Woohoo and UGHH, all at the same time :)

We had such a good time with the women on Central Baptist in Burkburnett this past weekend. Already the emails are coming in of all God has done and is doing. Jordan did an incredible job and I am so excited about what God is doing with her. She is only 19 and already a spiritual giant. We enjoyed worshipping, writing songs and just being silly together.

 

The weekend before that we had the most incredible time at the Woodman State Jail and I still haven’t figured out if the inmates or the volunteers enjoyed it more. There is no doubt God is changing hearts and lives. The Beauty for ashes ceremony has become my favorite thing we do now. So much healing!!! Yeah God!

 

I truly am so blessed (Asher- blessed)  that God has allowed me such incredible opportunities to be a part of such healing and freedom!! I wouldn’t trade my life for anyone’s!  

 

At the same time, there is so much heart ache. For every girl I get to watch be set free, there is another who is being torn into pieces by the enemy. There are so many things that I wish I could do to step in make it all stop. I realize that only God can do it – only He can save – only He can set free. Still, As I sit here today praying for God’s provision for a home for these precious girls, my heart breaks that I can’t take them in. As we have prayed for a home and are STILL believing God will provide, one of the girls I have such a burden for is about to be released with no place to go but back to her old environment.  She has pleaded with me to find a place and all the doors are shutting.

 

I know God loves her even more than I do, I know He is with her. I am just frustrated at the fact  that so many people could help and won’t. We, as the church are so eager to go on a mission trip once a year but refuse to help the people in our own communities.  So many fear helping “criminals” and forget that we are criminals too. We have all broken God’s law at some point and He gave us grace – He saved us. Now, we take that grace and horde it as if there will be a drought. It was meant to extend to others – to meet them where they are. Ughh… I just needed to vent…. Sorry1

 

Anyway, I need to get back to my time with God now – Please pray for provision for these girls.  

Also, in case I don’t get to write again before Friday, I am headed to a retreat in Oregon this weekend. Please be in prayer for the women there and for Tammy and I. I hate flying J
