedly.

“You Know Me” - Bethel (the Loft Sessions)

“Whether or not it’s a good or bad decision, shouldn’t be determined by the outcome. Sometimes you make a good decision, but don’t see the fruit of it. Because we live in such a fast paced society, we want our decisions to be answered and rewarded. God is teaching me to make the right decision, because it’s right. Then it’s God’s job to do what he wants about it.” —Brian Johnson (via deebella123)

to work to reap eternal rewards in heaven with Christ.

My heart is breaking right now.
For injustice against someone so close to my heart.
I can’t tell if this anger is right or not, but I do feel it.
I feel physically helpless at the moment.
But my spirit is still strong.
And so I crumble at the foot of my Savior’s cross, and I weep and I cry out and I hold on to His promise.

If our Father takes care of the birds in the air, how much more will he take care of this child. Because in God’s eyes, this child is worth everything.
I am confident in His goodness.

You are good when there is nothing good in us.
You see us when we sit here in our brokenness. And you love us just the same.
When we cry out you listen to our pleas and you answer us.
When we find no rest for our souls, you lead us beside still waters and make us lie down in green pastures.
You are peace like a river.
Holy Spirit come.
Our souls long for you God.
We are desperate for you God.

With every storm that has come our way
there has been frustration and confusion and a feeling of no escape.
And then He comes. A rescuer of destruction; A defender of the weak ones.
No ashes or ruble left over from the storm.
Only one thing remains -
Jesus. Jesus. Jesus.
My frustration to gentleness, my confusion to clarity and peace. A chained heart set free.

One thing remains.

Feeling incredibly blessed to be at the place I am in my life right now. As hard
as this transitioning season has been, and with the last four months feeling so much longer then they really have been since I’ve been home from Africa, I’m getting through it and I’m happy and full of joy.
And I see the work God continues to do in my heart. I’m thankful for the people that he has brought into my life and I want him to keep pushing down on my heart all of the things he has planned for me.
I’m excited for the future and I’m thrilled with the adventures that he has given me already. What a joy to be a child of God; a label that I’m proud to have. To him I am worth it.

And those who are of Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
