50. Honduras 01.18.20

50. Having a wonderful time seeing the Lord work in the lives of the people here. I’m honestly having a very difficult time gathering the words needed to express the events of the past few days. Faith can move mountains. There hasn’t been one person that we have prayed for that hasn’t been healed.
The way this area is effected by both the glory of the Lord and the grips of the enemy is breathtaking and eye opening. I pray that the Lord continues to use us all in any way He deems necessary. You look to the left and see a beautiful beach and can take pictures that would make everyone believe they are in paradise. Then you walk a block and there are homes that are gated and have barbed wire protecting them. There are walls built around homes and churches. There are horses and cows walking around on the beach. There are wild dogs on the beach and in the streets. People ride bikes everywhere. Children are playing instruments in the streets for money. You don’t realize how fortunate you are.
What I also noticed was how much simpler life is here. They live to work, to eat and to keep a roof over their heads. They aren’t distracted by which toy they’re buying next. They aren’t rushing a thousand miles an hour from the time they wake up until the time they go to sleep. They appreciate things more than we do. The Lord yearns for the humble. I am blown away by this experience.

258. Is Jesus Enough?

Is Jesus enough for you? What if we never arrive? What if like Moses you wander in the desert for years only to have the Joshua generation be the one to enter the promised land? The land that was originally promised to Abraham 42 generations prior. 42 generations it took to fulfill that promise.  What if you’re generation 37, or 16, or 5 or 41. What if your family is this close to the breakthrough of the promised land that you’ve been praying for, and you give up now? What if you take the bait of the enemy and quit before you reach the finish line? Or worse yet, you give up, erase the efforts of every generation before you, and your kids or grandkids never meet Jesus at all.  This is your reminder…don’t fall for it. Same evil tactics different worldly package. All designed to kill, steal and destroy.  Satan doesn’t have to take your life if he can take your peace, wrap you in groundhog’s days, and have you spread that woe is me, lack of joy under a “Christian” label, like...

244. Out of the Wilderness

  The Lord is calling you. He's calling you deeper. He's calling you higher. He's calling you to become more of His and less of what this world calls "Christian" and gets away with. He's calling you, to gather all the broken pieces of the past and He is leading you, to help you put them back together again.  This morning during worship the Lord led me to an open field. There was a half broken down stage like the aftermath of a weekend music festival. I was walking the disheveled grounds kicking through trash and broken down campsites. So much mess left behind without a care or thought in the world. Our pasts can feel the same. So much junk, so much carnage, so much chaos left behind.  I grabbed a large trash bag and began cleaning. As I continued to gather things up, the ground was transforming. The season was shifting. The air felt lighter, the leaves in the surrounding trees began to change and a fresh autumn breeze began to blow through the field. As the la...

250. Stay North Ash

  Testimony time! Change is hard for some people, especially during the holidays. While many others handle change with ease, I tend to handle it like a cat thrown in a bathtub. Settling in here hasn’t been much different. So much change.  In many areas it’s been a blessing and the perfect fit, but I’d be lying if I said being this far away from Leah wasn’t the hardest thing I’ve ever done. While she’s amazingly independent, I always thought she’d be away at college before I couldn’t just stop by if she ever needed me for anything.   This has led to me questioning the Lord on a lot of things, and led to me wondering if us moving to Morgantown would be a good fit for the next season the Lord has coming up over the horizon.   How many of you have experienced something similar? You pray, the Lord answers, you obey, then you’re in it. You’re smack dab in the middle of what you prayed for and it ends up challenging you to grow in ways you never thought possible.  You ...
