I kind of let it fade away and looked back at it as a thing from the past. But I realized today I really miss writing and it's way of expressing things I can't speak.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since this time last year, March 2020, so much has happened. </p><p>Aside from the crazy world events, in my personal life I feel there has been so much change. Physically speaking and in my heart. I know it's all good, for God is sovereign over all. But I've learned that grieving is part of the process, as long as we don't stay there. </p><p>Since this time last year my brother Andrew moved to Nashville, TN. From being used to a 15 minute drive to hang out with him in the evenings, grabbing dinner or listening to him jam on the guitar, to now living across the country, never visiting his current home and hardly talking because we all have busy lives and the days tend to fly by too fast.</p><p>Since this time last year the Canadian border closed and I haven't been able to visit my sister at her house, nor has she been able to come see our home since we got married. It used to be an easy 30 minutes to drive up to Abbotsford and now, we rely on facetime calls and occasionally meet at the border for an afternoon. There was an abrupt end to birthday parties and going to the park and coffee dates.</p><p>Since this time last year, my parents and all my younger siblings moved back to Missouri. When they were still in WA, my husband and I would spend at least one night a week there. My mom would text and say dinner was in an hour, or we'd go over for sunday afternoon. One time we even biked the 8 miles to my parents home in Lynden from Ferndale, just because we could, and why not? Now it's a request-time-off-work and buy a plane ticket ordeal to visit home.</p><p>Since this time last year I put aside my Culinary School education for the foreseeable future. When money gets tight and other things got moved to life's top priorities, I decided that it was easier said than done to keep going.</p><p>Since this time last year our best friends, and married couple who started their married journey at the same time as us, they moved to Austin, TX. After losing my family along with weird covid stuff, they were the family we dwelt with. Once a week at the very least we would find ourselves at each other's houses; eating, laughing, talking, playing games, encouraging and sharpening each other, and just doing life together. </p><p>And it's okay to grieve. </p><p>I often would write something like that all above, but end every sentence with "but it is okay'. And it is, but I don't have to apologize for being real. And showing others that it actually hurts, is sad, and lonely.</p><p>But I won't stay there. I see the goodness of God in all of these little things, as significant or trivial as they may be. </p><p>I see God's hand in moving Andrew somewhere different, putting connections in his professional and music path. I don't know the outcome, but I know God is good. He has His hand in everything. I know He is growing us and shaping us in every little thing. And maybe not being able to go to my sister's house and play with her babies and laugh with my brother-in-law, maybe it's pushing us to search for the good. Like being more vulnerable on the phone, or over text, or reaching out more. I miss my mama, my dad, my brothers and sisters, but I know there's a reason. They needed to be home. They needed community, friends, rest. Taylor and I, we know we won't be in Washington long. I can't tell you where we feel led or where that'll be, or even what it'll look like. But not having my parents here is probably just another tie to Washington that was released. And the Hamiltons? Well we are still in the midst of grieving their everyday presence in Bellingham. But we also know without a shadow of a doubt that God was leading them to Texas. For the work, yes. But for His glory all the more. He's got BIG plans for them and their heart for ministry and investing in people.</p><p>Goodbyes are really hard. Really. But looking back on our lives, we've had a lot of goodbyes, between the both of us. And I don't look at it from a negative perspective any more, but really as how God has been preparing us. To not hold so tightly to people, places and things. But to live a life of cherishing every moment and living life to the fullest TODAY, and letting God hold tomorrow.</p><p>Like I mentioned before, we feel God calling us to simply be ready. Ready to GO at the drop of a hat. Taylor and I, we are dreamers. Let me tell you. We have the perfect pinterest boards of the perfect southern home with a huge garden and acres of land to have animals and free spaces that our future children can roam free on. We dream of a happy and simple American dreamy life. </p><p>And last week God wrecked those dreams. Not that we don't like that stuff any more. But it's somehow, crazy, not our top priority any more. We see the quickness, and fragility of life. It's short. </p><p>"Only one life, twill soon be past. Only what's done for Christ will last."</p><p>So many people don't even know the name of Jesus. And THAT'S where we want to be. Right in the midst of the heartache, so we can give the sweet sweet hope of Jesus. </p><p>And so here we are. Not knowing what's next, but knowing the Author of it.</p><p>Would you pray for us?</p><p><br /></p>emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04973390156473286669noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856895102485232598.post-76827472242933840212021-03-20T15:49:00.000-07:002021-03-20T15:49:22.765-07:00Wilderness Survival<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Montana Wilderness School of the Bible doesn't take it's name lightly.<br />
We are located way out in the Bob Marshal Wilderness.<br />
Our third week of "class" was spend outdoors, everything to live off of for 6 days packed on our backs, and in the wild.<br />
<br />
Here is my journal of what everyday for my crew looked like... (for your own enjoyment, in your nice, warm and dry homes)<br />

