Its Your Time

Its Your Time!

Scripture for the day...

And Wisdom and Knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: The Fear of the Lord is His treasure. Isaiah 33:6


What a celebration ought to be going on inside you at this moment. There ought to be a threefold celebration going on in your heart right now. First, you ought to look back over the times of obscurity, when He was plowing and fertilizing you, and thank God that you are still here to attest to His sustaining power. A lesser vessel would not have survived your testimony . Second, look around you at the blessings that you have right now. With a twinkle in your eye and a melody in your heart, thank God for what He is doing even at this moment. Your freshly cultivated ground is full of seeds and unborn potential. Who knows all that God has planted in you. He has begun a work - a good work - in you. Celebrate that every time you wake up in the morning. Look over your straw covered fields, fan back the birds of doubt and fear, and thank God. Breathe the fresh air into your grateful lungs, be glad just to be here

Third, you should celebrate what God is about to do in your life. Your heart ought to be thumping in your chest; your blood ought to be racing like a car engine about to peel rubber! You are about to step into the greatest harvest of your life The enemy knows that you are about to be harvested. That’s why he fought you like he did. He realizes that this is your time. Don't you? A powerful prophetic move is about to explode over your life. Are you ready for the Word of the Lord that was spoken over you to come to pass? Get ready! Hurry, get your mind ready, change your clothes! Put on your shouting shoes! When the news that’s in your spirit gets to your mind, tears of joy will wet the runway for your take-off. Don't ever read about anyone else and wish you were him. Don't ever wish that you had lived at any other time. You were created for this moment-and this moment was created for you! Stop reading and look at the clock. Laugh to yourself and praise your GOD. Do you know what time it is? It's your time!

Where I'm Ment to Be!

5 day's and counting!! Ready to go, but it’s bitter sweet! I’m not good at goodbye and it’s a lot more difficult then I had ever expected. Leaving one loving family, but coming home to another! I really am a lucky girl! I can’t help but be as excited as a 5 year old on Christmas Eve!! I can’t sit still!! I have made a million lists and packed and repacked at least 5 times!!


Sunday was my send off at St. Martin’s a community that I have grown to love so much! After the service someone asked me if I was scared about going, it’s funny because I have gone threw so many emotions in the past few weeks but fear was never one of them! I have never been more certain of anything in my life. I know I am being called to Africa and it’s where I am meant to be!! That's a bold statement for me but I have such a peace about it! Can't wait to me on the ground and hug all the people I have missed so much over the past two years!

19 Days!!

Hi Everyone!
I have officially enter the blogisphere! Which completely freaks me out, but as part of the next season in my life I am doing this that are outside my comfort zone. So hear I go!!

As most of you already know I am heading back to Africa on Aug 29th for a year to volunteer with Hands At Work. I an amazing organization that works in the most vulnerable communities across sub-Saharan Africa where HIV/AIDS, poverty and numbers of orphans are highest and support structures are very low. They help the local church in those communities to effectively care for the orphaned and vulnerable. There ministry is to all those in need, regardless of race, class or religion.

It seems like everyday for the past 2 years I have thought about going back! I am so excited that the day is fast approaching! I will keep everyone posted on my preparation.

Thank you all for your support and prayers!

Stay tuned, it is going to be an unbleievable year!
