I have seen many times Jesus do beautiful works, yet each time I am still amazed. Amazed how He orchestrates all things together to get to a unique heart and the way He zealously loves them each…Standing back and watching Him pursue a heart that has no idea He is coming for them will leave you speechless…and in tears.

Saturday

It has been a busy week with Him. It started with the I Am Beautiful Movement Workshop  in Henderson, Texas last Saturday. This event was for sweet girls to empower them and encourage them in the Lord. It has been sometimes since I stood before young girls. It was a cherished blessing and their eyes seem to dance when you share real life stories of Jesus and His ways. There is no way I can begin to share all the moments, but I will share a few.

From the moment it began I held some in prayer on my shoulder as they cried over agonizing troubles. At other times I was asked to go tend a little one in pain. My heart broke over each heart in such distress. I know more today than ever the necessity of the Holy Spirit to know what exactly needs to be said in such a Moment. When there is a desperate need I would whisper , “Lord please help me see to the need…” There is an awesome feeling of inadequacy in these moments because your words have amazing power to lift one out of the mire or to wound deeper. God was so faithful to help me and I was so encouraged at His love for them each. I met many other women warriors declaring truth and pouring themselves out into the next generation. It was an honor to serve with them truly.

Sunday Morning/Monday Evening

Monday night was our first Arise Women’s Gathering, a monthly gathering of women warriors. While our church is the host, all are invited. We had the best time dining together and laughing out loud. The Lord had given a message that must be so deeply on His heart in regards to Matthew 6:6. It was the same message also for the younger girls. I was also called to give this message to the youth at my home church as God put such a burden on me to share my life with Jesus with them and what it’s like to talk and walk with Him. I could really feel His heart pouring out these days to reach the youth of this generation…He is calling everyone…there is no age limit, no gender exclusion, no gifting not needed. We are in the days of All must Surrender All… it’s time we teach and prepare them for the battle that rages around us. But we will have to be transparent and our actions will have to align with our words. We will have to bring healing words to their deepest wounds and bring Jesus in all His power to them. They will have nothing to do with religion or counterfeits.

I spent much time with a precious one who had many questions about the Lord. Sadly, it took me quite some time to undo the pain caused by the church at large. Her experiences within the body of Christ had not left her with any desire to be a part of such a body. The Lord was so gracious to me to be careful and listen fully, share truth tenderly, and to see the beauty He has placed in her. I cried myself to sleep this night at the faces on my heart and the pain of knowing how much love it takes to turn one back after being wounded by Christ’s own. I spent much time talking with Him about this and how the voices are getting louder and louder with no tenderness and mercy. I pray in these days we would fight for soft hearts and gentleness…

 

Wednesday

After a beautiful week I was on a resting day when my Pastor called and asked could I teach Wednesday night as he had so much needing tending with the emergency efforts for those coming into town from the hurricane. Our Pastor is a Chaplain so is on call for all manners of needs. I knew in my heart the previous message was not to be the same for this group. Again, God showed His faithfulness as I slipped into my closet and buried my head to ask for His message for the evening. He took me to Psalm 18:31-35 particularly verse 35, “Your gentleness has made me great.” I was able to share the weekends events and the pain of hearts I had seen, yet how Christ went to heal so many hearts in need. We ended by playing a beautiful song Jesus had simply placed in my heart …”I Give Myself Away.”

I was so overwhelmed by His goodness… and exhausted all at the same time… after such a week. I quietly said to the Lord, “Father, I spent myself this week for the Kingdom… let be always so…”

Enjoy the song friends… may we spend ourselves until He comes back for us and carries us home. There will be plenty of rest then❤️

 

Love Much,
