Process

“The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”
~ Matthew 13:31-32

I don’t really have any deep or rhythmic words to add to this. I just can’t get this portion of Jeremiah 17:16 out of my mind and heart.

We are called to lead and shepherd on so many levels. We are given people and provision to steward, bringing influence into various spaces.

But how can I lead well if I don’t follow well? I don’t want whatever leadership God trusts me with to override my follow-ship.

Lord, in my marriage, my motherhood, my ministry, my writing, my hospitality…in all things…don’t let me ever hurry away from following you.

I had a hiking partner today! My sweet and very h I had a hiking partner today!  My sweet and very handsome @o_d_beard came with me today. I was concerned because he strapped on 55lbs and wanted to jump right into the 4 miles I do…well of course he crushed it and then some. #ofcoursehedid  I am very proud of him. #myviking #heisamazing #ifyouwalkedoutofthegraveimwalkintoo #imfollowingJesus #aintnogravegonnaholdmybodydown
Well I have waited a long time to say this…over Well I have waited a long time to say this…over 20 years…I have been given the opportunity to be a WILDERNESS INSTRUCTOR with @mountaingateway !  I honestly never saw this level of redemption coming! I never could have imagined God would remember and go back to a desire He planted deep in my heart at 19 years old and give me the chance again at 43 years old. 

I have spent the past couple of weeks physically, mentally, and spiritually preparing for 16 days backpacking in the Grand Canyon, to start my training to become an wilderness instructor.  This week, I hit a goal…4 miles with 58lbs in my pack.  Today was a struggle but I finished, and I am good with that because I gave it my best and sometimes your best just doesn’t look the best.  I am still in awe over all He has done, it is quite surreal. #andtheadventurecontinues #storyofredemption #completelysurrendered

My son…my beautiful son…you are amazing!  I am so thankful for you.  You heart is unlike any other and there is nothing normal about you…but as you well know normal has never served God well.  Happy Birthday sweet young man!  I love you!  I can’t believe you are 12!!
It has been so amazing to watch this play out and It has been so amazing to watch this play out and we are only a little over a month in.  We were supposed to be part of this cohort…or so we thought. God gave us a back stage pass today the heart of Mountain Gateway.  I cannot tell you what a blessing and honor it has been to see the hearts behind this transformative mission.  Don’t waste anymore time trying to make sense of what you feel the Lord calling you to, take the leap.  The harvest is plenty but the laborers are few.

On January 5th, 10 students arrived at our Texas Campus to start the 2022 class of the Mountain Gateway Academy. They are dedicating 11 months to gain the practical and spiritual tools needed to introduce people to Jesus in any context or culture. Here is what one of our students Rebecca said about how the Academy has changed her life so far:

“This whole semester has been so memorable to me. I’m being more spiritually challenged here than I ever have been.  I don’t know how to explain it exactly but all the moments that were created for God to show up and move during Orientation really opened doors for God to touch me and He did. I was unsure if I’d reach my goals but now I am.”

“And God said, “Let there be lights in the vau “And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:14-15‬ ‭

The Bible says that when God created the heavens, they were made by the word of God.  He literally breathed out the universe and everything in it.  When God said he wanted light…He just spoke it into existence!  I love that He has given us the intelligence, wisdom and ability to discover the rate which His words traveled.  Measured light moving from a stationary source is the same as light measured from a moving source.  The speed of Light is always the same…never changes…186,000 miles per second. He is the Light, always the same today and forever…He spoke it into existence for us, streaking it across the expanse of darkness at 186,292 miles per second. @alicebrown.co @_straightenmycrown_  #mindblown #astrophotography #canon #canonlens
Despite her sinuses giving her a run for her money Despite her sinuses giving her a run for her money, this girl is having a great time here!
So the Father put a spin on our story. We knew ou So the Father put a spin on our story.  We knew our whole journey was one of relationship.  That every meeting was one that was purposeful and one to be invested in. We knew nothing was by mistake but all intentional…”missional” if you will. 

We also knew in our hearts, that our connection with Mountain Gateway had purpose but we had no idea what the Lord had in mind nor what to expect.  We came to Huntsville this time completely surrendered and at peace knowing He is sovereign and would orchestrate our steps if we stay out of the way. 

We are still making our way to join @mountaingateway although the objective has shifted.  We will arrive in Dripping Springs, TX on the 27th to join their staff.  We are super excited for all that the Father has for us do and the relationships that are to come.  This will no doubt have its challenges but we know that those challenges will be followed with great blessings!
We love you all and thank you so much for all your support, prayers, love and believing in us. @leisaleighnelson  @scott.silcox @leahfrench87 @aimee_lamar_  #extrordinarylife #adventurelife @o_d_beard

My new journal…LOVE…a daily reminder that with My new journal…LOVE…a daily reminder that without Love…“If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13:1-13‬
