These are elements that I accumulated last fall during BSSM here in Redding. We had a day after our retreat to create a decoupage for a prophetic journal, and this is what came tumbling out of my heart.
I’ve been catching up on what it is I’ve experienced through the past 18 months, and I stand almost in disbelief of the space between where I stood, and now where I am. I think it is safe to say that I have been feeling my desires grow, what I would consider outlets or opportunities to express those passions move into the background, and settle into a place of rest that I’ve not yet known. I am thinking it’s safe to say that this feeling is a ‘settling’ one, in the best. Possible. Way. See below image for an explanation.
“My life, your style. Make the difference. - dwell - I want ten years of REAL SIMPLE GOOD NEWS.” I think I’ve begun to realize the potential in my heart that has been shaped by my upbringing, the word and Holy Spirit in my life, and am finding that I don’t need to stand up for myself and that I don’t have to build a reservoir of faith to see things accomplished in the future. I only need to believe Jesus is real, believe His words, and trust that the deep desires for truth and integrity to play themselves out in and through my life are ultimately His plan, and me, becoming more and more like Him in grace, will see the Kingdom come on earth as it is in Heaven. See image below to see more about this passion.

When you never compromise, people notice. In other words, we’re on a no limits rescue mission to the quintessential restoration.” “What do you believe – your eyes or MY words?”I do believe I’ve now seen the most dramatic season of my life played out, in an environment, church, school, community and with family, where the Lord has successfully planned out the rest of my life with me. I’ve been touched by perhaps the most influential Kingdom endeavor in the Western world, and I’ll never be the same. I’ve learned language that I’ve always known I was supposed to know, I’ve learned about scripture in ways that I always knew I needed to learn it, and I’ve seen the culmination of an ongoing legacy in family, and in church where loyalty, honor, vulnerability, and an insatiable desire to reach the nations has developed a momentum so strong, that the nations are literally being changed through this place. See below in not so many words how I feel about this.
“That’s something I’m reminded of EVERY DAY – The POWER of REVIVAL - I will never fully recover.” And now, I have so many places to go, so much identity and understanding to live out, and so much history to appreciate and consider as I move forward and carry the torch of revival into the rest of my life.
Thank you Jesus, for continuing to reveal the context of your relationship with me, in relation to who you are in the Father, and for offering to be with me in Spirit, not so that we can change the world, but so that we might represent the nature and character of Father in the earth.
I love you Father, for your steadfast love.
I love you Jesus, for your steadfast love.
I love you Holy Spirit, for your steadfast love.
