Are your thoughts containable?
CAUTION: Mine are NOT containable at this time. I have countless mini blogs going on in my head, and my thoughts are not turning off. I apologize in advance for my mental vomit throughout this blog, as my thoughts are out of control!
Where do I begin?
Do I tell you about experiencing the Holy Spirit at Training Camp? Do I tell you about the sermon from @Arrowheadmtown? Do I tell you about God speaking scripture to me? Do I tell you about my team, Golden Arrows? Do I tell you about my amazing G squad? Do I tell you about closing the chapter to an amazing school and staff, my kids, their parents, and packing up my classroom? Do I tell you about fundraising? Do I share my story? ETC….. The list goes on and on and on and on. You get the picture!
SO….
I googled uncontainable and this came up… it’s PERFECT.

My life is a little indescribable at the moment; a lot more than hectic and a little less list oriented. For those of you who know me, I’m an ESFJ. J= TYPE A. I LOVE a plan and a schedule, but if the World Race is teaching me anything, I’m learning to let loose, enjoy life, invest in intentional and meaninful relationships, and LOVE.
We long for faith that is normal, yet powerful. It’s out of the ordinary and unexplainable. God IS NOT containable.
Is your faith ordinary and explainable or out of the ordinary and unexplainable?
He’s waiting on us to ask… to ask him for more. Luke 11:9-13
Tonight as I was sitting at Love War, listening to United Pursuit play, I asked. The Lord gave me the scripture John 4:8, however John 4:8 WOULD NOT pull up on my iPhone. Instead it pulled up 1 John 4:8, The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
The Lord is teaching me about unexplainable, indescribable, uncontainable, powerful, intentional love. He’s doing this through community, my family, fundraising, scripture, etc. For example, I’ve never experienced an immediate LOVE quite like G squad or WR (world race) love. My family has stepped up their A-game and invested blood, sweat, tears and LOVE to support this calling on my life, and I support raised $6,500 in ONE MONTH… that’s when you know it’s God! Remember: GOD IS LOVE.
Now, I want you to meet one of many sweet kids that have stolen my heart. I’m convinced that the kind of love this kid and I share is preparing my heart for the kiddos in my future over the next 11 months. Jake has prayed for me, and he knows that I will be sharing the love of Jesus with other people across the world. He’s been reluctant to tell me that I can go on the WR, but has decided that we can video chat. (This is one piece of East TN that I will truly miss!)
