To quote Brand New in their song "The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows"
"So keep the blood in your head, and keep your feet on the ground, if today's the day it gets tired, today's the day we drop out, gave up my body and bed, all for an empty hotel, wasting words on lower cases and capitals"
These are the quiet things that no one ever knows.
I started thinking about this. The amount of hurt, the amount of pain, the amount of praises, the amount of criticism, the amount of negativity, the amount of false thoughts, the amount of self doubt, the amount of everything that goes on in everyone's mind that no one ever knows about. They are the quiet things that no one ever knows.
What is in your life that no one ever knows? Is it something that is hurting you? Is it something that is longing to get out but there is no where to truly get it out? Are there praises that need to get out but there are no words that can truly describe it?
Quiet things that no one ever knows. Should it be like that? Should all the things deep inside go without notice?
I think that there are some things that need not be known in the general public of things, but does that mean that they go unspoken? What is the extent of too much is too much and not enough is spoken? Should the quiet things ever go unheard?
Maybe there is no real structure to this and maybe there is nothing solid to base this on, but these are just the random ideas that start to form in my noggin.

An unknown future with a known God....
The quote of my day has to be from the devotional that I went through today. At the very end Corrie Ten Boom said this; "Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God". It took me a few times of reading this to just start to put it all together. And when I look at everything in the past few months, I look at how gracious and glorious our God truly is. I feel like that within the past few days things have started to just really fall into place. There is no other way to describe it other than the fact that I have put this all in God's hands. And then this quote...how amazing it is. How much it was needed to be heard today. The timing of our God is so perfect and amazing.
There have been a few things that I have been thinking about since I have a lot of time to do just that. One of the things that I ahve really enjoyed thinking of is how amazing it would have been to be Ezekiel and to see God. But not really "see" Him since He is a bright fiery light that is blinding. And the only thing that Ezekiel is capable of is to just drop to his knees. I started thinking about how awesome it would be to see that. And then after a conversation with such an amazing friend there were more parts to this that I never even considered. The fact that God would consider us worthy to even be in the presence of Him would be so awesome. But what if these occurunces happen all around us, but we are too busy and too consumed with ourselves that we don't even notice them. And God is screaming out loud saying "You want signs and you want to see me, and I have been here showing you, but you have not paid any attention!" I wonder how many of those times I have passed up or neglected.
But then after analyzing that, I then come back to this summer in Poland of Exodus 34:14 - for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. *record scratch* Whoa! Here again is this proof of God taking on another name, this time Jealous. The word for this name of God is El Qanna. This is so profound because the past two ideas tie in with this. God wants our all, he wants our attention, our focus, the glory that we are supposed to give Him (the glory that we were created for ) and He wants it NOW. So if I want to not be afraid of an unknown future, I give it all to God and allow Him to move. If I want to experience and see and be in the knee dropping presence of God, I must give Him my all, must put all my attention and focus on Him. And maybe, maybe He would find me worthy to reveal Himself. But I think that He has already revealed Himself and has shown Himself all too many times, but I/we have been so blinded. So consumed with everything else.
So in the midst of all this thinking the common factor that keeps coming up is the future. I know that myself I constantly am thinking about the future. Or atleast I was before Poland. But there was something amazing that happened in Poland, and I think it was the culture of Poland that really helped this out. The thing that happened was that I do not worry about the future, don't think too far ahead and sometimes do not even think of it all. Because in Poland you just take each day as it comes. Each day is a blessing from God, make the best of it. If you spend most of your day thinking about the future, how much do you miss out on in the now? It is amazing to not worry too much about the future when you know that God has complete control of it in the first place. Matthew 6:34 says "Do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
I have been reading Erwin McManus' book "Seizing Your Divine Moment" and have been really moved by the words that have been placed in there. I think it is amazing that I bought this book about a year ago, and right after from getting back from Poland I decide to finally read it. The first chapter I am blown away at the wisdom that is poured out. The idea that there are moments around us, that we must make the step to take them and not hesitate is so uplifting and encouraging. But what is more encouraging is the idea that regardless of what moment I take advantage of, whether it is backed up by God or not, the Sovereignty of God is far greater than any doofus mistake I could make. And that right there is what comforts me.
I am amazed at how God can move so much in one little person's life. But not only that...but that He can move through millions of little peoples lives. Astounding to think how amazing and big and Jealous our God is. He is so good. Praise and glory be lifted up to Him. Forever and ever.

