Tonight
I sit in a neighborhood tonight after living in the middle of nowhere for a most amazing month... and it is weird.
It is really weird to be in an Americanized place.....
I think about the kids in Egypt tonight.
I think about the Christian families and schoolteachers in Pakistan tonight.
I think about those sleeping in slums... and those who live in dangerous life-threatening villages.
I think about those who are ignorant of what is going on.
I realized this week that to FEEL what GOD FEELS is costly...
Example:
God's heart was broken over His Israel who kept running away from Him. Hosea felt something like this when God asked him to marry a prostitute who would love other men and raisin cakes.
God still pursued Israel.
Hosea still pursued his wife of prostitution.
God still pursues us..........
Let's pursue the lost, the poor, the prostitute, the rich, and the hungry with the love of Jesus... How costly is this? What will this look like for me? For you?
Let's do the radical things.
I dont know if that made sense but i needed to write it down.

Is it Worth It???
Hello all.
I am challenged today to do what I know God has called me to do. I am still doing what He wants, I am giving all I am to do this in a way that is pleasing to Jesus no matter what it costs me... Unfortunately, the enemy really really likes to attack the Lord's children who are obedient to Him and love Him. The wonderful amazing thing is that it feels like it has been years since I have been challenged like I am being here---And a great exciting challenge it is! For a long time, even though challenges are hard, they really excite me more than most things... Why?
Because I grow the most when challenged.
And because I like to be victorious over these challenges.
My name means: Vigilant Sign of Victory.....who can sew(Taylor--Tailor)
I feel as though victory is built into my being, and I want to push others into victory in the Son of God.
Here are some things I have been meditating on:
The Lord's goodness to the poor-spiritual and material and relational
We are all poor.
The comfort of and from the love of God is the only TRUE COMFORT and we can only minister that to others once we receive it from the Father, Himself.
In the world we have perverted what comfort really is and how it comes into effect in our lives.
God is faithful to do what it takes to lead you to trust Him... even when it hurts.
I want to follow Him
Jesus, my friends, is worth the fight in the challenge of following Him.
Knowing He loves me
Trusting He sees me
Believing He leads me

So..... What's up?
Hello Friends!
Sifat has been so very wonderful these past few days. The Lord has been doing a lot in my heart as my job is actually to lead worship...... everyday. I am pumped about students coming in on Sunday and appreciate your prayers for everything to come together like God desires.
Here are some things we can think on....

How are YOU in POVERTY?
How are YOUR hands OPEN to GOD?
Are YOU ready to move WITH God?
Are you trusting?
Much love

June 1, 1930 - One new lesson(BY FRANK LABAUCH)
June 1, 1930 - One new lesson
Inwardly this has been a very uneven week. As a whole my end of the
experiment has been failure for most of the week. My physical condition
and too many distractions have proven too much for me, and God has not
been in the center of my mind for one-fifth of the time, or perhaps onetenth.
But today has been a wonderful day, and some of yesterday was
wonderful. The week with its failures and successes has taught me one new
lesson. It is this: “I must talk about God, or I cannot keep him in my mind.
I must give Him away in order to have Him.” That is the law of the spirit
world. What one gives one has, what one keeps to oneself one loses.
Do you suppose that through all eternity the price we will need to pay for
keeping God will be that we must endlessly be giving him away?
