“He knows that eventually, left to our own resources, we will come to a point of realizing how much more He has to offer.” Forgot to include that this is my favorite line from this blog. Love it!

I love that you blogged so shortly after Kairos was over. Gosh, I love this ministry of Gateway! It is my favorite. Can I say that? I’ve sat in the front row at both Kairoses [spelling?], but this time around, because I was not emotionally wrecked like I was the first time, I noticed something this morning. I turned just a few times during morning worship, when I Am Free was being sung, and got to see smiles and a light-heartedness that was not present the day before. I couldn’t help but smile even bigger at the evidence of work that had already been done…and we weren’t done yet. Freedom is evident in the countenance of an individual. It is light shining in the places darkness once inhabited. My first Kairos took me on a journey that left me raw and questioning everything about what I thought about myself…but in a good, productive way. This Kairos proved to me that what we believe to be our “issues” are never really what they seem…they are just the peripheral byproducts of what lays at the core of each of us. God is so much smarter than we are! Freedom Ministry provides a place for people to meet with God in a safe and incredibly loving atmosphere and then gives tools to get us to a place we couldn’t have figured out on our own. And then you guys step out of the way and let God do His work. I wish everyone I know could somehow make it to a Kairos and see themselves and their circumstances through God eyes. It is LIFE CHANGING!!! I [heart] you…Kairos Ministry Team!

I enjoyed Kairos. Thought you might like to see what God revealed to me:

I woke up Friday morning, July 24th, 2009, early in the morning before the sun had even come up. Tears were streaming down my face. I was laying there thinking about God and how much He loved me. I know we are like pottery that has each been miraculously made, but each of us has cracks and flaws. How can God use that? Aren’t we just a bunch of crackpots? I know that God wants to break us and remake us, but how exactly is that going to look? A bunch of fragments glued back together? Won’t that still be messed up? It was as if God said to me, “I am not finished with you yet.” God wants to break up all those fragments…grind them to fine powder, then pour out His Holy Spirit over it and make it pliable again. I saw in my mind, God putting me (the clay) on the potter’s wheel and spinning me as fast as He could, and stretching me in ways I never dreamed. I could hear God saying, “WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!” When He reformed me, He stamped me with “GM”, for “God Made.” Then He filled me with living water and placed a fragrant bouquet in the creation as a symbol of His love, His glory, His grace, His mercy, and His beauty. God took my brokenness and remade me in His image – a beautiful rebirth and reflection of Him….a vessel that can be used by Him for His glory.
