Miracles

May Your voice thunder in this place

Shake everything that is not of You

Crumble it

Reduce it to rubble

Leaving nothing behind

But the pillars of Your Word

Standing firm and strong

May thunder erupt from our lips

Shaking the lies of our enemy

Stripping back the distractions

That for so long have clouded their true identities 

Would darkness no longer hide them

May we call forth the dorment lights 

Showing them the way home

Welcoming them back to family

To Father's embrace

Bestowing on them their inheritance 

The shared birthright of the One who bore it all

Who took on pain and destruction 

So that not one would have to be lost

His offering was the last sacrifice 

May they be encountered by this covering 

So drawn

Their longing so met

That the thunder becomes visible

And standing firm before them

The Kingdom in Your eyes.

"I want to do what you want to do"

i amazed that i had no clue that i would ever come to Cambodia and yet God intended me to meet these students, to become friends with a few of them, to know and fall in love with this place and these people. He destined it from the beginning. Yet, if I didn't say yes, none of this would be happening. He planned these moments, these relationships, to mean something and intricately impact the course of our lives. And we still have this choice, to see God's elaborately amazing dreams bear fruit in front of our eyes.

from a word about boldness (actually two). about freedom to expect that which I can admit I don't want to experience letdown in if I wholeheartedly believe it. Like salvations and healings coming out of my stepping out even further to cut to the heart of the relationships I have patiently and compassionately built. I have put in the work, the heart; I have gained the trust necessary to say the things I need to say to see the things I want to see and to fulfill the reason I am here. 4 more weeks. That's all i get. To keep it simple and consistent. Obedience, patience, peace. Trust God, fear Him alone.

It's time to tune my ear in a different way than I have before and open up my mouth. Power has to come out, because that's what He's put into me. Faith has to abound, because that's all I have left to sustain me. To be a blessing and be blessed, by believing that everything God's said to me is true. That if I continue saying 'yes' the world will follow.
