Flying Upside Down

What do we tend to hold on to?

What do we think is really our own?

Pondering the old and the new,

We get nothing but the fruit of the seeds that we have sewn.

For when we lay down our rights,

We find rest as we become free.

It sometimes doesn't make sense at first sight,

But in giving up, we become all that we can be.

This week, we had the immense honor of having Loren Cunningham speak to our school for the whole week. His message is so clearly spoken through experience and a true friendship with Jesus. He is real, and that is evident when he speaks. Loren spoke on the love of the Lord and the laying down of our rights. He has such authority to speak in this area due to his radical testimony (read Is That Really You, God? if you get the chance).

When we really think about it, laying down our rights at first sight is probably one of the hardest things to do, because it takes a deep and intimate trust with Father. But what we tend to forget and oversee is the pure freedom we gain in giving up everything in order to follow our King to the ends of the earth. And let's face it, the end of the earth is coming speedily, everything but our gaze upon the Lord and our walk with Him will fall to the wayside.

When the reality of Jesus coming back penetrates our mind, we need to realize that it is worth giving up everything for to prepare the way. It is worth it and it is glorious. This is why I am taking a team to Iceland. We feel the need to go and prepare the way of the King.

We desire to see Iceland awaken to the light of who Jesus is by stoking the flame of revival in the land and to develop communities centered around the power and love of Jesus.

When we hold on to worries and fears and when we can't let go of the things in our life for the sake of our King, our vision begins to perish, and we will miss out on the reality of revival in the nations needed to prepare the way.

Freedom is beautiful, why not step into it with nothing weighing you down?

I am heading out around March 30th for Iceland for 3 months. I am still in need of financial support. I need another $500 monthly to be able to stay on campus and to pour into the lives of my students so they may know who they are and who the Lord truly is. It has been the most amazing thing I could be apart of, and I want to continue to run with these amazing people! Along with that, by February 3rd, I need the first $1000.00 for outreach to be able to purchase plane tickets and get everything ready for us to go!Thank you all for your prayers and support. Please continue to pray above all. It means so much to me. If you feel led to help support me, that would be a tremendous blessing. Just click the "information" tab above to find out how!

Thanks so much...
