...just art :)

God is really calling me to get some art into this world. I feel really small when I think about all the other art out there, and Comparison wants me to believe I shouldn't even try. But God's Voice is the One i listen to now :) He really has given me a passion for creativity since I was really small. I have a pretty vivid snapshot in my mind of a piece of recycled, grey-ish worksheet sitting on my desk, asking me what I want to be when I grown up, and it was just such an obvious answer to me: Artist. That was in Kindergarten. Here I am still intrigued with what My Creator and I do on paper.

I just graduated Discipleship Training School, and one of the questions while debriefing was: Looking back, what is one area you have been encouraged in most of your life? ...art. I think it's just so obvious God wants to use my art. So, here is some.. I definitely have more stored at home that I want to get on here, but I'm kind of in a hurry because I need money for my next step: PhaseII of Fire and Fragrance, School of Revival and Reformation, which starts July 7th.


If you or anyone you know would like me to design anything for them, I would be honored: tattoo, something on paper, birthday card, calender, whatever.

alright, thanks for reading. :) Be blessed. God is good.

Heaven is inside of me....

Well, I'm back in Kona, Hawaii. Love seeing all my friends, especially Courtney Edge :) Monday Morning worship was amazing. I was actually thinking about skipping it, because I've never really understood corporate worship.. but I'm starting to figuring out my part in the Body of Christ, and corporate worship this morning was beautiful. The Lord met me in a deep place. Kandi was next to me and came to minister to me.. she also felt the depth. :) I've been asking God to take me deeper and of course He's faithful to a prayer like that. The way He met me this morning, I think He was confirming my decision for PhaseII of Fire and Fragrance. It's going to be an intense season, full of beauty and depth and height and width. He's bringing me to a more solid place. I'm learning to believe and to trust.

This morning we had our last day of team time I think. We went out for breakfast and coffee at Lava Java and just shared our dreams and life goals and visions for our lives, and then we prayed for eachother just letting God speak to and through us. I'm not totally sure what I will be doing for the rest of my life, but for now I'm really just seeking for my Triune God. I want to know everything I can about Him because His Love is so deep and He's so good. I want to see His beauty. One thing I do see myself doing is travelling to the Nations and encouraging the Bride. I don't know what it really looks like, but I know I'm starting to figure it out. I am really loving life, and loving who God made me to be... and I am really seeing how much He is giving me His heart for people. I'm so thankful and hopeful and expectant!

...and His glory is being stirred up inside of and all around me. And the knowledge of His glory will fill the earth like the water fills the seas.

...feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

First Blog. Last country on my first outreach. France! So many firsts this year.. I started by leaving my hometown for the first time ever in the first month of the year. I am on my first outreach which consists of getting to know God, myself, and my team. I love all 3 a lot, and I know my love will only grow. I am overcoming a lot of fear, which is being replaced with beautiful freedom. I am learning that God has a wonderful journey in store for me. Adventure is my most recent chapter, and Love my greatest goal.

I am learning how much I love children, and how the enemy for so long has made me believe I don't. I think most children have a mutual love for me. It's an intense process trying to "figure out children", but it's fun. I, like my Creator, am an artist, and a child's skin is quickly becoming my favorite canvas... we have been barbecuing in a vacant lot outside some low-income apartments here, and for the first few days I walked around interceding, and last night our team brought some acrylic paint. I started out by painting Gena's face, and chaos erupted soon after. The most popular "tattoo" was a flame that happened because Grace wanted me to paint something on her arm, and fire is most appropriate for her. Kids running around with fire painted on their forearms, and whiskers painted on their faces and hearts on their shoulders... they are running in His Presence, and I know we are working with God to start a spark in their hearts, and passion for His Name. I am falling in love with children.

Many nations are calling my name as I hold His in my heart. My feet are so antsy to run. My heart is alive. My mind is curious. Welcome to my Adventures ^^
