It's coming, Tuesday is coming!

It's coming, Tuesday is coming! It is coming with all the impetuous winds of a new adventure. I can see the clouds forming, the temperature has cooled down, the whispers of the wind are getting louder: 'Arise, My love, My fair one, and come away..." With eagle wings I look at the tempest, what a good God He is, He has made me to fly... to fly high, higher than the circumstances bellow, higher than the natural eye can see. Go spirit of mine, go and follow the Lord where He leads. Care not about tomorrow, give yourself entirely to Him today. Oh soul how miserable would you be if you do not go, don't be afraid, He cares for you. He always has, He always will.

Breath, Just Breath...

Being with family over the holidays, going here and there, doesn't really give you time to think about the enormity of what is ahead; yet God doesn't forget. Now, as God continuous to answer prayers and I am at the brink of a new chapter, feeling pressed down by the emotions and normal anxious excitement of the unknown, I am reminded of His words- the words that were spoken when I wasn't looking. The words that were spoken when I wasn't thinking about it. I am reminded and I am comforted. Comforted because He is in control. Comforted because He cares. Comforted because even when I'm not looking He is. Comforted because He is the One who keeps all things together. Comforted because there is nothing I can do apart from Him.

breath Ama, just breath...

breath and remember...

breath and trust...

breath and delight in Him...

:-) .... hmmm... delight in Him.... that is good... HE is good... there is nothing better than Him, in this life and that which is to come. I can melt in His presence. I don't have to pretend before Him. There is nothing sweeter and safer than Him.

"Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty. Neither do I concern myself with great matters, nor with things too profound for me. Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me. O Israel, hope in the LORD from this time forth and forever." Psalm 131

Thanks for Praying :)

Thank you all so much for praying.

Sunday went well. I spoke about missions and Mark 8:34-38. We also spoke about not being afraid of God's call in our life because God's plan for us not to harm us, and that God will never ask us to do something He is not willing and able to equip us and see us through. But my favorite part of all was getting to know the kids hearing where they feel God is leading them or the gifts He has given them and then praying for them.


If you remember please keep in mind Phil and Connor*, they are the youngest in the group, they are brothers. Both of them were pretty introverted but I could see such a bold faith in their eyes. They know the truth and I would just like you to pray that they would come to know God in a tangible way. That they would see how their faith applies to the every day life. That those things that I could see brewing in their hearts about how good and true God is would find an outlet and impact not just them but those around them.

Thank you so much :-D

You are wonderful!


Much love and many blessings!

Please Pray :)

Hello there :)

I am currently in Washington DC visiting my family for the Holidays before I go to England.

I have been given the opportunity to share with the Youth Group at church my sister attends on January 3rd.

Please pray for God to be the one speaking through me and that He would be stirring the hearts of the young men (it's an all boys group at the moment) to step out and live a life surrendered to God.

Thank you all so much!
Happy New Year!!
