Letting the Holy Spirit Worship for Me

Life on the Field

It has always been a dream of mine to be an amazing singer. I so badly want to be able to sign with such beauty that it brings chills to me. I have prayed plenty of prayers asking the Lord to give me a beautiful, angelic voice. My voice still hasn’t gotten there, nor has my ear come into tune for that either. At training camp, when my leader told us we would be worshiping pretty much every night, I was very excited. I adore the act of worship. Worship is a time for me to come before the Lord and give him praise and adoration. Worshipping here in Thailand is not like it is back in the...

Jesus only.

This Thursday while Gloriel, Allison and I were home interceding for our teammates out on Bangla, I randomly flipped open my bible. It opened to Mark 9, the transfiguration. Where some of the disciples saw Jesus transform into what is described as ‘dazzling white’ clothes with Moses and Elijah standing with Him. The disciples were speechless when they heard the voice of God saying, “This is my beloved son; listen to him.” And looking up they saw no one but Jesus only. (vs. 1-8) My eyes were drawn to the fact that I had at some point underlined the words Jesus...

Being Raw with Jesus.

Francis Chan puts it in the best way possible: Being raw with God is like holding up a raw piece of steak and handing it to Jesus, saying, “Here’s all of me Lord, take me as I am!” It is not trying to marinate it by putting seasoning on it thinking that we can spice up our life to make it look better, no, Jesus already knows everything, what your feeling, your darkest sins and what you do behind closed doors. So why do we try to hide ourselves from Him? Why do we try to cover up how we truly feel from Jesus? When we cover up things in our lives and try to make it seem...

Seasons come and go. I’ve had plenty of seasons in my life, I could probably name them, but that would take hours, and since I’ve been here for hours already I won’t. For the most part I can say they’ve all been good or at least ended good. Yeah there’ve been a few rough spots along the way, but God is always faithful, and has brought me through, even in the seasons I didn’t turn to Him, or truly acknowledge Him.In the past year God has proved Himself faithful. When I came home from Uganda and I wanted to stay, God was faithful, and met me where I was....

Give thanks. At the beginning of this week, I was definitely not focused on giving thanks. I was extremely frustrated, tired, and exhausted in every shape and form (emotionally, spiritually, and physically). I was missing my family, my amazing friend Kristen, and my life in Livonia. I was just at a breaking point. Thankfully breaking points are perfect opportunities for growth. Just when I thought that I couldn’t take another moment of life here, my Daddy stepped in and changed my perspective. Picture this: The stage was perfectly set...

proph·e·cy [prof–uh-see] noun, plural proph·e·cies. the foretelling or prediction of what is to come. Growing up, being a pastor’s kid, going to church every weekend and later attending Bible College, of course I knew what a prophet was & what they did. They were people in the bible who God spoke to & they conveyed that information to others. Usually, it was foretelling what would happen in the future. Through out these last few millenniums, many people...
