This is an excerpt from my Amplified Bible featuring notes and commentary by Joyce Meyer. I don't like the Amplified version, so I don't typically pull it out very often, but tonight, I am glad I did.
"Paul said that he kept the news of his calling to himself; he did not check it out with "the big guys" who were supposed to hear from God (see Galations 1:15-19). He knew what God did with him on that road to Damascus. He knew that he was changed forever (see Acts 9:3-8). He knew that the Son of God was unveiled and disclosed on the inside of ihm. He knew he could never go back to the life he had lived. He knew that for the rest of his life he would preach the Gospel and remain faithful to what he heard Jesus say to him.
But Paul also had the wisdom to know people would find his calling unbelievable. So he waited on God. He did not go running around checking witht he other apostles, saying, "Hey guys, I saw a light on the road and fell down, and this happened and that happened. What do you all think?" Instead, he went to Arabia, and then came back to Damascus. Three years after that, he traveled to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Peter, but did not see any of the other apostles except James.
Paul kept God's Word in his heart and let it grow and manifest on its own. Then he started doing what he was called to do. Soon others recognized that the calling on him must have been from God. What was the result? Galations 1:24 tells us that the people glorified God as the "Author and Source" of what had taken place in Paul.
Has God given you a calling to serve Him? As you stay in His Word and wait on Him, you will see growth in your life and receptivity to the message God gives you."
What a great lesson for me to be reminded of this evening. I'm a definite people-pleaser, and I am consistently looking to others to see what they think of what choices I am making. When in truth, I only need to wait upon the Lord. I need to not get too ahead of myself. Paul waited with the Lord for 3 years going through the training of his mind and transformation of his heart before God gave him permission to carry on with His duties. Whoa! 3 years?! It's only been one year since I was called to missions, but the truth is, that God is in control of where I go. He wants me to get there way more than even I want to get there.
Good stuff....

Crazy Wedding Dream
Last night I had a really crazy dream. In my dream, I was standing with this guy that I used to have a huge thing for back in the day. He was standing beside me as my groom. But, he was so unhappy. I felt very confused because I knew it wasn't time to get married. Nothing was organized. I was in a beautiful dress, but no one stood up beside me, and there was no one there to officiate the marriage, either. My dad didn't walk me up the aisle. Very few people were even smiling. But, I loved him. I told him that several times, and he would just look at me like he felt bad for me. It was a horrid feeling. He told me that he couldn't tell me that he loved me, he could only show me. But still no happiness was revealed on his face. He didn't even want to hold my hand.
Now I know that this guy doesn't 'like' me now, even if he did back in the day. So, the actual person in the dream doesn't really cause me to think anything out of the ordinary. But, the Lord has spoken to me through dreams many times. As soon as I woke up, I felt something in my Spirit. I didn't want to hear it. But, at the same time, I knew better than to try and stop listening.
It felt like the Lord was saying to me that when I try to rush things and do it my way, everything feels so wrong. So 'wrong timing' feeling. I remember during the 'wedding' in my dream, there was a part where I was taken aside and family members were pushing me to marry him because he was good for me. "If he doesn't love you now, he will later," is what they said. I even woke myself up talking aloud in my sleep trying to tell him that through everything, I would be there for him. Friends, it was soooo real. I very rarely remember my dreams. Actually, typically when I do remember them, they are from the Lord. (Even as I type this up, there is still this crazy nudging feeling inside my gut.) As I listened to what the Lord wanted me to hear, I felt Him saying that He understands where I'm at in the whole relationship/wanting to date thing. And that if I wait, He has something incredible in store for me. But, if I choose not to wait, I will end up with somebody that can't love me like God wants my mate to love me. The choice is mine, and God will bless either one, but He has something better for me.
I want to be able to just relax and be content in waiting, but this urgent feeling is one I just can't shake. And maybe, just maybe, this urgency isn't in my heart and soul for a man. Maybe it's for something else God has brewing. Sometimes, I wish I could get a small glimpse of what the heavenly realm is holding, but I know I could never understand it. The more I read my Bible, the more questions I come up with.
God, You are an amazing God. Although I don't always understand Your ways, I want to walk with You. I want Your journey for me to unfold before me in Your timing. Lord, I need Your help to keep me in check while I wait. I need guidance. I need training. I need love. And, I need wisdom and understanding. Help me be a blessing to others, Lord. Open doors for me to do Your work. To do Your will throughout this town. Help me share Your life-breathing news to the homeless, broken, down and out. Use me, God. Use me, please. Show me purpose. Give me patience. Break me. I need to feel Your love, Lord.
I love you, God. Amen.

