8 years ago God put a desire in my heart to be a missionary overseas. There where times when doors where shut and when doors were open. There were times when scars were so deep and wounds that hurt, but the Lord gave me His strength to keep going. First, was keeping my focus on Jesus and never looking back. Never fearing what man would say because nothing was to please man but God.
After a year of sitting at God's feet at Impact 195 I learned what God's love looks like and what restoration feels like. Those wounds were stitched back up with God's Love.
The Lord gave me a vision after I came back from India dancing on the rooftops with my teammate (Caitlin) to the song Rooftops from Jesus Culture (hahaha... and as I write this the song comes on my playlist). The song represents why I am going to India because of His perfect grace and because by Him I freely live. So I shout from the rooftops (of India) I AM YOURS!
Never in my life have I ever wanted to be more with God. To please him with my whole life. All I want is more of Him and nothing else in this world. My whole life is fully devoted to Him and my focus on Him has never been so strong as it is now. When we finally get to this point of complete surrender we experience freedom like no other. I am finally FREE!
As we continue to run the race never let your eyes swayed by the earthly pleasures because you father in heaven has so much more for you then you could imagine. His word is alive and active and He is a father that keeps His promises we just have to hold on to those promises even when things are being shaken up. We are His and our desire should be that He is ours. As He desires for us to be fully His.
Here I am before You, falling in love and seeking Your truthKnowing that Your perfect grace has brought me to this placeBecause of You I freely live, my life to You, oh God, I giveSo I stand before You, GodI lift my voice cause You set me free
So I shout out Your name, from the rooftops I proclaimThat I am Yours, I am Yours
All the good You've done for me, I lift up my hands for all to seeYou're the only one who brings me to my knees
To share this love across the earth, the beauty of Your holy worthSo I kneel before You, GodI lift my hands cause You set me freeSo I shout out Your name, from the rooftops I proclaimThat I am Yours, I am YoursAll that I am, I place into Your loving handsAnd I am Yours, I am Yours
Here I am, I stand, with arms wide openTo the One, the Son, the Everlasting God
