Crazy Radical Love...what an amazing life!

Today I was thinking about how incredibly blessed I am to be where I am in life.  For years I have had a passion to equip others to fulfill their destiny.  When I was in my 20's I had this same passion...but I just didn't really know how it looked.  I was so young and how could I do this?  And as I grew older I just naturally was a certain way with people and tried to champion them to the greatness they were!  What God created them to be and not what the enemy lied to them about.  It wasn't until many years later when I married Jeff that I felt "validated" in this lifestyle!  Ha!  Marrying Jeff was not the validation...God was my validator!  But God allowed this marriage to increase who I was even more. Jeff was the greatest champion of who I was.  He promoted women in ministry and believed in what women are able to be and do within the Kingdom. I constantly felt like I could do whatever I desired to do in regard to dreams of ministry etc.  Wow...such a treasure to have this experience and culture all around me for those amazing years of marriage.

The best part is this past week is I've seen over and over again how innately it is a part of me.  It IS who God created me to be.  In a world that needs definition for identity I have a relaxed spirit that knows that I'm walking completely in who I am as a child of God.

But beyond me...as I walk in that naturally supernatural identity, tons of stuff happens that is just so fun!

When I was at the Open Heaven Cry Conference on Saturday I sat toward the back and watched passionate worshippers of God cry out for God and His presence.  In doing that His glory was brought into the place and people had amazing experiences with the one true God!  I watched a woman who is crazy radical for God and the fear of man is not even close to her heart!  She is walking in such an intimate place with Daddy God and brings people right along with her.  Her mother's heart is so beautiful and she loves through her expression and words on a regular basis.  I had conversations with individuals that truly inspired me.  A young man with a huge anointing allowed Holy Spirit to have total control of the room and honored him so well!  And God encountered my heart through a 22 year old amazing young woman (who is wise beyond her years).  I love it when someone ministers to me and then God allows me to minister right back to them!  That people, is the Church!

Then I was back at our church NLCC for Sunday service and meeting up with friends that I haven't seen for a couple weeks.  I get so excited about a new season of discipleship with some young women that are totally world changers.

In between all of that there have been divine appointments with people in my house and kisses from God when I just live totally in each moment.

My sister was with me for two weeks.  She was not able to come when Jeff passed away and wanted to spend time with me.  The best part is how she was able to get a taste of "my world" here in California.  By no means is it typical.

My Aunt Helen is now in California...she has given me the joy of coming to live with me!  Yep...she moved her life to California just to be with me and Emilia and to participate with us in life!  So thrilled of this season and all that is going to happen in all of our lives (not to mention a community of people that we will be loving on!).  I'm also so honored that with her here I'll be much more flexible to be able to go to the places God speaks to my heart to go and to continue training and equipping the hungry...and then releasing them to go out and do the will of the Father!

Whew...life is full.  Life is good. And life is totally unexpected.  Continue to breath in the goodness of God even in the midst of the crazy circumstances of life.  Continue to know that eternity is for real...it is not just this world, but so massively beyond.  The thing we each have to determine in our hearts is do we want it to be full and rich (the beyond part) or do we choose to be miserable and separated from God (the beyond part)?  It's simply a choice...today is the time we start living either one of those choices.
