Re-upping the Blogging

I'm going to blog again. It's a new season for me and I think I need to do this.

For the first time ever, since being in Kansas City for a year, I am
1. On full-time staff at the International House of Prayer: ihopkc.org
2. Have the best set of roommates a girl could ask for: Lauren, Jenny, Regina and Bethany
3. Encountering the love of Jesus via serving Kyl Means, the man I'm in love with
4. Have the least amount of financial stability in my life
5. Knowing that the God of the Universe, the Genesis 1 Creator and Wisdom himself, Jesus, knows me, sees me, fights for me and loves me.

I trust that plenty of hardships will come in the next months, but beautiful moments of glory trump any of that. For these momentary light afflictions are working in me an eternal weight of glory. It's the truth and reality of eternity staring me right in the face that causes my heart to burn with desire and passion to see the captive set free, the lost saved and Jesus my Bridegroom, King and Judge face to face one day.

This is what I'm made for: to love God and to receive His love for me.

Transformation. Regeneration. Sanctification.
Mercy. Compassion. Justice.
Righteousness. Humility. Hunger.
Prophecy. Weakness. Joy.

Love.
