This entry will be straight up (abundant in tactful honesty). justa lil heads up.
life has been a season of transition lately. and by lately, i mean the last…. 8 weeks? heck - since Jan 1, when God laid the word “Relentless” as the word of 2008. No, I’ve never had a word for the year… but I’d recommend asking God for a word to define 2009 for your life. the number 8 signifies new beginnings - and its exactly what 2008 would be classified as if analyzed day by day. Many things aren’t visible from the surface yet, but I know they’ve been remolded/renovated/rejuvinated. a good chunk of that God’s done through what I’ve seen on the streets.
Alot of the people from home reading this are probably like.. “the streets?! girl?! what are you doing out on the streets?! Don’t you realize thats dangerous?!”
Well.. yes. But do you realize that people on the streets are hurting just as bad, if not worse, than the people you allow yourself to be around from day to day? Money, upbringing, demographics, musical preference, stereotypes, cultural norms, physical apperance … shouldn’t be the indicator of who its ok to talk to, show love to...
its incredible what walls can be shattered by a simple smile of genuine joy.
In Matthew 25, Jesus says ‘what you have done for the least of these, you have done for me.” In this stage of my life, this refers to the streets. Black, white, hispanic, asian, “other” - True compassion doesn’t see color, language, or status. It sees the heart, the pain, the helplessness and chooses to offer restoration through Christ.
In light of that - heres the visual update - where broken people who have been made whole in His eyes meet the currently broken to show them the Hope of wholeness in Christ.
it happens
May 6, 2008
just havent been in writing moods lately. well, i retract that. writing moods for the masses. God’s been doin work lately. so much to the point where i dont even know what to say about it..other than.. oh my.
He’s finally allowed friendships to form here. good friendships. with purpose for our lives as well as others, right now mainly teens. 2 years ago i was not super inclined to high schoolers. i “dealt” with them. well then God dealt with me. broke me. thats when the marion girls, particularly jackie roorbach.. man i miss her.
i was PLACED in indianapolis with purpose. its slowly being revealed, piece by piece. i know more than i could ever tell, but once it happens, people will have a tangible thing to see how Gods promises prevail.
Unashamed Teen Ministry. If youre a person of prayer, which I know not everyone who reads this is… lift these teens up. Healing Streams Word and Worship Center is located in what most white people would call the ghetto. Nah. Its up n coming. The work the Holy Spirit is doing in those places that people write off before entering…. watch out. ha! These teens at the Streams get it. They understand. most think of teens as being troubled, lost, hopeless… break that stronghold in the name of Jesus… They are pillars of revival in this nation.
The things we have seen (we being the leadership for the TM)… are fire.. makings of an army for the Lord.
wow. gettin all ..*wooo* just thinkin about what it will look like.
anyways. thats my update. “why isnt it about whats going on in your life?” because thats not what im here for. Gods got me taken care of. Just know that its a safer location to be in the hands of your Dad then to have the things that make you look stable to the world. (money, house.. etc).
Got enough to give and enough to live. but believing for abundance period. its coming 
peace
