The journey...


From living a life of complete solitude to who I really was... then taking a trip to the southern hemisphere... my life was transformed. Not by men... by words... but by the truth of God. His son... my saviour. lover. best friend. the thing i live for. the reason i chose to live in a middle eastern nation for four months... the one who set me free from the lies i lived in and believed... the one who conquered my feen for alcohol by his death on a cross... though it was embarrasing and shameful at times... he revealed the dark in my heart and took it away... I am alive. I am living. I am set free. I am sharing truth. Fighting for the sake of others... Risk my friendships... my connection with loved ones... I am living by faith. Because he is worth it... worth it all.. I have been back in AUS since November.... traveled to the land of Zulu traditions for three months and arrived back in Perth a few weeks ago... have been called yet again to live by faith... trusting the lord as my father and provider... on my way to the first world... landing in Paris in a few days... fighting against the enemy for the salvation of god's children in that place.... living a life.. of going. going. going..... taking moments to refresh myself in the goodness of god... taking in the beauty of friends. the beauty of laughter. the beauty of finding delight in listening to someone else's story... the beauty in sitting in the presence of people that do or dont know god... hmm... i am rambling.. and if you know me... i do that best... but am going to try and figure out how to use this blog thing... put some photos up and post some testimonies from the last discipleship training school.. i was staffing within Youth With A Mission... having the priviledge of seeing a part of my generation be transformed for the sake of christ... to see the struggles... to be able to share what i have learned and to be an example as others have been one to me. To be a voice. To stand strong.... Oh ya. I am a missionary. Crazy as it sounds to me... but that is not my identity... i am still finding that out... ;)
