  “She girds herself with strength, and makes her arms strong. She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night”.-Proverbs 31:17-18                   WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW? Her husband would yell in his drunken fits, as his fists hammered a beating on her petite framed body. WHERE IS YOUR JESUS? This is just one of many stories that I have heard like this from her. And her name is Strength. She is a born again Believer, and she is one of the shop owners on...

This week was hard. I spent two days completely passed out with one of the worst migraines I’ve ever had. I threw up more times than I can count and could not kick the migraine i had. Coupled with an exhausting couple of weeks, I was having trouble keeping a kingdom perspective. And you know what, obedience to God’s plan is really hard sometimes.

Knowing God in an intimate way. A personal way. A way that has never been treaded through. A way that has never been explored. Cherishing moments with Him. Yearning to be with Him. To hold me close. Hearing Him call out my name. Call out for something more. Hungering for His presence. Hungering for more of Him. Longing for His power. His voice. His love… This weekend is debrief weekend, which has been filled with a lot of relaxation, fun, laughter, reflection, and prayer. We have been blessed with two wonderful AIM women that have come to our little slice of heaven in India to ask...
