We are officially a month into the new year. Already, I feel like 2008 is a year of changes-- changes of the heart. There is a longing in me to know the word, to be in the word, linger on each phrase, each comma, each breath taken. I pray this is something I continue to do, as Father is revealing more and more of himself to me daily. I am learning that to have the eyes of my heart enlightened, I must venture into the heart of Christ. I don't want to live with a faith that is based on fact telling, yet a faith that screams of creation, the fall, redemption, of future, of wonder of hope.

This month I have felt Father drawing me to pray for the future. I've also begun to ask Father HOW. How do I study? How do I respond? How do I encourage? Instead of help me study, help me learn, help me respond, help me encourage.


There are many opportunities arising in Hannover. The soil is so ripe, and the need for workers is a need that is present. I am praying the believers here would rise up and long to see this nation fall more so in love with their creator.


There is so much I could talk about, but honestly, I feel like what I have to tell you, is not much different than what is going on in your towns. We tend to make what is going on overseas much more than it is. Fact of the matter is-- life is the same, opportunities are the same. The soil is ripe where you are as well.

I feel like I have learned so much this month about our Father, about those drawing to his name. I long to know him even more. If you want to know more specifically what i've learned you can message me. There's a lot, and I am falling more in love with Father, daily... and i'm thankful for that..