The night before leaving: utter chaos<br />

9.4.16 - 9pm</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We left this morning at 8:45 from campus. Thankfully not as early at the Holland Lake group, that Elijah went on. They left at 4:30 this morning to drive to the trailhead.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today was about an 8ish miles to our campsite for the night. We took it fairly slow with breaks every so often. We planned to set up camp around 2:30/3pm, but took a few wrong turns and trails. Good start to our adventure filled trip. We got here to camp around 4pm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We set up tents, got firewood, a fire going, and hung the food bags in the trees. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has been sprinkling on and off all day, and now is a steady rain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's hard to keep things organized and dry. Also this being only the first day is hard to think about. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But God is with us and will give us strength to pursue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were supposed to meet up with another hiking group for the night, but never found them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We ate a warm dinner and did dishes (thankfully we're camped right next to the Dearborn river)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We made hot cocoa and talked at the fire. Now everyone is in their tents.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has been a fun time already, and I'm sure it'll only get better.</div>

The moments, days, weeks, months, life screams by me and I stand with a loss of words to write down. I'm always searching for ways to express my soul, grasping at quotes and lyrics and scriptures that glimpse of ways He whispers daily to me. It often blurs together and I look back and... it's already March? When did that happen?<br />
<br />
Life as an adult is an interesting thing. It's full of surprises, but somehow I don't mind at all.<br />
I love the gifts that years give back to you. It's definitely a give and take.<br />
<br />
Time and years, they mature, heal, slow.<br />
<i>Even through the flying by.</i><br />
<br />
I don't even know what I am trying to say here. But what I am trying to say is God is good, and I know that from first hand experience. Even if the years aren't turning into what we always thought or imagined they would look like, when I rest in giving my lives and future to God, whatever comes my way is a beautiful thing.<br />
<br />
It doesn't always look beautiful in the moment - oh, ask me how I know this.<br />
I've had my fair share of crappy days, headaches, and anger, and wanting to just let go because life really does stink sometimes.<br />
But looking back... He's weaving a beautiful fabric of stories. Of stories that are alive, with feeling.<br />
Flushes of love and excitement, and hearts that burn with anger and very real questions of why did this happen. Little joys, laughter, darkness and doubt, they're woven in too. True followers of Jesus don't hide their scars, they bring them to the light. Because by His stripes we are healed. His wounds, his bruises, the very real weight He carried on His shoulders as He hung on the cross.<br />
The cross is the climax of the gospel, not something we should hide and shove under the rug.<br />
The crosses in our lives are testimonies, are living breathes of moments that we can speak and share without shame and say, "See this? This is what God did through brokeness."<br />
<br />
Years bring beauty.<br />
Good, bad, joy, pain.<br />
All combined, can I just say, it's a wonderful life.<br />
<br />

What does this mean... I don't know. But I think Jesus is teaching it to my heart a little at a time.<br />
<br />
I looked up the definition of "steady". The meanings surprised me, at how clearly it is described.<br />

It's not a steady life or appearance or steady job or steady in the physical, natural sense.<br />
What He's getting at in me is a steady <i>heart</i>.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #001320; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 20px;">Keeping my gaze firmly fixed on Jesus, unwavering, it is <i>then </i>it shall be steady.</span></span></div>

Tying back to my previous blog post, I cannot do it myself. I cannot muster up the courage to be all those definitions of what steady is. I am the opposite inside. I am afraid, I am blown to and fro with the waves, I am insecure, doubtful, weak, full of fear. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #001320; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 20px;">If someone were to look into my heart and life right now, and describe it to you, not in a million words would they use the word steady.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #001320; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 20px;">Ask my family, my close friends... I am a wreck, tossed by each whim. I say things I shouldn't, think things I shouldn't, find joy in wrongdoing, entertain fear of the future. I don't have a very balanced life, certainly not consistent.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #001320; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 20px;">I'm not the steady person. And on my own, I never can be.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #001320; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 20px;"><i>Only Jesus can steady my heart upon Him. </i></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #001320; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #fdfeff;"><span style="font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 20px;">But they do not satisfy. They are only loud, and restless and fearful. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Only Jesus. Only Jesus can steady my heart.</i><br />
<i>Because He will satisfy me.</i></div>

<span style="color: #001320; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #001320; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 20px;">As what goes? Life. Life keeps going. I can rest and stop and wish life would stop and slow down (<i>how many times in my day do I just want life to slow down, let me grasp it).</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #001320; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 20px;">But resting in God and trusting and a steady heart... all that doesn't mean life will slow.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #001320; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 20px;">No, life goes on. Life a river rushing, always running, never stopping. When I try to swim against the current it only wears me down, returns me to the place of rest<i>lessness. </i>I am no longer steady, at rest in my heart. I am striving on my own. I reach and try to hold onto the water as it rushes by me, around me, through me. I try to capture the droplets, but in vain.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #001320; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 20px;">Life goes on.</span></span><br />

