Revealed

At least once a week I get to listen to an amazing revelation that Jeffrey has heard in class, or from one of his housemates and Oh how I have learned!  Much to J's chagrin, I get to learn the good stuff, without sitting through all the "boring stuff".  In the past few months I have slowly began to learn about how deep the Father's love is for me. I grew up singing "Jesus Loves Me",  but somewhere in there, I think we should add a verse..."yes, Jesus loves me-no matter what I've done. Yes, Jesus loves me, He tells me I'm His one. Yes, Jesus loves me, through His grace I have won..."  The love that the Father has for us is far more imaginable than anything  we could ever hope to know. 

And speaking of love...Just about two weeks ago, I got a beautiful symbol of love from that boy of mine. Handcrafted and made just for me. Much like we are crafted and made for God, one of a kind. 

Wedding date is pending, but I can't wait to wrap myself in white(or ivory) and walk down the aisle to start my Great Adventure with Jeffrey at my side. 

If you don't understand the kind of love I'm talking about, ask God to show you. He will, He delights in it.

Healer Dude

That's my J.  He's a healer dude.  It's pretty cool. I like it when he calls me and tells me stories about seeing people healed.  Like the guy that had a stroke 2yrs ago that couldn't use his left leg so good...and then he walked away without his crutch.  Or the guy that had a fever, and 5 minutes later the fever is gone.  My personal favorite- the 8 year old boy who got poked in the eye by his little brother- eye is all bloodshot and red, after 2 prayers, perfectly fine.  

I"m really excited for all he's learning at Bethel.  And for all the nifty books he's readin', I'm not so sure how he feels about that! :-)

In May, he's trying to get to Ecuador, to see orphans that are healers too. And to just be a big hugger for those cute kiddos, and to visit dudes in prison....

If you wanna help him get there- you can!  Just visit here

He would be stoked! And so would I!! PS. You can take it off your taxes...

A Day in the Life...

Most people have been asking the same question of me lately, "Nashville! Why are you in Nashville?"



And so...I shall answer the 100million dollar question..... Because Jesus wants me there, to work mainly, but to do other things too...

But first the beginning...
A few months ago I was offered a job in Nashville, working for the same agency that I interned for last fall. But, I could never get the peace that I needed to move down and start to work. So I did what I hate to do, I waited. And I waited, and I waited. But somewhere in that waiting, God was slowly showing me that waiting doesn't just mean sitting in my room. Waiting means actively persuing what God is trying to show me. So after a few weeks of actively waiting, one night I got a phone call.
It was a wonderful friend that I met last year in Nashville. She was calling to offer me one of her bedrooms to stay in while I picked up some work...for free. She and her husband, and her 2 adorable boys, have graciously let me crash into their home for a few nights a week, so that I can work.



So that's it. I'm working in Nashville, a few days a week, AND I'm still able to come home most weekends to be involved in worship at church.
All in all- God's plan is WAY better than anything I could ever, think, hope or dream...but then again, He already told me it was....


Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

^"How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone." James 4:14

Today is a sad day. But a day like today always reminds me that life truly is like a vapor. Here one minute and gone the next.  

A very good friend of mine said to me today, What's it all worth Hannah? We work and work, but we can't take it with us...what good is it? 
What good is life, if we don't point everyone we know in the direction of the One who Gives Life? Honestly, it's worth nothing.  A few years ago, I'm not sure I would have had an answer to that question. All I wanted in life was success and money.  But over the last year, I've learned that the ultimate calling and responsibility is for us to be so immersed in Jesus that He is what we work towards. He is the ultimate success. Being able to tell my friend, that we have to choose where we spend eternity, was one of the best minutes of this sad day.  He knows it, but sometimes we run from it.  

Life isn't about money.fame. fortune. Because in the end, you can't take it with you. Life is about showing a lost world, just who Jesus is. It's about being so in love with Him that He is all you desire.  In the end, it'll all work out. 

Life is a vapor. Here one minute and gone. Are you living so that your vapor of a life will impact someone else? Or are you living only for yourself?
