I leave for South Korea today!

Lesson on marriage? 

Mmm. Yep. And many other thoughts/lessons from this week (haven't written in forever!) 

We were all made for love. 
&
He wants our all. Because He has everything in return for us. 

Understanding that God is the ultimate lover changes things up. 

He is our Judge, our King, our Father, AND the Bridegroom.

And God has this fiery, fervent, unwavering, passionate, jealous love for us.

 He is currently preparing us for intimacy that is entailed in such a relationship.

This crushes Satan schemes to make us fall or wander off. Because! God is madly in love with us! He won't ever give up on us.  


When we say yes to him- its saying yes to Truth. Saying yes to life, saying yes to trust, saying yes to the definition of love.

On Sunday City Central and the pleasure of hearing John Dawson. Not gonna lie, I never know these famous Christians who we have been super blessed to hear speak while I've been here in WA! But I do know I am blessed! We had Allen Hood last week (am I name dropping) haha. The appropriate term for this time in Tacoma has been related to drinking out of a fire hose. We've just been straight up blasted with prophetic teaching, life changing messages, and actual life change! 

It's been a pretty wild ride. And has gone by SO fast. I must say Tacoma is doing some things "right" in my book. They have an incredible community, whom I will miss dearly -come to AZ next people!- hah and truly yearn for a life lived the way God intended it AND there is such fruit! In marriages, kids, ministries. Man, GOD is proud of these people!

 I've always known life was like a song to me, but in a recent message I heard life being compared to a poem. Written by God, flowing, strengthened and moved by God, powerful and convicting, passionate. 

We all have a story. This elaborate human story is being written simultaneously all over the world. And as we play a certain role, others have roles. We have different characteristics, varying backgrounds, belonging to somewhere and some people- but all playing a role in the same film. We all have room for redemption and saving. And never could say we have enough love. 

The director and main character is God and He is madly in love with us. 
It's the best love story ever told, and he's the greatest fighter you'll ever know. He loves to fight and fights to love. Never settling for our flesh's limitations. 


"If we all were the same, we would have nothing to offer each other- therefore our differences are what attract us to each other- our differences are what is beautiful" John Dawson
 As I am about a day away from being in South Korea, I start to really experience the reality of this whole deal. I'm getting on a plane tomorrow at 2pm for South Korea for around a week (going to be teaching English! Eek pray for me, hah) and then off to Cambodia (we will be in villages peaching the Gospel and teaching English) until the last week of August! It's a beautiful beautiful thing getting to be able to do this.  

Never thought I'd have a heart for Asia, but God does work in some funny ways.
I'm thinking God is about to blow my mind... 

To God be aaall the glory!  

Keep me in your prayers! Love you and miss you all!

  1. I had written a long comment but it got lost and re-typing it does not sound like fun.

    Regardless, this sounds awesome and I'll be praying for you.
