When I found my life, I laid it back down.
Four years ago on a trip to Guatemala, something happened in my soul. A spark was rekindled in my spirit and God reminded me of a calling He placed inside of me long ago :: the call of Isaiah 58 was etched on my heart {to loose the chains of injustice :: to set the oppressed free}
Catalyst ignited :: I could never go back to life as I knew it.
Reckless abandon :: God flipped my world upside down.
Forever changed:: my life is not my own.
I laid down my life and refuse to pick it back up again.
I’ll admit, there’s a war for my heart; days that I long for the glitz and glam of the Vegas life. I love the big city bustle and the sparkling night life juxtaposed with the longing for God inspired adventure and the call to make a difference. This restlessness in my soul is a gift, knowing with all that I am that this life is not about me but something so much more.
This longing for more of God should fuel our existence. To empty ourselves more to have God fill us more. To create more space in our hearts and minds so He can truly guide and direct our every move, our every thought.
If we want more, we have to find the courage to rise up, stand firm and jump in. To experience all that God has for us, we have move away from whats comfortable and move towards Him. It means we forfiet our “right” to be in “control”, knowing that when we lay it all back in His hands, He will move in unfathomable ways.
This quest for “more” will never stop but as we pursue Him, we discover that God is the only thing we can chase after that won’t leave us feeling more empty. Feverantly chasing after Jesus is better than anything we could ever hope for.

11 countries. 11 months. This is the mission.
I’m going to see God do the miraculous. To see mountains moved. I say yes to you, God :: empty me of me and give me more.
