![]() He gave His own Son to be a sacrifice of love for you. I wish you could see how much you are worth.īy a King who is always there, who carries you when you can't stand on your own. I feel your pain because, all scars even though they heal, they also are reminders of the past.Īnd I so wish you could see how He loves you. Someone that would forgive everything you've done wrong?īecause I have been there, I know where you are. I know it sounded silly and maybe stupid when we told you. ![]() I do know that as much as you want the past cannot be erased. I also know that as much as you want for that self inflicted pain to take away the pain you cannot control the pain inside. I do know that throwing your self at a guy to get his attention is. I do know that guys may pay attention to you in that mini skirt, or low cut dress but they'll never respect you. I don't know if you think you have gone 'too far' in life and cannot stop. I don't know if you have hear every line in the book from men. I don't if you are in primary or secondary school. I don't know what home is like for you, if it is good or bad, safe or a place of fear. I know we never met, and I know my 'crew' and I were only there for 3.5 weeks, but I heard about you and my heart was broken. It makes me think of the women who are sold into slavery, freedom is something they can only dream of. I have been bought with a price, one of great measure. He is all I want, more than tomorrow or yesterday. My re-learned lesson is my need for Christ. I think as we mature as Christians we re-learn lessons, the become more relevant and powerful to us. Then Satan hit and tried to tell me nothing had changed, but everything had. I had this mountain top experience as I had so many times before, but this was different. ![]() When I got back this summer, I truly felt abandoned by God, like He had left me out to dry. Without Christ I am this person I do not want to be, I am controlling, manipulative, and just negative. ![]() Which then humbles me to think that in my desolate pit of sin, He is by my side. It makes me think of the song, Orphans Of God. I have recently also began to develop such a burden for AIDS orphans. For the first time in a while I can say that I am truly terrified about going.Īs contrary as this may sound, I am quite terrified but have never had so much peace about a decision in my life. It is a trip that is going to be very challenging for me because it is one of the few things out of my comfort zone. Recently, I have discovered a call to go to Africa. If you are afraid of this 'calling' whatever it may be remember that God doesn't call the equipped. Where God just wants to let go and say, 'Here I am Lord, may I be used for Your Glory.'? Or prayers like 'If You want me to go Father provide the way.' and the VERY NEXT day getting a check for 400$! Even answering joking prayers like 'I'll move to Africa if you provide a Cannon DSLR camera.' Guess what? He provided a Cannon DSLR camera and I am moving to Africa.Īre there any areas in your life where God is wanting you to cry out 'Hineni, Father!'? Well He has done just that! Through simple things like sending me a song(and the band that sings that song) "I'll Follow You" by Leeland. God has defied my human logic and comprehension and said 'Chelsea! I want you to go to Uganda!' Now finally I am saying 'Hineni Father!!' Here I am!įor the past 6 months I have been praying for God to show me that really going to Africa was what HE wanted and not what I wanted. Now, while I am not claiming to be a prophet, I do have a call story. God asks, “Whom shall we send? Who will go for us?” Isaiah calls out, “Here I am! Send me!” He said, “Hineni.” And there it begins. Isaiah, another famous prophet, has a vision of God in heaven on God’s throne, in the midst of God’s glory, the smoke and thunder and power.
