Season of Healing

I believe that this season is going to be a great season of healing, a season of breaking free of chains. I think this because I am seeing it. First, I see it in my own life. The Lord is teaching me so much about the fear of the Lord, his love and grace for me and how His way is best and my own decisions lead to self destruction. The past few months and especially the past week I have seen him really helping me break free of some deep rooted long time sin struggles. I see loved ones of mine truly desiring healing of struggles and beginning to fight them, and other loved ones who have hit rock bottom and my prayer is for them that the Lord truly works on their hearts in this time. 

 And then there are those loved ones who I have been praying years for, who have hit rock bottom many times and yet I have seen nothing change and I have to continue to watch them walk down the road of self destruction. It breaks my heart. When it comes to those loved ones. Let me tell you, don't get bitter and give up on them. I have many times wanted to give up on loved ones, and several times have...but a dear friend told me in high school not to give up and just wait on God's timing, that He is faithful and loves them more than we ever could. I saw her love and pray for someone who broke her heart time and time again, and not only did she love and pray for them, she did it with joy. She found joy in being the Lord's love for that person. She found joy in praying for that person when that person could not pray for themselves. I can now see today the blessings of not giving up on lost loved ones.  I have seen after years of prayer, hearts softened and healed and I thank the Lord that those who were called to love and pray for me did not give up. 

 Our God is a God of healing and restoration. A God of relentless love and pursuit. Praise Him for that and find joy and hope in those promises.

I Know You're With Me To The Very End

An update on our week in Houston for all who want to know: Y'all, this week has been bittersweet. If I am honest, I am still processing it all and I am struggling a little bit. Lets be real, I am struggling a lot. Anyways, let me just tell you the whole journey. About a month ago, I was laying on the floor, literally sobbing and asking my Abba "why?" Every doctor we had talked to had either turned me away or told me there was nothing more they could do for me. We had gotten no answers since I got diagnosed in 2015. Cameron shared with our friend, Steve Murphy, the dead end we had hit and how hopeless we felt after a service about feeling helpless. Steve, being our family in Christ immediately wanted to help and connected us with another man in our church, Leeland. Leeland selflessly spent hours of his time to research and found us a doctor at M.D. Anderson in Houston. Although there was a waiting list to get into Dr. Slopis, we got an appointment the day we were ...

Winning The War Over Our Sin

Sin. It gets us out of the Lords will and destroys us. The enemy uses it to break us down. He knows what we struggle with most and when we are at our lowest and he knows exactly when to attack. We receive the seeds of sin before we even realized we've received it. The enemy has designed sin to get us out of the will of God so we will never ever see the power and plan the Lord has for our lives. This sucks. What do we do? Sit around full of self pity, letting it happen? Just say "ahhh darn i'm too weak to overcome this" Think that we are too far gone to ever turn back to our Father? NO WE FIGHT. We continue to address our sin until we are free. We demand discipline in every aspect of our lives, that includes demanding discipline of those you spend your time with. We stand up against generational curses and say "No more! It stops with me!" We must WANT to be free to be free. When there is a sin that is strong and consistent in your life a...

God's Providence

1Thes 2:8 We loved you so much we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our own lives as well, because you had become so dear to us. I believe the Lord has done remarkable things in my life in order that I may share it with others for His glory...so here we go. The Lord's providence has been all over my whole life. And I mean my WHOLE life...but I'll start at age 8. When I was 8, my aunt and uncle so lovingly blessed me by sending me to Kanakuk a Christian athletic camp. That was the summer I first heard the Gospel. This was the same summer my two year old brother passed away. Divine providence one, I heard the Gospel, the promise that this life is not the end just a week or so before my precious brother went to be with the Lord. Thank the  Lord I had those promises to hold tight to in that dark time. The summer between 6th and 7th grade, my aunt and uncle again, obedient to the Lord's calling to love and pursue me offered to send me to a pri...
