EPIPHANY OF THE DAY

If you've read my blog over the past 2 days, you'll realize...I have changed this entry a bit.

   I keep feeling the need to explain our calling to people who ask all these questions that have the ability to stir doubt. When we feel doubt or insecurities or the need to defend ourselves...we should realize that we don't have to...God is our defender. I've began reading another book by Heidi Baker called, Birthing the Miraculous. The first chapter talks about Mary and her calling. WOW! I have known her story forever...but it has a whole new meaning. I felt a slam on my heart by the Holy Spirit that had the answer to all my wondering. DIE TO SELF. hmmm...that isn't an easy task. This is my new prayer....even at the gym when Susan is killin' me on the step..believe me..I-got-to-pray. So, there it is...my epiphany for the day.

   I've been working on our Facebook website. KHImissions Facebook Page 

     Our house is officially on the market!Here is the link:)

 Here is something cool...it has been about 6 almost 7 years since we began our journey in reaching our call. Josh felt led to name our ministry Kingdom Harvest International. We opened a church ministry for a few years. We are currently helping another ministry. I think it's pretty cool to think that God gave us the name before we even knew that we would be going out to Harvest School in Mozambique. WOW!
 
     I cannot express the pull on my heart to "go". Each day is another day closer.
                          I know that to some it seems like such a big task. It is! God can make a way.

HERE IS A SONG AND SOME LYRICS: LISTEN:) You WILL be blessed.

You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand

And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now

So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior
[x6]

I will call upon Your Name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine

Stop Crying...It's Gonna Be Alright.


   The last baby is gone...my Jag. If I talk about it or even say his lil name I swell with tears. I love him so much. I know he is with a very loving sweet person which really does give me a bit of peace. Sacrifice...it isn't easy...nor is it suppose to be really...or else it wouldn't be a sacrifice at all. All I can do is ask that God fill that little precious spot.
   Here he is at his new home...on his new bed:) I want to grab him up so bad...but such a precious person has been chosen to care for him. I know why I met her now. Amazing.
       Months from now, I will hold precious orphans, widows, broken and those in deep poverty in which I have never experienced or seen face to face...they will be before me...and I will use the love of God to love them deeply. Some people don't know they are loved. Now...that is sad.
        Years from now, I will see what God has planned. All of His promises are real. 
I have been asked several time, "What if you are miserable?" I could answer in several ways.
First, there may be days that I feel not so top notch...but I could feel that way anywhere. Ya know what else...God gave me a husband...and we lift each other up:) Second, how could I be more miserable than the ones we are going to.... Third, it's surreal to know that you know..."this is what you were made for"...Another and the biggest to me...is FAITH. 
       You never really know what or who your faith is in until it is tested...
for example:If your father has several heart attacks and has died...and God restored His life to where you are able to call him and talk with him...and hug him.  OR Your marriage has failed. Your family is broken. You cry at night of loneliness and plea to God for answers...Out of the darkness appears light...and brilliantly your marriage and family is restored to a point beyond what you would have ever thought it would be...your marriage is unbreakable and your family is whole. OR You were diagnosed with two autoimmune disorders and another condition that would surely take away the good quality of life you've been living or even will take your life. BUT you decided that you were not defeated and had faith in the promises of God and were completely healed...now you don't worry anymore about watching your child grow up...
     You see all of the above: those situations were me. Faith in the Word...in the promises of God...believing and knowing with all that I am that He is the King of EVERYTHING! WHOOOOOOOHOOOOO! I serve a MIGHTY GOD! Nothing makes me want to dance more than this...:) 
     
     Dear Heavenly Father...most precious of all...
Take my heart and seal it for Thy courts above. Pour into me and fill every crevice with You. I want a relationship with You like no other. Take away the pain of whoever may be reading this and need You more. Fill them with Your precious love that is like no other. Let them feel Your presence. Breathe life. Let Your Holy Spirit surround the broken and ashamed as this prayer is read and prayed. Take us all to where You desire us to be. May we not hesitate to surrender to Your perfect will for our lives. May we walk by faith. I love You, God, more than anything. Above all You reign. You amaze me. You, Father, are a perfect Father. 
    Thank You for hearing me...for hearing us...in the precious name of Your great sacrifice, Jesus, I pray...we pray...Amen.
