So I adore autumn...
It is certainly my most preferred season of all. The leaves are colored, the weather is exceptional, and as I have always said... fall is the time to FALL in love! =]
As the seasons change... so does our relationship with the Lord. If I would have to describe the season of my life as of now it would be summer... but not in a good way.. Summer is dry, hot, and I am always thirsty... It seems nothing can quench my thirt during summer time. I am always searching for something icy and soothing to hydrate my boddaayyy.
I feel the same way with God right now.... To come down from a moutain top experience to a time of nothing is quite difficult.. I am seeking but it seems as if I can't find Him. I pray and I hear nothing. I thirst for Him daily and yet this thirst still lingers. Everything has turned around... What I once thought I knew.. I no longer know. I attempt to trust in the Lord no matter what but seriously... I have not heard a word in months now. This dry, hot, summer season I hope soon will pass. I am holding on, but barely.
Autumn, please come soon.

Leaving it all behind.
Are we so in love with Christ that we are willing to let go all of which we are familiar with? So in love with Christ that we are willing to take up our cross and go.. no matter where it leads us? Does He consume our hearts in this manner?
He definitely should.....
After months of internal torment, I have realized it is time to leave all of the past behind, and focus on the present and the near future. It is time to take up my cross fully, and walk in the truths God has revealed.
How simple life becomes when we walk in those truths God has personally revealed. Worry fades and peace overfloweth in the hearts that chaseth after the Father. God is so miraculous. I am astonished that this One can love us so much, that He never leaves nor forsakes us. He remains faithful in the midst of our unfaithfulness. I am so undeserving of this Love, this Love that no mind can comprehend. This Love that brings me to my knees, He never leaves... He never leaves. In the wilderness, He is still there. Our King resides right "smack-dab" in the middle of hearts. We are not alone.
Chase after heart of the Father, take up the cross, get going.... Go.

The Beauty of Sin!?
Sin=separation from God.
What is the inclination of such a thing? Why do people so easily fall into sin?
The answer is more in depth than the church has taught. Churches like to teach sin as this defilement amongst all people that shouldn't be touched... which is lined with truth but there is much more to it.
The fact of the matter is... Sin is glamorous, appealing, pleasurable, and it is something people want to take part in. Humans are proned to such a thing... it is inevitable. Satan can appear as an angel of light but within is complete darkness. Sin should be recognized for what is. For it is truth that brings clarity and change.
It is crucial that the truth of sin be revealed to all so that a reversal can occur. So that the hearts of millions can be turned to the heart of the Saviour.
Fact: Mosts sins are fun, enjoyable yet they are only temporal.
Fact: What is disguised as fun fun fun, is ultimately a trapt that leads to bondage.
Fact: Bondage leads to death and death leads to the Lake of Fire.
Action needs to be taken and changes need to be made.
What can we do....
Bring light to the truths of sin, and cry out to God for hearts to be transformed.

"Let the dreams, not the memories consume you"
I serve an Almighty God. He cleanses me from my impurities and His loving-kindness is never-ending. His certainty consumes my uncertainty. I can not contain this Love that resides within.
Hebrews 11 is filled with men and women of mighty faith. They lived by the dreams God gave them, they had confidence in it, and they walked in it. My heart longs to walk in the dreams that God has given me. The certainties of where He is leading me. This peace He has given me is unexplainable, it is the just walking in it that is the constant struggle.
Leaders live by vision, for it is they who are the revolutionaries leaving a legacy rather than mere forgettable memories.
I want to leave a legacy for the glory of the Lord. This world needs the Lord, we must live in expectancy and walk in the dreams and visions the Lord gives.