Pray for the nations.
Lord Jesus.
Thank you so much for who You are. Thank You for being gracious, merciful, and the lover of my brokenness. Thank you for all of the opportunities You have so delicately planned out before me. Thank you for loving me, Lord.
A long time ago, I gave you my life. And, I told you that I would do anything, go anywhere, be anyone for you. My whole life, Lord, is so yours. And, I'm completely content knowing that I gave it to the One who is in complete control of everything.
In this beautiful life You have given me, the one you chose specifically for me, the life that you put together so intricately, in the life that you designed... you gave me an authentic passion for the hurting. When I see the very ones that you created to live life to the fullest broken, bruised, battered, and forgotten, my heart literally cracks.
God, Your people are in pain, and I am crying out to you to send help to them. God, call up this generation of children. Give them hearts full of even more passion for Your treasures living on this earth. Your people. I pray that when people see photos of the hurting, homeless, and starved that they would fall to their knees in anguish, but rise again knowing they are to bring hope. It is our responsibility, and I pray that You pour out conviction on those that read these words. Draw people into serving the least of these, Lord. Shut every door and leave no room for the enemy to cause confusion.
I bring the missionaries before you. They have laid down their life to reach these people. They have sacrificed many things to bring hope to them. God, bless them. Protect them. Strengthen them. Cause their hearts to be full of hope and excitement. As they worship You in song, and in the Word, and in their daily life, shine down upon them. Give them what they ask for. Send along others to help them fulfill their needs. Give them dreams, visions, and desire for what is to come. Pour Your spirit down upon them, and let no evil thing come against them.
Thank You Lord for being a God of love, and one of faithfulness. I am nothing, absolutely nothing without You.
Amen

Sometimes My Heart Aches
It's been a while since updating my blog. (And, at 11:30pm, it's probably not a very good time to try to do so...)
It feels like the more I try not to think about the fact that I'm single, the more anxious and impatient I become. I know I'm only twenty. I know that most people like to remind me of that quite frequently, even though I really dislike it. I know that I have time, and I'm not doubting that for a second. It's just that it all feels so very hopeless. Could he really be out there? Is there really a man that wants the same thing in life that I do? Could there ever be someone so specific?
A lot of people say to make lists, to pray for specifics, to make vows, to do this, to do that... but it's not really that necessary. A list isn't going to bring you the man of your dreams, and praying about it doesn't make a whole lot of sense because God knows what is better for us than we do. The more I pray about it..the more I just think and dwell on it. It may be better for me not to pray about it. ;-)
The things I long for and feel ready for... coming home to make dinner, chat about the day, read a good book together, pray together, volunteer together, connect with others. . . Share in the same dreams and visions for the future the Lord is planning for us. I know it's totally not necessary to be married and do huge things for the Lord. And, I'm all down with that. But at this point in my heart and life, I ache for it. I'm not unhappy alone, or mad, or sad... just ready. At least that's what my heart says.
Another ridiculous point is that I have virtually NO time to put into a relationship. Maybe that's why God hasn't sent him yet. He knows I'm busy... yeah, I'll keep telling myself that. Lol. I can be impatient, but the truth remains that God's timing is best. (Elizabeth said that is what the sermon was on tonight. Too bad I had to be at clinicals.) He knows what I need way more than I do. God wants me to get where He wants me to go way more than I want to get where He wants me to go. And, I must cling to that.
I have so much more I could/want to say.... but I won't.
Goodnight, loves.
xoxo

Cutting the cord, because I CAN.
When I think about the possibilities... oh my goodness, adulthood is SO exciting! Independence is thrilling! Responsibility is s-c-a-r-y! :) But, I'm so amped that after May, 2009, I will be my own person. I will be making my own money. I will be living independently. No more feeling like I need permission to do things. I am cutting the cord and clinging to the Lord. :-) It is gonna feel soooo good! If I want to up and drive across the United States, I can SO do that. If I want to hop on a plane and fly to CA, I SO CAN. If I want to buy a car, I CAN. If I want to give my money away, I CAN. If I want to say, "No!" I CAN. , I can taste the sweetness now! And it tastes GOOD!
St. John's hospital here isn't hiring very well, which I knew was going to become a very real possibility. So, I must be open to new opportunities. At first, getting used to leaving Mountain View was a slight challenge (okay, so there really wasn't a challenge there at all). But, I enjoy Springfield. But, I want a job more. So although the idea of leaving Springfield is a little scary (okay, really scary), I bet I could manage. I'm so NOT good at meeting new people, but I would so make it.
I have no idea what the Lord has in store. One thing for sure, I will follow Him. If He wants me to stay here, I trust He will provide me a job. But if He wants me to leave, I will go boldly, confidently, powerfully in the Spirit, and faithfully!
(And, a cool thing: I will make this decision with God's help. I will not make what others feel is the best decision. <- This is awesome.)
God, You are SO cool!
-Kayla

