Revival. I am the God who created you, filled your lungs with breath. Do you sometimes wonder why? Are you confused by all the different voices shouting at you? Listen to me. I not only know the way, I AM THE WAY. Give your anger to Me. Bring Me your wounds. I am able to […]
Revival. What do I need to be revived about? If I had one wish to be granted, what would I like to be free of? Do I really want to be free of it? What is happening within me? Am I growing? Am I alive? Or do I sense that there is an increasing darkness […]
Revival. What about it? Does it have anything to do with me? Good question. Only you know the answer to that. What does your heart say? Is it hungry? Is it thirsty? A starving body needs reviving. Is that starving body you? If so, revival is for you! God delightfully invites you to life. Well, […]
Revival. How do you react to that word? What does it mean to you? What is your first thought when you hear the word, REVIVAL? Do you long for the Spirit of God to work deeply in your heart, in the church’s heart? Why or why not? Allow this word, revival, to reside in your […]
It is midnight and my plane pierces the darkness, leaving behind the fading lights below, the only visible sign of inhabitation. The moon lies on its back and I settle in for a night’s sleep, reflecting on my stay at HopeCC. I had just found out this morning that my sick sister had […]
I love storms!! I love the furious clouds that swirl and twist and turn in their mad dance, hovering over the earth. I love to see the power of nature burst forth in thunder and lightning, unpredictable where it may strike next. Our home is perfectly situated – on a hill. I can see for miles and take in the ominous (that was one of my mom’s favourite words) skyline. Sometimes I can’t see very far at all because of the blanket of fog which has wrapped itself around our dwelling. I’d love to be present during a tornado or hurricane – as long as I am safe, as an observer but not a participant. Is that even possible?
Life brings storms. Sometimes little disturbances and sometimes huge ripping, tearing of the soul and spirit….
I left for Kenya on March 20th, 2013 for my stay of 11 days. Since the Kenyan election was held on March 4th and the unpredictability of peace was present, I went by myself instead of taking a group of people with me. It was very different being by myself at HopeCC but the boys’ talking and laughter on the other side of the wall in the boys’ dorm where I was staying, kept me entertained and put a smile on my face. It was a busy week for me, teaching and speaking with the students. It was a great though stretching!