My Soul Sings...
"My Soul Sings, My Soul Sings, My Soul Sings, How I Love You"
Last night...wow what an amazing night of worship, what an amazing night of teaching, what an amazing night of God moving. I do not know what it is that has come upon me, my friends, my family or my entire life, but it is so amazing. Every moment and every day is a constant blessing, one that I wish to take advantage of.
I don't know what it is, but ever since I got back from Poland, I have been in such an uplifted mood. Nathan said that it is much like a high that everyone gets from time to time after going somewhere or being on a retreat, but this feels more than a high. It feels more than just a buzz that one would get after a mission trip. No not after experiencing the Polish culture or learning a lot about myself. Those things you cannot take away from a person. Growth....that is what I think I am going to coin this as. Growth in God, in faith, in love, in perspective, in humility, in passion, in kindness, in importance, in security, in worship, in prayer, in perseverance, in skills, in relationships, in openness...growth in LIFE.
Praise God!
Some amazing things happened last night both at the Post and after. I want to highlight on one aspect that I am still thinking of at this moment and may turn into more. The opening of this blog I wrote out the chorus of one of the songs we sang. It's a really profound statement. It's bold. It's not about the person, but it is about the inner self. The soul. The soul is singing out highest praise. The soul is singing out the love in which it has for God. How powerful! How moving! In this statement...in this anthem...we are proclaiming that it is not US who is singing to God, but it is our very being, our SOUL! It's the kind of worship that should drop you to your knees in total awe of the glory in which we are able to express ourselves from the inside out. It's not about the outward gestures that we do but it is about what is deep down inside of us and what our SOUL feels. A heart, a soul, after God, focused on God, will express highest praise! And that highest praise is the outpouring and the overflowing of the love in which God has given us.
"Bless the Lord O my soul and all that is within me. Bless His Holy Name." - Psalm 103:1
All that is within me, bless his holy name. Oh the outpouring that should take place every day so that we may be filled up new once again. How faithful and righteous is our God! And yet it is so often that we neglect the name of God, and we do not bless His name. Do we not mention the name of God because we are so full of ourselves that our name deserves more praise? Do we not mention the name of God because we are afraid of being judged? Do we not mention the name of God because we might get persecuted or not accepted? Do we MUMBLE the name of God in hopes that the one whom we are talking to will maybe not hear what we said? Why do we not proclaim His name BOLDLY?!?! How prideful we are to neglect the name of God? When will we get over ourselves and with ALL of our SOUL bless Him, with ALL that is WITHIN US? That time is now!
The glory of the Lord upon us is so amazing that we should not neglect it. Take advantage of it, use it and show it. It's not that hard, when you minimize yourself and maximize God. The nice thing about that is that it is easy to do. The God of the universe who made the stars, the moon, the earth, the sun, the galaxies and us....is HUGE! And yet we still attempt to make ourselves bigger. How foolish we are. But may we change, and find the humility to become so small that we are insignificant in comparison to God, and through that God will shine through us even more.
Oh how my soul sings of the love that God has shown me. Praises be to God.

Securly fastened in the glory of God
So some things are going on right now. A lot has happened since getting back from Poland. I have started to process a lot, and realized that sometimes seeing God's hand in your life is easier once looking back. I knew that this summer was God's leading and was all because He opened and closed doors. And now as I thought it would be over, I am still noticing God's presence and movement. This summer is not over. He is moving.
I started thinking yesterday as I received some news that could be life changing, that my security is not based on this world. It's based on God's grace and leading. Praise God. If my security were on this earth, I would be freaking out right now. But God's providence and grace is far more sufficient and wise than anything on this earth will be.
I was going around running some errands today and noticed how happy I was. Smile on my face, hop in my step and just a good attitude. Did Poland really do this to me? Or maybe it is just God exuding out of me. Lord I pray that is the case.
Ok so this is a bunch of rambling but it is good for me to get this out of my head. It feels so good, and praise God for all that is happening and will happen.

Where I need to be is here...but where here is I do not know....
I am once again sitting in my room in ZakoĊciele and am just amazed and humbled at how good God is. Every day I seemed to be reminded at how immense God's kingdom really is and how small I am. Although I may be small and flawed God still finds favor in me...in us. Psalm 8 puts it beautifully at how great God is.
I am constantly finding myself asking the same question of God. Where do you want me to be. Each and every day I seem to be getting closer to the answer, but yet I still do not know where He wants me. I continually seem to find comfort in knowing that God is in control and I have no part in knowing what that may be. I know though that somehow my place of calling is in Europe. But I know that there are a few things that just hold me back. It's the same thing over and over again. I think of my job, my family, rent and friends but when I look at Luke 9:57-62 I often wonder if there is some sort of form of hypocrisy in my life.
Luke 9:57-62 - As they were going along the road someone said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go." And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head." But he said, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father." And Jesus said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God." Yet another said, "I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home." Jesus said to him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."
Am I so concerned about all the things back home to truly follow God? Am I being distracted by the material possessions that I own, just to make another excuse for not following God? I know that this is what the internship is about and how exactly this will transform my life I am not sure, but what I do know is that my comfort is in the kingdom of God and the Scriptures that have been provided. Though the missionary call is something hard to understand when you do not have it yourself, it is easy to understand once you are there. And to truly read the verse I am going to end with, is hard to take in words, but understanding and doing is much easier.
Luke 18:29-30 - And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life."

