Lets Go Deeper and Video of Baptism!!

Ok it's time to dig deeper......when or even will we let God do this. Know us inside and out. The secret struggles or the desires you hold on to that you need to let Jesus take. Whether it is to hold and give you new desires or if its to hold and nurture....either way. Our heart beat should be His heart beat, He should be holding those anyway. I choose to explore the possibilities that God's not done with my heart...I guess He never is. I am not talking about healing per say but I do want to know where my heart is at. Where can it go and what can I let Him do to make it better. I am tired of the same state of mind so many of us live in. I will worship on Sundays, be in ministry, work hard, give to others...but have no idea of where my heart truly is. Some may ask, "Why explore things when you feel fine?" I will say this....because God deserves the best....and He desire the best for you. With that I want to give my best so I know how to receive from the best. Best being Christ. How can I receive from Him if there is a area I have walls built around.....maybe I'm even numb to them. Basically, I want to give Him my very best and that means letting him in, in all areas of my heart. I wrote this maybe 2 months ago. I read it last time I spoke to the Youth in KC. We talked about the things we were done with. It was a great night. I miss my kids. =) Be blessed beloved.




The Depths of My Heart

I want to find You in the depths of my heart
I want to find You in the places that I hide
For You know me….For You know my heart…
Trying to hide from You is like hiding from air
You are all around me
and sometimes I feel You Like a rush of wind…
I want to find You in the depths of my heart
Places I’m scared to know about
Places You’re ready to meet me at
And now that I’m ready
That’s where we’ll meet the most often
When I’m tired and longing for more
When I’m broken and I feel I can’t take another step
You’ll find me there, In those places I'm try to hide
When my heart is weak, You’ll find me there
When my heart is lonely, You’ll find me there
When my heart is broken, You’ll find me there
In my most vulnerable state You are there.
Your not a distant God, You are so close
Right now I can feel You
In my heart,You have captivated every cavity
In my mind,You have broken down lies I once believed
You have won me over, heart ,mind, and soul
To turn from You would be running away from
The only One who can sustain me
You knew me I found You
And now I love You
I now find You in the depths of my heart
There is no more hiding
For You know my heart
For You know the depths of my heart.

My Days =)

This week has been wonderful. My heart delights in the place, these people, and this Ministry.Are you ready for my typical day? I start by getting up at 7am. Get ready pray and read.....skype if anybody is on =0. At 9 I go down to Sarah's apartment and we catch up on emails and things then we pray for about a hr sometimes a little longer. Sharing hearts and just being excited about what God is doing. Then we call a driver. We have drivers for many reason one being its dangerous to drive here if you have lived her or practiced. Sometimes we have to wait on a driver. Then we start the rest of our day. SCH (Sarah's Covenant Homes) or hospital or other things needed to get done that day.....I have also really connected with James and Sarah's girls Shayna and Amira. I have yet to see Simona but I know for sure I will love her! There is something about this place that makes my heart leap.
Saturday is Special Olympics it should be sooo much fun for them. I will write about it as soon as I get home from there Saturday....I am going to try again to get my video blog up. I promise dear friend it will be up soon as sooonnn as I figure it out how to get it from youtube to blogspot ;). HUGSSSS

The Start

Wow, is all that I can say, traveling for 24 hrs didn’t bother me. I expected to feel like a child and freak out thinking, “What if I miss my flight? What if I can’t find it? I’m here all alone“. Instead, all those learned instincts fell into place and I felt abnormally at home. Fear didn’t hit me at all. Some may say, “Well, Bekah, your almost 24, but for some of you who didn’t know I feel like I am just now stepping into adulthood in some ways. When I was a teen my parents thought I was materialistic, I really wasn’t that bad, now that I heading into my mid 20’s I am analyzing myself. I care about some things but in the long run I don’t care about “stuff” anymore. Which now when I look out my window in India all these weird emotions rise up in me. I’m not in Kansas is the constant phrase in my head. Guys I LOVE this. Even though my mind is flipping out right now. I want God to twist my heart. I want to feel uncomfortable. I knew I would at first and to be honest that is why I wanted to stay 6 months. I want to serve foremost. I also want to be stretched to the limit. I think in a lot of situations we don’t get the most out the most of what God has for us because we get to complacent. This is not a resort. This is a town where there are no washer and drier clothes are hand washed. This city has buildings so close I am scared to open my eyes when we are driving in the streets, but I see beauty in it and in the people. My beloved friends and family pray for me lol cause culture shock has set in but praying in the spirit while listen to Cory Asbury has helped give me peace. P.S. Tiffany thank you sooo much for the music, seriously. I am also really glad I brought my flannel button ups…I can’t wear them out but I plan on using them as “light jackets” for when I ’m in the apt. As most of you know I have been raising support to be here and I still am I will be tracking how much I spend this month to see how much its going to be about. I will let you guys know how I am financially on here by the 8th of December. Tomorrow I hope to go out and hit some of the local marts and get some Indian attire. I will have a video blog up as soon as I can. Love you all.
