Be Free

BE FREE

Delight in who God has made you.
Renounce the truth you are given.
Open the gifts given form on high.
Now relax and enjoy the gift.
Learn how to use it to it's best.
And then pass it down for others.
Be a blessing,
because you were blessed,
to be a blessing.

Seasons

We switch from season to season every few months in Canada.
In Mexico, we switch seasons every couple of months.
Metaphorically speaking, I am stepping into a new season in my life.
Literally speaking, Mexico is like Alberta in a way.
It has it's warm days and it's cold days,
but what's crazy is that Tijuana has spontaneous cold and hot days.
So I guess you could say that TJ is an exception to literal season change.
If you were to look at it metaphorically though.
Well that's a different story.
People come and go follow their calling by God.
Theres new passions arising
causing potential ministries to lift off the ground.
I am very excited to let you know how it is for me.
I am stepping into a new season in my life.
Where this next step is, I do not fully know quiet yet.
I do know though that God has revealed to me
that I am to pursue the Passion to stop as Human trafficking.
He had shown me ways that I can pursue this dream or will if you rather,
by one; presenting a school in England with a humanity core course.
two; by presenting a couple contacts for my internship in England that work in the UN.
three; by revealing to me that I have a success story in his love and grace from sexual abuse.
 God has made it clear to me that He has a purpose for me
 and that my past is no longer a hindrance
 but a new way of making his name known.
In making His name known in all nations where sex trafficking is an issue,
I will be a living, walking testimony of his love pouring out to all those people.
those who are oppressed by this dark and evil problem in society.
I am stepping out in faith and love.
I am stepping into a new season.

Faith

This week God is teaching me more about Faith.
Our speaker for the lectures in my class is teaching about Inner healing,
and this is what I am receiving;
God is exposing his desire for me to be whole heartedly faithful to him and his plans for me and others he has put in my life.I realize that he has created me in such a way that when I carry out his plan for me,I should not doubt. He is revealing to me to live a life of true faith and to fulfill my calling. God is showing me many aspect in how I am to do the following in his kingdom. God has shown me that he has this tremendous love that most of the world does not even know of. His love is so infinite and constant and he has shared with me that he wants to use me to spread his love in the missionary field. Today during our morning intercession, we were introduced into a family need. One of our members of our family here in Tijuana has a young little boy with the name of Jesus, he has an unknown sickness causing him to have spontaneous seizures lately. The family recently consulted a doctor and found out they need to consult a physician and get treatment done. With finding this out the family was also informed with the cost of following through with this and it is about $200 which the family has no way of paying. This is not surprising but it is still saddening, Tijuana is a highly poor state in Mexico. The majority of the people of Tijuana are not rich nor middle class and when such situations arise they find themselves in a bit of an unfortunate situation. This breaks my heart because of the economy the people can try as hard as they can to reach the amount needed but from my knowledge gained here. A lot of the time they loose their family members to the sickness and they feel like sickness has conquered them again. the enemy uses this to his advantage too. I want to be a difference in this situation and God is calling em to be. I am capturing the love of God and I choose to show his love by supporting this family and donating some of the funds needed to help this young boy. I know that God will reveal his Glory because I do this for him and only him. I could just keep my money I have earned for to be here and use it for my own needs, but God has asked me to different. He is asking me to step out in faith and show His love.

What is God asking you to do today?

The Beauty of Expression

God wants us to walk in truth. If we are walking in lies, if we are saying things to make ourselves sound cool, we are just building a trap for ourselves. Walk in the truth, there is freedom to be yourself in truth. God has also given unique expressions to each cultures and something that missionaries did that was wrong is that they said this is how you worship God. This is after  the people  accepted Christ, each cultures have different ways of worshipping. The missionaries tell them to stand up and sing when you worship and told them to cover their bodies  with clothes like them. They tried to conform them to their culture. They told the people of different cultures that their expression of worship is wrong and the way they dress and present themselves is also wrong. So hearing these twisted lies of God made all of the world loose their unique expression or think our view of God is demonic. We need to share with the rest of the world that their culture is not wrong and that God loves their worship in their own unique expression because he created us uniquely. As Christians we have to realize that in our culture there is fraud. We need to apply God’s culture to our culture and we have to know that God is unique. God doesn’t expect us to just sing. He wants us to express our worship to him in our unique ways. We are his beautiful people and we really need to know that and listen to him say that daily.

Family Partings

It seems that good-bye is a word all too prevalent in the Christian's vocabulary. Missionaries know it well. Those who send them know it, too. The doctor who leaves the city to work in the jungle hospital has said it. Those who feed the hungry, those who teach the lost, all know the word good-bye.

Airports. Luggage. Embraces. Tailgates. "Wave to grandma." Tears. Bus terminals. Ship docks. "Good-bye, Daddy." Tight throats. Ticket counters. Misty eyes. "Write me!"

Question: What kind of God would give you families and then ask you to leave them? What kind of God would give you friends and then ask you to say good-bye?

Answer: A God who knows that we are only pilgrims and that eternity is so close that any "Good-bye" is in reality a "See you tomorrow."

Two Worlds Collide

Open sores, crying for help.
Babes malnourished and left dead.
Bottoms of soles holding onto to nothing but hope.
Where is the love in this world?
Does it come anytime soon?

My My, Oh My
how many times do I gotta say
Our world must collide
to see the face of God
work in this place.

Happiness, is fleeting.
People, ordinary people, racing to get gone.
Each of their hearts cry, oh they cry.
Lips are yelling Why won't you leave?
And when will you go away?

There's nothing but a sad goodbye
but when our world collide

My My, Oh My
how many times do I gotta say
Our world must collide
to see the face of God
work in this place.
My My, Oh My
God is our grace bonding us to be in no race.
Why Why, can't you see
You will open your eyes and know me
when you collide at this time.

A day, oh that day.
It's gonna be a day
we will turn our sin away
knowing that there is more than pain.
Only to look and realize,
Our Fathers Love.

Let's Get Started


Some of you may know that I aspire to be a difference in this world. I know I am an individual, and individuals can become more then they know when they believe. I hope to know one day what that is, but for now I look to not only God but Gandhi and Mother Teresa as historical archetypes. They help put life into a whole new perspective for me.I find that many other perspectives can easily distract my mind and cause me to loose focus in my dream. In all of life's commotion I want to do one thing above all things, bring hope and justice to those stripped of it. Don't get me wrong, I love life and believe it's a beautiful gift but I just want to give my best effort to the kingdom of God. Maybe someday with mine and others efforts, we will know how to live in harmony. I know I have an optimistic mind but that's okay because it helps.

This blog will hopefully help you to journey along side with me on this adventure God has laid out for me. I am so excited for this new chapter and where god will take me in it. I believe he is going to grow and stretch me in so many ways s o I can become more of a humble servant in his kingdom. I can already tell that he has a lot in store for me and is wanting me to grow and I have not left yet. This is a very exciting journey and I hope you will all enjoy it just as much as I do. Thank you for your support!
Lots of love,
Kelly. :)
