After your heart September 3, 2009

Jesus, here I am your favorite one What are You thinking, what are You feeling? I have to know For I am after Your heart I’m after Your heart I’m after You

I’ll take my cold, cold heart
I’ll take my unrenewed mind
I’ll take Your word in my hand
And I’ll give You time, to come and melt me
I can’t even love You unless You call my name
I can’t even worship unless You anoint my heart
I can’t even want to unless You want me first
So come fan the flame
Do what only You can do – Come fan the flame
Do what only You can do – Come fan the flame
Do what only You can do – Come fan the flame
Do what only You can do
Just let my heart be alive
Let me be living deep, deep on the inside
Just let my heart be alive
Let me be living deep, deep on the inside
Come fan the flame

warrior princess September 3, 2009

Your life is a Love story set in the midst of a life-and-death battle. The beauty, the adventure, the intimacy- they are what are most real. But it is a battle to gain them and a battle to keep them. A battle for your own heart and a battle for the hearts around you. “The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is his name” (Ex. 15:3). Jesus fights on your behalf and on behalf of those you love. He asks you to join Him.

 

We the Bride of Christ….A Warrior Princess!

I couldn’t be happier… Plain and simple.

Who’s your daddy? August 19, 2009

I don’t want a normal life… I want to be radical in my every day life, in everything I do, say, think, and speak.  I desire for others to intimately KNOW Christ by knowing me and Him working through me..

I’ve been praying that God would do something outrageous. That He would shake me and break me until everything I thought I knew about Him is no longer there.. I want more of Him. More of who He really is and not who I’ve perceived Him to be. Although I absolutely adore Him and fear Him,  I still fail to give Him the credit and praise He deserves.

Whoever you need Him to be… HE IS

That’s MY daddy!

So I’m ready.

Break me.

Mold me.

Shape me.

Use me.

Give me a voice that is loud and clear, a passion that’s real, a creative and fresh way to reach the lost, and your Holy Spirit in me to shake the nations.

So I want to change the world..

how? August 19, 2009

7 of us now share 1 bathroom and shower. Haven’t had one fight yet. After I think about it, I think that’s pretty darn impressive.

Look to Him August 17, 2009

• A man’s deepest wounds come from the way his question was answered in his youth. Just like yours. You won’t begin to understand a man until you understand his question (‘Do I have what it takes?’), his wound, and how Adam fell. His search for validation is the driving force of his life. Yes, a woman can offer so much. But she cannot be the validation of his soul. A man goes to Eve to offer his strength. He does not go to her to get it.
• The same holds true for us women too, Eve. You cannot look to him for the validation of your soul. But so many women do. If I have a man, then I’m okay. Then I’m loved. Girls who were confident and corurageous in their youth become uncertain in their teens. Girls who used to have lots of interests and opinions and dreams suddenly seem depressed, lost, obsessed about their looks and about the attention of boys. The shift is simply this: they have taken their question (‘Am I lovely?’) to Adam. No man can tell you who you are as a woman. No man is the verdict on your soul.
• Only God can speak the answer you need to hear.
• Until we look to Him for the healing of our souls, our relationships are really hurt by this looking-to-each-other for something only God can give.

James 1:2-4 Whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy. For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything.

King of Glory August 14, 2009

King of glory, hear my cry

It’s your heart I long to know

Your kindness and relentless love

To this world I will somehow show.

Gaze into my eyes

Look deep into my heart.

You have been close all along,

You never left me from the start.

You are my beloved

I am yours and you are mine.

Fan this flame that’s deep within

This light of mine, oh let it shine.

May your name be lifted high

All honor and glory to you.

I bow at your throne in all your splendor

Although my words are few.

Drench me in your sweet love

Teach me to walk in Your will

Saturate my soul.

I am desperate for you still.

Surrounding me is your beauty:

The way a bird can fly

The colors of the morning sunrise

and the mysteries of the sky.

Rid me of myself.

Cleanse me and make me new.

This world has nothing for me

All I want is you.

I will dance, I will sing

Take me under the shadow of your wing.

I will dance, I will sing

All for you, my glorious King.

Good byes.. August 14, 2009

Chad and Leslie will be missed dealy!! They have been such a blessing as they have invested in so many of us at CRCC. We are praying for them as they head out on an eleven month mission to reach the different countries of this world. I pray that they would be blessed and renewed and that the glory of God would be revealed to them wherever they go. Continue to keep them in your prayers!

People get ready August 14, 2009

We are the apple of our Father’s eye. ‘In a most watchful and tender manner: the apple of the eye is the aperture in it, which lets in rays of light into the retina where the images of things are formed. The LORD says that he cares for us as we guard the pupil of the eye.’

I sense the Lord doing something big in my heart, in our church, and in this city. The Hinge is coming up (August 29th).  I am expecting the Holy Spirit to blow His mighty wind on our city and in the downtown area of Greenville.  Many of you have been fasting and going to the Lord to interceed for this city’s healing and revival. I am ready and I anticipate what the Lord is stirring in the hearts of His children.

Jesus, your name is power August 14, 2009

This song has been on constant replay in my mind lately… It paints a picture in my mind of how powerful and worthy the Lord is of all my praise.  I can sing it and hear it a million times and still, it would be fresh to my ears and heart.

 

Worthy is the,
Lamb who was slain
Holy, Holy, is He
Sing a new song, to Him who sits on
Heaven’s Mercy Seat

Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
With all creation I sing:
Praise to the King of Kings!
You are my everything,
And I will adore You…!

Clothed in rainbows, of living color
Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor, strength and
Glory and power be
To You the Only Wise King,  

Filled with wonder,
Awestruck wonder
At the mention of Your Name
Jesus, Your Name is Power
Breath, and Living Water
Such a marvelous mystery

Come up lift up His Name
To the King of Kings…
We will adore YOU Lord…
King of heaven and earth
King Jesus, King Jesus
Aleluya, aleluya, aleluya!
Majesty, awestruck Honor
And Power and Strength and Dominion
To You Lord,
To the King, to King
To the King of Glory
