real life & perspective


I want to be little, so that He can be big.
I want to be weak, so that His strength is obvious.
I want to be fearless, so that I will never get in the way of His plans.
I want to be reckless, so that He will get so much glory.
I wan to be obedient, so that He will know I am all in.
I want to speak truth and fight for love and never give up
even when it’s midnight and my heart is broken and no one is listening and He seems so quiet.

I don’t want to miss a thing. Because I believe this giant, secret, hidden, huge promise that He has greater things in store; that right now there is a plan that is being weaved through all of time and we get to be apart of it,
Do you know that Heaven is coming, and it’s a big deal?
Do you know that the Kingdom is alive INSIDE of you?
Do you know that you hold the ticket to revival? All you need to do is lay your heart down on the altar and let the Fire fall.
Oh, I don’t want to miss a thing.
I want to be so lost in His whispers and His promises and His sunsets that speak of the world to come.
I want my life, my love, my heart, to always be an expression of who He is.
I want the world to see that when I trip, He is quick to pick me up.
I want the world to know that when I slip, He is quick to forgive.
I want the world to understand that I will never be like them:
but I will always love them, I will always serve them, I will always give everything that I have to them.
Because that’s what He did for me.
These are my dreams:
to KNOW Him and make Him KNOWN.
to love broken teenage girls.
to love broken women.
to love broken children.
to love broken people.
to be an instrument of HIS healing, as He gives me His eyes to see sickness, physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
to teach the next generation (and my own) what it means to WORSHIP.
to worship in everything that I do.
to be holy.
to adopt children as I have been adopted by the King of Kings.
to be a light in a dark valley.
to shine forth the glory of the One who came and brought redemption.
to be a minister of reconciliation.
to love kids at youth group, even when they smell bad.
to pray through spiritual strongholds and impossible situations and scary sicknesses and new stories coming into being.
to always be less than He, and always be all in.
I was born for such a time as this, and my purpose was to die. So, for Him, I choose death;and in response I find glorious, breathtaking, heart racing life.