Change, and so little time, and finding purpose and.... how fast I beginning to worry about life.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #001320; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 20px;">I'm the one called to a steady heart. Not to try to steady life. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #001320; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 20px;">He'll lead, I'll follow.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So much in life has been changing. The past year has been full of change.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From one thing to the next.<br />
Some change is harder than other, while some is gladly welcomed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes change means growing, though the goodbyes involved can be hard.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Learning to accept. Therein lies the peace.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"In acceptance lieth peace."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a pretty slow learner of this. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But grateful for a Father who is full of grace.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But accepting what? Change? Yes, but not just the physical.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Accepting the emotions, the waves, myself, my way of thinking...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Through this season, though it can be hard, I've been learning that God is all about grace. He's all about love. He's all about just taking pleasure in us. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's not out to get us, to beat us into perfection, to thump us with the Bible.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's there with open, <i> loving</i> arms, to pick us up and dust us off when we make mistakes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To hold us when we weep, when we laugh, when we walk through life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's there <i>for</i> me, not <i>against</i> me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But here's the catch, the newbie for me:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's <i>always</i> for me. Always, as in, not <i>just</i> when I do right, when I do good, when I'm seeking Him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This life's a journey, and He's there in the ups <i>and</i> downs, mountains and valleys.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My light-bulb moments <i>and </i>my dark moments.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those moments of doubt? Yes, He's there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And He's not judging me, He's actually holding me, keeping me, loving me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sunday it was said this way, and it was as if I were the only one in the room at this moment,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"It's okay to not be okay. But its not okay to stay that way."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bing! It's okay! But don't stay there forever.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He cries when I cry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How profound.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A heart of wandering isn't wrong. Questions about life, about truth, about God Himself aren't wrong.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because He created us to ask, seek. <i>He lets us find Him and rest.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's holding me, and there's nothing I can do to change that</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can a baby hold itself? Neither can I. No matter what I do, I cannot keep myself in Him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But He is. He's doing all the work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And all I have to really do is rest.<br />
<br />
And one more thing, He's not out to make all Christians the same!<br />
He's not wanting us to all fit into a box, to all do the same thing, act the same way,<br />
talk the same way, dress the same way, believe the same way....<br />
He created each individual so very different from the rest, on purpose.<br />
Look around, the Creator loves creativity. It's so obvious.<br />
Let's learn to embrace it, embrace ourselves, embrace the diversity in others.<br />
Let's not conform to each other, but each individual conform Himself to Jesus.<br />
<br />
There's no formula.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I hope you can articulate a little bit of my scattered thoughts here.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">And that you can take away some encouragement.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">It helps to have a place to just dump thoughts out, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">and maybe sort them out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Everyone has such a beautiful mind and soul and heart. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I pray that we each learn to love one another for who each individual is, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">and all our unique differences.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Like the dawn of a brand new day</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Let it wash away the winter of thy cold and darkened heart</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let the sun melt the sorrow of yesterday</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Give thyself anew to thy Creator</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Stop going over what has already been done</div>

Learn thy lesson, child</div>

and move on</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Open up thy heart, </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
What a year, 2014! What a year.<br />
I feel I stepped out of a whirlwind, and whoosh! The year is gone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But when I look back on it, I can see the Lord's guiding hand through it all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>It was a good year.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I learned His faithfulness; that when we don't see how a situation can work for good,<br />
<i>He always comes through.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I learned to trust Him a little bit more; </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>when the way is dark, He carries His own. We have no need for fear!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is good to go back and see all the Lord has done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It reminds me of His goodness.<br />
Here are some of the highlights from my year.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<i>God's unfailing love for us is an objective fact affirmed over and over in the scriptures.</i><br />
<i>It is true whether we believe it or not.</i><br />
<i>Our doubts do not destroy God's love, nor does our faith create it.</i><br />
<i>It originates in the very nature of God, who is love,</i><br />
<i>and it flows to us through our union with His Beloved Son.</i><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through Him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.</span></div>

<br />
<br />
On June 28 I will be getting on a plane headed to Honduras.<div>
I will fly back into the States July 26. Almost a full month later.</div>
<div>
My mind is spinning, as the departure date quickly approaches!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will be going with a close friend of mine, and we will be doing assistant teaching (grades through 2nd) at <a href="http://www.crstone.org/" target="_blank">The Cornerstone Foundation</a>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We appreciate your prayers as we embark on this adventure.</div>
<div>
We do not fully know all of the details ahead of us yet, but trust God to lead us by His Spirit.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will do my best to update here, as I find time.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's is a map of Honduras, to give you an idea of where we will be:</div>
<div>
We will be located in Belfate - On the northern coast</div>
<div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what if in the middle of your spring, an icy blast tries to throw you from your height.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
catch you in your weakness, accuse you in your failures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what if, just when you thought you had learned to walk above the waves with Jesus,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
something below caught your eye. you start to sink.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we all come to this place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and i'm learning, it's a normal thing for believers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's called a test.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
if every thing was sunshine and laughter day after day,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
how would all the kinks be worked out?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so, don't give up. don't give in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the sun is always shining. there just may be a cloud in front.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
don't turn <i><b>from</b></i> Jesus.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
turn <b><i>to</i></b> Him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
grab yourself a warm cup of peach tea,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
your Bible,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and spend some time with Him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
believe me, it'll help a lot.</div>
