A New Journey Begins

Wow, it's all happening so fast, I can barely keep up...but my spirit is racing within me, it knows that this is right. From the very beginning it has known. My mind can hardly process it all. I haven't journaled in months, but everything is still as fresh as the moment it happened. It's like this: any second that I want to remember an event, I feel like I have been physically transported back to that moment.

So my life has simply become an open book of all that I've seen and experienced- My life is simply a narrative. A compile of distinct treasures all wrapped up in a thought. And this is what I share with you.

Now, I am about to embark on a new adventure; a book I've never read, a view I've never seen. And it's the most exciting thing ever! It's my climb/ the last stretch before view is visible. And then...

It's beautiful! It's worth every weary moment, every aching step. This new view (and it has yet to be exposed to me), is the Compassion DTS at YWAM Denver that I have been given the privilege of being a part of.

And it's like I can see bits and pieces of what it will be like, but I won't be able to see the whole picture till I get to the very top of the mountain. Sure this view of it I have right now is beautiful, but I'm still looking up at the mountain...I have yet to look from atop it.

So, my point: It's ok if you can't see the full picture of where you are going (or what the journey will look like to get there), but enjoy every little glimpse you get. But don't settle for the glimpse, keep going to the top, the view will be worth the climb.

A New Season

   I have seen a great many things in my time here at YWAM Denver, but I hardly believe that I've even scratched the surface. God has me on a never ending journey where dull moments don't exist.


   So, here I am in Denver, Colorado, about to embark on my next great adventure, and I would like to invite you all in for the ride. For the next year, at least, I will be staffing at the YWAM Denver base. Here I will be discipleing others through the same process I myself went through nine months ago. They will be stretched, tried, broken and renewed! (Isn't God good! He loves us too much to not meet us where we're at, but He loves us even more not to leave us there.


So, yes. To all my friends back in Cali, I love you and will miss you. But to be honest, I hope you will all find your way out here and see (and want to be a part of) what God is doing here (or to do something back at home). For those of you to whom that seems interesting...come and check it out. The invitation is open. Also, you can find out more about YWAM Denver and what Purposes I am here for by checking out our web page at www.ywamdenver.org. However, it is through this page that I will be updating my personal experiences and eye witness account. So check often and enjoy!


God Bless. Amen!

Knowing the Father...unsearchable things

     The other day I was sitting in class here at YWAM Denver, when the speaker said something that never really hit me before. He said, "The Holy Spirit in us is closer than Christ in the fleash could ever get to us". That is why Jesus said that it is better that He go to the Father, so that He may send the Hold Spirit to live in us. And that Spirit in us is the Spirit of God, which directly connects us to the Father. ......Imagine with me for a moment. Jesus walks into the room and sits right next to you. He looks you straight in the eyes and says, "Now, I am here in front of you. You can see me, talk with me, and be held by me...But, ", then He draws closer to you, places His hand upon your chest and whispers, "...But, the Spirit of me and my Father lives closer to you than I could ever be. You can't see him...but you can talk directly to me and Father God because of him. Now, you see in part, but then you shall see things in full. You will feel the Father's heart leap in you when the Father sees broken people through your eyes. You will be bent over with pain for those who you don't even know. Yet, there be no greater joy when I show you the unsearchable things. For before the Spirit living in you, you were separated from knowing all about me- you couldn't find the unsearchable things even if you were to look everywhere and everyday for them. But, because you now have this Spirit in you, you will come to know these unsearchable things....". Then Jesus grabs your hand and as your Spirit lifts inside of you. You begin to feel emotions you've never known before and tears begin to run down your face when He says, "...you will come to know the unsearchable things...because I am going to give them to you. I want to give them to you. I want to bless you. I want to love you like you've never felt. I want to sing songs over you in the night and they will resound throughout your mind the next day, though you will not know the words. I will turn your brokeness into peace. I will turn your pride into humility. You will see my face, but not as you do now." Then He stops...He turns your face to Him and you open your eyes. Immediately you turn away. Something happened, now Jesus' face seems brighter. He then moves to look you in the eyes and this time you don't turn away. You know it's going to be bright, but you don't care. It's too beautiful a sight not to look. You begin to stare, this Spirit inside of you begins to turn in your stomach, your mouth wants to speak, but nothing comes. Jesus waves in front of your face as to bring your eyes back to the moment. He smiles as your eyes come back to rest on His and He asks you, "Are you ready for the greatest adventure you'll ever have?". You are unresponsive. It all seems like some sort of a dream. So Jesus asks again, still smileing, "Are you ready?". Your lips begin to mirror His as you nod your head. Suddenly, laughter bursts out in the room and next thing you know you and Jesus are laying on the ground side by side in laughter. All you can remember next is that you are overcome with an overwhelming peace and there is silence, but in the silence is a song, and you listen. It seems like hours have passed by when you finally open your eyes. Jesus is no longer in the room, but you still feel His pressence. Suddenly, you remember Jesus' words when He told you that the Spirit in you is closer than He could ever be to you. A smirk comes across your face. The feel of wet tears on your cheeks remind you of everything that you just felt in this new "spirit"of yours. You lay there running the whole thing over and over in your head, you don't want to forget...ever.                           The funny thing is that you won't forget if you only remember about that Spirit in you. It never leaves you, though in your forgetfulness, it may seem like it leaves. So remember. Don't forget that weird feeling you felt inside of you when you were still in your youth. Don't ever forget. He still wants to bless you. He still wants to give you great things. And He still wants to show you great and unsearchable things that you do not yet know....Aren't you curious?    I am!
