Why? Because I am tired or being a bench warmer. I’m tired or being
restrained by my fears and insecurities. I am tired of watered down
religion. I want more than that, and I believe God intended for us, ME
to do more than that. I want to break out of my self-imposed walls, and
reach beyond this human perspective. I want to experience the life
abundant that Jesus died to give me.I am on a mission to redifine my perceptions of myself; to see myself
through God’s eyes. To discover my strengths, and overcome my
weaknesses by the power of the Holy Spirit in me. To know and follow
the voice of my shepherd. I am on a mission to change the world by
changing my response to it. To experience excitement, anticipation,
intimmidation, and victory. To feel love, longing, sorrow and pain. To
be broken, bruised, and burried with Christ, so that I may also be
renewed in Him. I desire to learn to love blindly – without predjudice
– and to serve in humility without expectations. To learn how to work
as a team, and to cry as a family.As a team, my desire is that we learn surrender – first to God, and
them to eachother and the people we serve. That we will lay asside our
selfish and sinful desires, to meet the needs of the people we
encounter. To pour out our lives, so that we can be refilled by the
Spirit of God. To be vulnerabile and flexible as we learn to live as
members of a larger body – not as independant pieces of a whole. To
bring the reality of the Kingdom of Heaven, here to the earth we
inhabit.What breaks my heart is loneliness and despair. Where there is hope,
there is life. Where hopelessness prevails, death is crouching aroung
the corner.I have seen people in very harsh conditions that were full of life and
joy because of the hope they have. I have also seen people with every
immaginable luxury that were a mere shell, a shadow of a man, because
they believed they had nothing to hope for.