Thoughts in a Meeting room
So I sit here in Zakosciele listening to a bunch of kiddos with their teachers. The words I do not completely understand but some I can pick up. It is funny how in a matter of a few weeks words can start to make sense and the wisdom of God can come upon me. I don't grant this wisdom on my part but on God. Sure I study it and am pushed by Dane to keep studying, but it is by the grace of God that I am able to understand.
I love that I have been blessed beyond measure to just be here, in a place where God is just moving. How I got here I do not know, but I am thankful. Not much is going on besides the fact that it is a nice relaxing day. I am hungry but that is okay because it is almost time to eat.
Just using this time to write down some thoughts...other than that nothing is happening.

The Land of Polska
So, the day seems to have come to an end. In the past week I have gone from getting together with my fellow Mi2ers and going to Tennessee for a retreat, eating a lot, going to the airport, flying and then arriving in Poland for my stay of 2 1/2 to 3 months. It's been one heck of a ride, but I am finally here. It's so weird to think that this is going to be my life for the next 3 months. There are some amazing things about it that I have never really even thought of before.
One of the things that amazes me, and I will never fully grasp, is how God chooses to use people. The stories of how each one of us, both the Kenya team and Poland team, have amazing people who have amazing stories of how they got there. Why did God choose to use us? How is God going to use us? Questions which will never really even be answered by our own comprehension.
I am amazed though, that there are 7 of us total who have decided to give up a summer to serve a God who is greater and mightier than anything of this world. Would I be able to give up my summer for something else that is as edifying as this? I don't think so. Why is it that God puts it in some peoples hearts to serve Him in other countries? What makes us so special, so capable, so trusting to do His work? I have never realized how hard it is to be a missionary, and how many or even how few are called to be in such a position. There are 2 types of people God created when it came to be missionaries. There are senders and then there are goers.
I can honestly say that at the moment, Poland is really amazing me, but also stretching me. I feel like right now it is so relaxed and calm before the storm because camps haven't started but at the same time there is a lot that needs to get done. We are uncertain of transportation, my camera does not work and we need to get money exchanged and buy some things. All that being said after day 4 in Poland, there is not much to worry about.
We spent today worshiping in Tomy church and it still amazes me that regardless of the language barrier we are able to still worship the same God. Even more amazing is that music is the universal language that everyone can speak and understand. We sang a few songs that I knew back in the States and so it was amazing to know that I knew the English version and was hearing the Polish version, but yet understood what they were saying by the music. Something very interesting.

Everything has passed...
Derby has come and gone. I was in Illinois visiting family. Oh how much I love my family!
I got to see the kiddos this weekend and just enjoyed seeing their innocence and pure excitement about the small things. I wonder sometimes why we cannot feel the same excitement about the small things. I think about how many blessings are bestowed upon me on a given day and how many times I do not take them in to be anything but pure happenstance. Perhaps my mind needs to travel back to the innocence that Olivia and Luke have. There seems to be no care in the world except to live and be happy and make the most out of it each day.
How many times do I wish for the day to be over? Why would I want something like that when each day is a blessing? Why would I wish for a day to be over when I know that I am going to wake up again the next day and say the same thing.
All that is on my mind right now is Poland and what all I need to get done and packed before then. I feel so pulled on both ends. I need to hang out with some people and other people want to hang out with me. I have work, and I have errands and expenses to take care of as well. It's hard to believe that I have only 2 Posts left. On top of that, one more weekend!!!
Mother's day is Sunday. Possibly going to Churchill Downs. I will be so excited if we go. Horse racing always seems to intrigue me. Why I do not know, but it just does.
There are so many things that I am looking forward to in Poland. Even though there are amazing things going on in Louisville this summer, I know that this summer in Poland will be even better.

Counting down the days
I am, and have been counting down the days. Mi2 starts in 17 days. Less than 3 weeks, close to 2. I am stoked! To express how stoked I am I found a picture that accurately expresses it.
So there is a blog that will be updated more than this. You can go here to check it out!

So this is the new year???
So this is the New Year...
Not much seems to be different from any other year. Looking back on 2008, it started off strong and ended stronger. I don't know how God does it, but in the midst of hurt, pain, joy, laughter, struggling and pride God continues to shine on more glorious than ever. Praise be to Him, whom all blessings and praises flow.
Looking back I can see the doors opening up for 2009, and let's just say that I am extremely excited about what is in store. Can 2009 be better than 2008. I sure hope so, because 2009 is starting to look awesome already.
