breaking the ground

Sow for yourselves righteousness,
reap the fruit of unfailing love,
and break up your unplowed ground;
for it is time to seek the LORD,
until he comes
and showers righteousness on you.
Hosea 10:12

Jesus wants to go deeper into my heart. He wants to invade the places I have not let him in; to the unplowed ground.
Breaking unplowed ground is hard. It is venturing into areas you have not gone before. I don't know what will be shown but Jesus is making me new and i'm thankful that he will always be making me new.

I know I have posted this video before but God speaks to me through this song alot.

a love realtionship

Hosea 6:3
Let us acknowledge the Lord;
let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
he will appear;
he will come to us like the winter rains,
like the spring rains that water the earth

I love how this says let us press on to acknowledge him! Those days when we feel like we are in a rut and dont want to press in because we may think we wont learn anything or are just too focused on our self circumstances, he wants us to press in to acknowledge, which means to recognize Him. He says he will come to us and be close! He will refresh us!

He desires a relationship with us like that of Hosea 2:14-20. In those verses He talks about alluring a woman. Looking back in my life I can see how He was pursuing me all the time and still is! He also says you will call me 'my husband'. And in verses 19-20 He talks about how He will be 'betrothed' to me forever, or engaged in marriage! He wants to have this intimate relationship with us, like that of a husband. Someone who knows you the best, who you share everything with, who you love with all your heart!

I pray that we can all have this kind of relationship with Jesus. Jesus, come invade my heart to the places I have not let you into before.

overwhelmed by your love

     I remember when Jr and I felt God calling us to ywam, when we realized going there was a reality. I remember talking about it and saying it was over a year away. Now it is four and a half months away. We have purchased our plane tickets and it is the reality that we are going.

     In these past few weeks whenever I think about ywam I start to get this overwhelming feeling. It's not a bad overwhelming, its an overwhelming of God's love. He is blessing us with this season of preparing for ywam and ywam itself. Sometimes I find my self just so in awe of God because He has put this desire into our hearts and is blessing us with it! I also find myself thinking this is a dream, too good to be true. But it is reality and we are going. Our Father only wants the best for us and His plans are so good and are true.

I want to thank everyone that has supported us in our fundraising and prayers. Please don't stop praying for us, we need all the prayer we can get!
