Healed People, Heal People.

Thank you family and friends for your support of my blog.
Thanks for continuing to read and keep up with my adventures, frustrations, joys and the general goings on... of my life.

As many of you know I have been pursuing a life of relentless.. well, pursuit. Pursuit of my true identity, my heart and my purpose.. what's destiny?.. right?

I'm a dreamer and I always have been. So does that have anything to do with my destiny or purpose in life? or is it a waste of time and heart?

Since I've begun this ridiculous (in a good way) journey in September of 2010 as I drove my car 8hrs away from home to a town I'd never heard of, not knowing where I was going to sleep that night and with only about $150 in my pocket.. I realized I might be "in too deep".

but.. I knew in my heart.. If I'm really after what I say I'm after I need to lose sight of my "shore". I WAS in too deep.. and it was just the place I needed to be to find my land.

After a year and a half of a school I found God. Real God.. Good God, Father God, Friend God, Provider God, Restorer, Redeemer, Just, Creator, The God who KNOWS me. I met Him in a more real way than I ever knew I could.

I'm sure most people have heard the phrase "Hurt people, hurt people" used to help justify why people do malicious things to others for no apparent reason. Heck I've used it to excuse others' painful words or actions toward me. I even found some sort of comfort in it. Til I heard the opposite, "Healed people, heal people" It was said in passing during a teaching by a guest speaker Ray Arnold in class one day. It totally rocked me.

I realized. I am a healed person. I've been healed more than just physically by the Love of this real God I know. I've been healed emotionally, relationally, I was healed deep in my heart and soul. I was made new. I took that phrase as a mandate. I will be a healed person, continually being healed continually seeking truth and love, and I will heal people.

I've begun this here at home in Vacaville, CA. and it's been amazing.. The only power hurt people have to hurt others is their pain.. When it's taken away and restored they have to relearn how to interact with their emotions, and what that means for their relationships. I love walking through this process with people, I've fallen in love with people all over again.

All that being said. One of my biggest dreams has been to travel to and live in Australia. I've had a deep passion and love for the nation and it's people for as long as I can remember. And NOW I have an opportunity to do just that! I get to go for a couple months and partner with a church called Nexus in Brisbane, QLD, Australia. I couldn't be more excited!

I'm in great need of prayer for this adventure as it's my first over seas trip. I'm also in need of financial breakthrough for this new veture! 2,000 by April 15 to purchase my ticket!