I don't want anything for Christmas...
God is SO good. I am so grateful to be allowed in His presence. His presence definitely wasn't always this accessible. How blessed we are!
I am so thankful for those that the Lord has placed me around to teach, lead, and guide me. I am thankful for learning different parenting skills, marriage skills, leadership skills, servanthood skills, how to LOVE the Lord no matter what you go through. How to praise Him in the storm. I am SO blessed!
I'm still waiting. Several times I've been tempted to change the name of my blog from, "Kayla's Journey to Haiti" to something less specific. Not a whole lot has changed from simply being called to aid the country and now I feel it could be years before even getting to set foot on the territory. Nevertheless, I am headed there and I will get there sometime. In this season of waiting, I will rest and be refreshed by the Lord. I will learn during this time. I will gain experience in the field of medicine, and I will reach local people. I LOVE people.
I LOVE people a lot. There's one thing that angers me a lot; When people hurt other people purposefully. I genuinely have a heart for those that are hurting. God has blessed me with a strong desire to see people live in the knowledge that they are loved, that they have a blessed future in the Lord, and that they are a child of the KING. That they have potential and that they can be healed. I never want to lose this feeling of wanting so badly to just help the needy. After all, there have definitely been times when I remember my family qualifying in the 'needy' category. So many people rose up and helped us. I remember distinctly one time coming home after church and our kitchen table was full of groceries, and the refrigerator and freezer was full. I remember as a young kid how much I was blessed with food I liked. And, I can't tell you how many times a close friend or family member has filled up my gas tank while I've been struggling in college. There's nothing wrong in needing some help from time to time for extended periods of time. It's just important that when you are back on your feet, you give back like you were blessed/more than you were blessed.
I've decided I pretty much don't want anything for Christmas. If anyone was actually going to spend money on me, I would want to save it and put it back to either A)give it to someone who needs it or B) put it in a missions account to save to go do work to help, still. I can't wait until I have the finances to bless other people with. To be able to do that would bless my heart so much! Yay, I get so excited just thinking about the possibilities! :-D
I MUST get rest. My eyes are BURNING. :)
Night!

Resting
This past week I have been making it priority to find rest in the Lord. I love to worship the Lord. It is a passion of mine that I have had since I was 12 years old. It was at that age (8 years ago), I knew the Lord was training me to be a worshiper. We are all to worship, and give Him praise for what He is doing in our lives. I find comfort in knowing that even when I don't see all the answers in front of me, God is in control. I love knowing that this little world we live in is nothing compared to all that goes on in the Heavenly realm. I love this verse, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." (Eph. 6:12). I love it because it signifies something so much greater than ourselves. So much greater than our everyday work lives, our school life, our church life. It shows me that we live in a sort of matrix world. Where adventure and excitement occurs. Where warriors of God and princesses of the King live. Where the Lord is watching over us all the time, and although tough situations can throw us for a loop, the TRUTH is that He never leaves our side. The TRUTH is that He loves us!
I've switched up a portion of my worship routine at church even. I remember how it felt to lead worship and see some sitting down reading a book, or staring at the church bulletin (yes, we're not oblivious) and I remember feeling as if I had failed at leading the people of God into the heart of worship. I wrapped my mind around routine; Stand up, raise your hands, love the Lord your God. But it became just that, routine. Even as I stand in the crowd. Don't get me wrong, when I stand and raise my hands and sing with all of my might, I most definitely am praising the most high King with ALL my energy, but sometimes I think God invites us into His presence to sit and become refreshed and renewed so that we can impart peace and comfort to others. Agree? Last Wednesday night, during the last worship song, I sat down in my chair, leaned my head back, closed my eyes, and sang to the Lord from my heart of hearts. And what a beautiful picture the Spirit painted in my heart of the Lord. He is so worthy to be praised, Amen? I'm sure I looked odd to those around me.
During my continued time of rest, God has been restoring my heart. Building me to be a Warrior Princess, strong and elegant. Able to fight and able to heal by His power. Filling me with hope for the future. Filling me with a desire to restore broken hearts. Preparing me to heal using prayer and medicine. Pouring out a favor so sweet I can taste it on my lips. Training me, using me, loving me. And all the glory goes to Him.
I will overcome this world because I have the Overcomer living in my heart. I will defeat the darkness because I have the Light to shine radiantly from my face. I will defeat my enemy because I have donned the full armor of God. I will live because He came so that I may have life more abundant. I will fight for what He wants until the end of my day. I will rise up. I will.
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.
12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

19Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel,
20for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
