Give Me Your Eyes

Like I have already said, many things have been going on in my life, life changing things.
I'm realizing what I am being called to do, what God wants for my life, being more intimate with him; being in relationship.


I had my life planned out, the next three years were all a go, until I came here. Everything Changed.
I'm sure I could continue with those plans, but it wouldn't be God's Will for me, he has showed me my potential, what I can do in this life, the lives I can change. I will probably only be home for a couple of months before I come back to San Francisco & do a DTS (discipleship training school), this is a six month program, the first three months is lecture phase, we have classes about many different parts of the christian body, the bible, living out the truth & much more. The remaining three months is outreach, we will stay in San Francisco for one month ministering to the people here, on the streets, the other two months will happen in Italy & Turkey. I was the girl in the beginning of my time here that said "I will never do a DTS, I have my whole life planned out." Wow, God totally rocked me, he knows what is best for his children, for me. I told one of the girls that I am close to, last week, that I feel like God is calling me to more then I really know, then I ever thought. I feel like maybe God is calling me to be in California, to help the people here. I always told my mom "I am going to be the one child that you have that will always stay in Winkler, will settle down, do the whole white picket fence & live happily ever after." Nope, I may now be the child that is the furthest away in distance, doing the craziest stuff, who ever would have though, definitely not me...


I am very sure that I will be doing my DTS here in San Francisco, I will continue to pray about what will happen after that, but for now I am going to trust in the Lord, let him know what I am going to do, and for me to rely on him. I have been learning how to trust God with my life, giving things up for him, loving him unconditionally. I have grown up so much here, I am so blessed to have the people around me that I do, each one has blessed me in one way or another. Up until this past week, I was counting down the days till I was home in Winkler, but now, I wish I had more time here, to help these people, I wish I could stay here for so much longer, now I don't want to leave... God is Great.


I want to see what God sees in the people on the streets, they are like a dollar bill.
A dollar bill is valued the same if it is clean, not wrinkled up & dirty, then if it was spit on and had rips.
Maybe the people on the streets have some rips, been wrecked, but in God's eyes they are that clean crisp dollar bill, everyone is valued the same in God's eyes, I want to see like God sees, I think we all need to see with God's eyes...


Jeremiah 18 has really struck me this past month, no matter what, God is in control of what I am, we find our identity in him, not our possessions. I can't be a cup if God is moulding me to be a plate, we have to walk with him, we have to allow him to work through us, we don't want to be something we weren't meant to be, I am sure everyone can relate to this in some way or another. So, are you letting God mould you into the person he has called you to be?
