the joys of the journey.

the beauty and the profound faithfulness of the Lord. So large, so massive, one cannot contain. The largeness of his heavy righteous right hand. oh the weight of receiving his love. In the midst of chaos, in the midst of calamity, he is the only thing constant. Amen for that. Amen for his faithfulness.

Currently finding my life in the midst of a storm, feeling the steadfastness of his love, and his mighty grip that never lets go, even when i want it to. He knows what he is doing and the beauty and security that comes with it. Thank you Jesus for not giving me more than i can handle, but for taking me through the storm with your hand leading my broken vessel.

Loving the adventure, the excitement of the unknown, oh the uncertainty but the consistent assurance. Loving being consumed and thriving in a beautiful body of believers, being entrusted with a group of passionate, Jesus loving people who are wanting to be a voice for the voiceless, world changers, his hands and feet, and to simply just grow closer to our most gorgeous Lord.

Soon enough my most amazing co-leader Matt Davies, myself, and our beautiful team consisting of 6 of the most wonderful girls and 4 of the most passionate guys will be heading to Bangladesh (google it) to bring the shine of Christ. To bring His love, his compassion, his truth. We are all so honored to be trusted with this, to be used as his hands and feet, and to really be examples of Christ. So humbling, and so exciting. We leave in december for this epic exploration.

So humbled and overwhelmed as i find myself in the midst of Gods beautiful favor, and blessing, and his love thats always abounding. He is so gorgeous. Even in the midst of my flesh, sin, disgusting human nature, my pride, my selfishness and random ways, he still loves me, regardless of all of the above. Im a daughter of God, and that is simply enough. Its such a blessing, more than i can type with my mere fingers, my brain is far too small to comprehend the magnitude, much less verbally process the love that Christ has for me. All i can do is humbly receive and just love him back. amen to that. he loves my messy, broken, unfaithful love. amen amen amen.

all i know is that i love Jesus, and i only want to be where he is, and wherever that is, i want to go.

(you know those moments when you hear a song that just makes sense to you. You hear it and it immediately applies to your life... well here is mine. My theme song, my hearts cry, my longing, my desperation for the most highs' return. waiting and wanting, and watching and praying. oh how i love him.)

UNDERQUIET

05. creation song

we can feel creation groan

it’s crying out for God

every night when stars come out

I hear creation’s song

it sings “oh-ohh Lord”

we sing “oh-ohh Lord,

You are Light and You are Love

You are Flesh and You are Blood”

peace will come, to those who love

Jehovah, Jehovah, Jehovah, Jehovah

-Josh Garrels


oh the beautiful freedom that comes when we lay down our lives and just follow the creator himself. Exhilarating and freeing and wild. He is holding my hand, leading me, showing me things along the way. Oh how i love this intimate journey with him. There is no where else i'd rather be, than here in his perfect will.
oh his love, so perfect and pure.

many more updates and stories and pictures to come. Thank you all for partnering with me alongside this beautiful journey of discovering more and more and more of Christ.

please be praying for me;

*financially. I need a hefty amount of money, for staff fees, travel fair and all of the likes.
* Humility/ Servant Leadership.
*Team Bangladesh. Kingdom perspective and just focus on our Most Gorgeous Lord.
*a saturation of the word, and just sweet times with the Lord.

thank you so very much for all of the prayers and support.
God is remarkable and i am so very thankful for all of you!
