(First of all I want to start off saying I am sorry it has taken me a VERY long time to write again. I have realized it is one of my passions to write, and it helps me process life and share my heart to all who follow my journey. Thank you for following and please know I am going to keep posting as my life journey goes on. If you read along with me, please continue to prayer for my next steps in life, decisions, and Joy. )
I was challenge these past few days to actually write a bit about myself, to sit down and THINK WHO I AM.
Here’s my attempt,
When I read a book it is not very often and it takes me months, my favorite books are; “Irresistible revolution” by Shane Claiborne and “Same Kind of Different as Me” by Ron and Denver (this one only took me four days, which means it is really good, but I did read it in the desert of Africa)
I am challenged by people who have given up everything for God and who strive off of Him. I desire to be like that, but I would say it is not always easy. Deep down this is my hearts cry. I find myself more and more coming close to Jesus , I know I need him in my life more then anyone or anything. My hearts cry is to give up my life for Jesus sake so I can find life, life to the fullest.
I know my complete JOY needs to come from God and If I find myself getting Joy from something else, I know something has to change. I am challenge to live out of my comfort, and do all I can do live uncomfortably. Why…well If I keep pushing myself, past my fear, the unknowns, the obstacle, I know God shows up and brings more of Himself. One of my ultimate goals, is that when people see me, it is Jesus they see. I pray on a regular basis that God will be seen, through my selfish being. As I have prayed that prayer I have notice my life change to better glorify the King. My faith is my everything, and If I was tell you my life journey and take God out of the picture it would not make sense. God is my everything, my life, my joy, He is who I want to reflect and glorify. My desire is through my actions and words, you can come to know God more, desiring Him as your best friend and ultimate void filler, because really when we feel a void in our lives, it is most of the time a cry out for God but unfortunately we fill it in other ways, my cry is we notice that and find God in the midst.
My life motto, “if fear gets in my ways I must face it, I will not be conquered by fear”. This motto came from one of lives pivotal points where I face grieve, heart wretch and pain of the loss of someone so dear.
I say this because this was the moment life took of, I began giving up fear for more, for LIFE. This point was almost four years ago and since then I have faced, skydiving, moving to the unknown, zip lining, caving, swimming with crocodiles, traveling for a year as a over sea missionary, speaking in front of hundreds of people about my life, forgiving, serving with all I have, loving from the depth of who I am.
I am really not that great at life, but I believe life is about a journey, a journey we have to be willing… to take with God.
I love people, even though I am not very good in crowds, I am total one on one coffee type of person. If I want to truly get to know you or you me, that’s what needs to happen. I see potential in people beyond what they see of themselves (I think it is my gifting) and I want to do my best to help you see that, and bring it out of you. I am joy giver, life embracer, challenge conquer and encourager. I am loved by God, adored and cherished by the King of kings.
MY LIFE IS HIS
