| He leads us beside awesome waters :) |
Well, I am at the coffee shop to journal, and without a pen. So probably this will be a blog, hahaha. I guess if I bother to type it I may as well share it.
I'm so touched by the kindness of God to speak to us. His voice is just so kind to lead. He loves us so much. And I love the journey with him. I love the mysterious way he reveals himself all the time. After teaching about 4 times in Brazil about "hearing God", I think I am really starting to believe that he speaks to me all the time.
I have really been encouraged by friends testimonies of all the different ways that God speaks to them. He reminds us of his love in secret personalized code just for us. haha. For one he reminds through frequent sitings of ladybugs, for one its cardinals, for one its emotional breakdowns on mountaintops in various countries, for some its reoccurring numbers that we see everywhere with some kind of significance, a reminder, and encouragement. Whatever it is, its this constant whisper, "I am with you always. I will never leave you. I AM with you."
I am on a journey with the Lord. I am watching for him and listening for him in the ordinary, everyday.
A few days ago, I was riding the train/bus from my friends in Fort Worth to my family in Allen. It was my first time to be making the transfer at night at the bus stop in Dallas. Things get a little interesting at night in public transportation in Dallas. So I am standing there, and I notice the big number 121 lit up on the train. And I notice it in that way, that I know is the Lord wanting me to pay attention. So later I looked up Psalm 121, its all about the protection of the Lord.
Ps 121:7,8
The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
Thank you God. His promises are so sweet, especially when he whispers them to us and lets us know its real for us. He is so personal.

| Commissioned with love by the children Brazil |
I went out of town visiting friends for the past 3 weeks. And I felt that the Lord was going to give me some specific direction for the next steps for my life. And I felt that it would be really fun and honoring to ask my parents to ask him for specific words about my next steps and wherever I go. So I did.
And this morning, one of the things God showed my mom was this revelation about how the Lord leads birds in their migration and seasons and they listen to him and follow.
Jeremiah 8:7
Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons, and the dove, the swift and the thrush observe the time of their migration….
And the Sunday before I left Brazil 6 weeks ago, I had been really touched by a friend prophesying over me that I was like a bird in migration, who would come and go in the right seasons…
Thank you Jesus for confirmations. And for speaking to us as a body. Thank you that we prophesy in part and we get to share our parts and see more of the picture. Thank you God for speaking. And that you are always with me! The great I AM.
