Week Twenty-Four: 03/26-03/30

Week Twenty-Four: 03/26-03/30 John 19:30 “ So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.” Before coming to IGNITE, two people had a vision for me. The vision was that I was running but as I ran, my feet would get cut up even though I was wearing shoes. The reason I was getting cut up was because my shoes had holes in them. In this season here in Cambodia God has shown me that although I believe in Jesus and the cross, there are holes or misconceptions of who Jesus is and what He accomplished through the cross. This season has been all about Jesus becoming my everything and learning to trust Him, to no longer be hurt by past sin and the things of the world. This week is our last week and we also get to celebrate Good Friday and Easter. As a team we’ve been going through the book of John and on Friday I got to teach on John 19. I don’t think that this was a coincidence, knowing the Lord is sover

Week Twenty-Three: 03/19-03/23

  Week Twenty-Three: 03/19-03/23   Leviticus 26:13 "I   am  the  Lord  your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that  you  should not be their slaves; I have broken the bands of your yoke and made you walk upright.”              It’s easy to forget where you came from and how you got to the place you are. It’s easy to dwell on the past and lose sight of all that’s right in front of you. This week has been challenging for me because I’ve found myself wandering back to old thoughts; thoughts of fear and doubt. As we draw near to the ending of field time and preparations for the next season of life at home, I’m nervous. It’s slightly due to the fact that I have to face some old giants that I’ve put aside in my time here. Going home means working on broken relationships with my family and sharing the work that the Lord has done in and through me over this year. I’ve begun to think that maybe these giants are too big. Maybe they wont believe that I

Week Twenty-Two: 03/12-03/16

Week Twenty-Two: 03/12-03/16 Ezekiel 16:1-14                                    During a worship night on November 5 th , 2017 the Lord gave me the word beloved. I didn’t understand why because I honestly didn’t believe that He was my beloved and I was His. Yet this became my only desire for this time in Cambodia. We went to the Russian market later that week and passed by a store that handmade jewelry and I knew I wanted to get that word in Khmer on a ring. Through this season, I believe the Lord has begun to give me a deeper understanding of His love for me. The cross has become more than just what took away my sin, but a symbol of the depths of the Father’s love for me. This Sunday during worship, Izzy approached me and asked to talk about what God had spoken to her during that song. While she was praying for me, the Lord gave her this passage for me and she was reminded of four years ago when her leader brought her to get a ring that had a similar

Week Twenty-One: 03/05-03/09

Week Twenty-One: 03/05-03/09 John 6:35 “ And Jesus said to them,  “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.” Our hearts are restless until they find rest in Jesus. Until we are fully satisfied in Jesus, we will continue to hunger and thirst. Prior to this year, I sought the Lord but not solely for Jesus. I sought Him for means other than Himself. Because of that, I was constantly disappointed when things didn’t turn out the way I anticipated them to. Believing in Jesus is feeding and drinking in all the Jesus is, finding true satisfaction in Him alone. There is nothing beyond and nothing better. Jesus is like a never-ending fountain of life that leads us to God. Faith in Christ leads us to this fountain that never runs dry. By receiving this, we are set free from the illusion that sin and the things of this world will satisfy. I never want to life a life where I chase anything b
