Let's Get Real, Shall We?

Hello!
So I have been convicted that I’m writing this blog like a report, rather than communicating my heart.

Why am I writing this blog?
If it’s just to record events that have happened to me, then it’s not a good enough reason.

I desire honesty. Growth. Freedom! Revelation! Jesus!
When I’m talking to someone, I’m more interested in their heart attitudes and real testimonies, than any extravagant list of things they did during their week.

So, I apologize. For the surface reports. May this blog be more about my personal experiences with God, and less about me and my groovy life. John 3:30!
I invite you to come along, engage, and I pray that you will be intrigued, challenged, and encouraged!

So, let’s get real shall we?

A couple weeks ago we had a speaker and he talked about identity. He challenged us to write out truths about ourselves. Here is a little of mine, just so we're all on the same page.


I am the 4th child and only daughter of Peter and Bonita. I was born and raised in Winnipeg, lived overseas in New Zealand and had my 2 formative years of adulthood on the West Coast of Canada.
I have so many hopes and dreams and personal strong convictions, it really bothers me when I am generalized as person, or have been tried to be put in a category so that other people can file me in a little box and from that, predict my next move. I have a strong nurturing character, I love caring for people and having deep meaningful conversations about the Lord.

I am fascinated by life itself. God has given me a passion for Women’s ministry, purity, and truth. I have a passion for other cultures, midwifery, and wholistic simple living.
I am most satisfied and fulfilled when in the presence of the Father; I was born to worship God with my words, song, mind, deeds, and my body. I love art and creativity gets me excited. I love fresh new vision and dynamic leadership.

My life as an adventure with Jesus makes my heart beat fast and I get butterflies in my stomach... Jesus’ love thrills my heart to no end and I desire to live in complete surrender to His voice. Joy has been something that has been called over my life ever since becoming a Christian and I believe He is using me to sow seeds of peace and hope along every path God leads me on.

My heart is warmed when people feel encouraged, I feel privileged when I can speak the truth into other’s lives, and I desire to see Christians set free and victorious.
I have yet a lot to discover, but am holding Jesus’ hand tight as He leads me to the place where my greatest desires and the world’s greatest hunger meet.

Galatians 5:25. “Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.”
