...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 ^^
