Tomorrow, Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is the big day! Nearly 24 hours from now, we will all be together, preparing to jump onto a plane in just a few hours. What a journey! God is amazing and thats all I have to say, only because I do not have the words to describe His goodness.

My number one goal for this trip is to draw near to God, and to love Him with everything in me.

The Lord has been faithful! He has been pouring Himself in me more and more everyday! One thing that Blake keeps saying, that really sticks out to me is the word "Harvest". When he prays, he will say things like "the feild is ready for harvest", or "We will be your harvest".

This reminds me of a few scriptures, that I think will be really important for this trip.

Leviticus 23:9-11
The LORD said to Moses, "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'When you enter the land I am going to give you and you reap its harvest, bring to the priest a sheaf of the first grain you harvest. He is to wave the sheaf before the LORD so it will be accepted on your behalf; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath.

Psalm 67:5-6
May the peoples praise you, O God;
may all the peoples praise you.
Then the land will yield its harvest,
and God, our God, will bless us.

Psalm 85:12-13
The LORD will indeed give what is good,
and our land will yield its harvest.
Righteousness goes before him
and prepares the way for his steps.

Matthew 9:36-38
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."

"Ask the Lord of the harvest". Ask and we will receive. This is what our prayer needs to be. Ask the Lord for more workers. Ask Him for more "harvesters".

Lord, my prayer is to be Your harvester. Let me walk beside you so you can use me is ways which I can further Your kingdom. Let me never loose sight of Your glory and you righteousness.

You are enough for me Lord. I desire to be broken. I desire to be broken of myself and of this world, and molded into You. I desire for Your heart. You are my rock, You are my strength, You are my refuge. You are everything that is good and I delight in YOU!

Lord, we are faithful that you will protect our team. Keep us safe and FAR from danger. Keep the enemy away from us and leave a peace with our families. Lord, you are mighty and I love you so much!!! Thank you!

"Love is Here" -Tenth Avenue North

Come to the waters,
you who thirst and you'll thirst no more.
Come to the father,
you who work and you'll work no more.
And all you who labor in vain and to the broken and shamed:


Love is here.
Love is now.
Love is pouring from His hands, from his brows.
Love is near, it satisfies.
Streams of mercy flowing from his side.
Cause love is here.

Come to the treasure,
you who search and you'll search no more.
Come to the lover you who want and you'll want no more, no.
And all you who labor in vain and to the broken and shamed,


Love is here.
Love is now.
Love is pouring from his hands, from his brows.
Love is near, it satisfies.
Streams of mercy flowing from His side.


And to the bruised and fallen,
Captives, bound, and broken hearted.
He is the lord He is the lord,
By his stripes he's paid our ransom
From his wounds we drink salvation
He is the lord He is the lord


Love is here.
Love is now.
Love is pouring from his hands, from his brows.
Love is near, It satisfies.
Streams of mercy flowing from his side.
Streams of mercy flowing from his side.


Cause love is here
Love is here.

Rid us of Ourselves

In a week from today, team Mozambique will be frantically trying to catch planes and get as much sleep as we possibly can. The LORD is moving! Like NO JOKE! I have never felt so close to the Lord as I do at this very moment. God has been doing amazing things through everyone on my team.

Last night, the team from 2007 came to our meeting and talked with us and prayed with us. They were so encouraging and really helped us prepare even more for what is in store for us. When we prayed, the Lord revealed to us so many things to us. God is HUGE. He is bigger than I can even fathom.

Matthew 11:4-6
Jesus told them, "Go back and tell John what's going on:
The blind see,
The lame walk,
Lepers are cleansed,
The deaf hear,
The dead are raised,
The wretched of the earth learn that God is on their side.
"Is this what you were expecting? Then count yourselves most blessed!"

Lord, this trip is Yours. Everything. We want this trip to be cosumed with You, and only YOU. You can bring words and peace and justice, that we cannot. I ask that you consume us with your passion and your love. Let everything we do, be for you. Let us speak of only Your words and let us only recieve Your thoughts, and nothing more. Guard our hearts Father, and protect us from the evil one. Rid us, of ourselves, of our sin, of our guilt, and fill our hearts with nothing but you.

We declare that we want to recieve You, and know You more. Lord I pray that you will cleanse our hearts, and our minds. We want to start fresh. Give us a clean pallet, an open heart. Rid our hearts of the things that are not You. We lift our hearts to you. We give you a blank slate. We ask that you will take them and write on them. Write Your Words on our hearts. Write your thoughts and you voice. Make it clear to us what YOU want, and nothing else. Again Lord, GUARD OUR HEARTS.

Ephesians 6:19-20
Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

We are madly in love with YOU God. We want to serve you as your people and as your sons and daughters. Thank you for loving us, and thank you for being so evident in our team, and in our prayers, and in our lives! You blow my mind LORD!

Mark 12:29-31
Jesus said, "The first in importance is, 'Listen, Israel: The Lord your God is one; so love the Lord God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence and energy.' And here is the second: 'Love others as well as you love yourself.' There is no other commandment that ranks with these."

Isaiah 55

Invitation to the Thirsty
1 "Come, all you who are thirsty,

come to the waters;

and you who have no money,

come, buy and eat!

Come, buy wine and milk

without money and without cost.

2 Why spend money on what is not bread,

and your labor on what does not satisfy?

Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,

and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.

3 Give ear and come to me;

hear me, that your soul may live.

I will make an everlasting covenant with you,

my faithful love promised to David.

4 See, I have made him a witness to the peoples,

a leader and commander of the peoples.

5 Surely you will summon nations you know not,

and nations that do not know you will hasten to you,

because of the LORD your God,

the Holy One of Israel,

for he has endowed you with splendor."

6 Seek the LORD while he may be found;

call on him while he is near.

7 Let the wicked forsake his way

and the evil man his thoughts.

Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him,

and to our God, for he will freely pardon.

8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts,

neither are your ways my ways,"

declares the LORD.

9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth,

so are my ways higher than your ways

and my thoughts than your thoughts.

10 As the rain and the snow

come down from heaven,

and do not return to it

without watering the earth

and making it bud and flourish,

so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,

11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth:

It will not return to me empty,

but will accomplish what I desire

and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

12 You will go out in joy

and be led forth in peace;

the mountains and hills

will burst into song before you,

and all the trees of the field

will clap their hands.

13 Instead of the thornbush will grow the pine tree,

and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.

This will be for the LORD's renown,

for an everlasting sign,

which will not be destroyed."
