Sometimes..


Sometimes you need a little fire to satisfy your hunger!


Been craving these lately, and I realized a truth to this little saying... we need the fire of Christ to satisfy our hungery souls.

Walking Out.







"If we are never broken we can never be made whole." JJ Heller-- It takes pain, to go the next step... to go deeper and to have better relationships. Be vulnerable even if it hurts! 


This was my status today on Facebook, the reason because I am going through this very step. Why the picture? Because this is me, my true self.. a person that I tried to smuggle away. At the core of my being, I am loud, spontaneous, and deep. I took risk, I was the one who got out in the middle of everything and did something crazy when no one would, I would dance in the grocery store, I would be the person to push people into doing something that they wouldn't do.... and now I wish I had that part of me back. 


I try to smuggle my true self with the excuse that I'm being more mature. Last year, I had lied to myself by excepting that being meek was being quiet.... and now I am beginning to understand the real meaning of that verse. Its not a outside action but, a heart action... that verse has nothing with me being quiet exactly but, with me being open to listen continuing to what He says. It has nothing to do with me being quiet! 


Another thing that came out of that time, is me being afraid to trust... its a generational curse. I am afraid of being vulnerable, I'm afraid of getting hurt. And honestly, I hate it... and I have decided I am going to try my hardest, along with Christ, to brake through. For this very thing is entering into my relationship with Christ...and its simply not exceptionable. 
So even though its hard, we have to step into vulnerability even if it hurts... because if we don't then we will forever be in a dull, shallow place. We have to take risks in order to live... its a no brainer! 


So I am walking out of the person I am now, and getting back to the real Kassie...the one full of freedom, Joy, wisdom, and all the other things that I have decided to hide from people because of the level of fear in my heart of getting hurt. It won't be easy but, I have to do this! Because I can't be a healthy leader, if I'm not out of the bondage of fear for myself. God is healing me of this, and He has called me into vulnerability... so be ready Kassie is coming out!

Journaling



Something i love to do is journal.... I love writing, drawing, etc. Which you can do both those things, and many more things in journals. The thing that I love to use journals for are ministry opportunities.... What I like to do is having journals for different people and then to pray into them.. and let the Spirit lead me in what to write or draw, etc. for or to that person.
I love this... because its a discreet way to pour into a persons life with, encouragment, words of knowledge, visions, and so much more!

I just wanted to share that idea with you all! Its one a great way to grow in the lord, and two a great way to spread the love of God!

God Fullfils Promises


Friends,
I just had to share the exciting news! The words that have been spoken over me, and the things that God has confirmed are coming true.
Honestly, I've been second guessing those promises... just because I've been waiting so long! But God rewards those who obey, and friends ever sense my Birthday those promises have been answered immediately right after another!
Not only promises but, prayers. I prayed for a place where I could grow in relationships, have practice for the the things that God has called me to and where I can grow in school. Well, on my Birthday guess where I was.. The Daniel Academy. A school built out of IHOP. Its half homeschool, half Christian school and everything I asked for is there!

I prayed that God would bring me opportunities to grow in my calling of being a worship leader...that He has called me to be, and guess what? the music teacher at my school is teaching us in worship and she has offered to help us (me and my sisters)  after school hours with music and different things!

Also been praying about the ministry I've been thinking about, and God has brought different people into my life to partner in this! Also I'm part of the youth leadership team at my youth group... and I'm having so much fun pouring into the lives He is bringing in...which is something I've always wanted!

GOD FULFILLS PROMISES.... but these are prayers right? Well, all these things I've asked God about and He has continually said, "They will be answered." He has promised that these will come true... and that the call to be a worship leader will be, and me being a leader to my generation... That has already happened.

So many things happening, its a bit overwhelming...

Lovesick...




love·sick:  Adjective: In love, or missing the person one loves, so much that one is unable to act normally


Today I am so lovesick, its serious! As I began to do the dishes I began to have a conversation with Christ. 


"I am so lovesick, its... I hate to say it but ridiculous." (Me) 


"If you think that little bit that your experiencing is ridiculous, then imagine what I feel! And  I can't even express my love-sickness as I desire, because my people reject me and some don't even know who I am!" (Christ) 

I could feel and hear the frustration, and the passion He has for His Bride! I thought about what He said, and I suddenly felt His emotions...Imagine being SO in love with a person that you die for them and come back but, their so confused, hurt, abused, by the very guy who killed you... that they don't know how to love you anymore! Or rather... He has lied to them for so long that they don't even know who you are! 


I would die, if the people I love didn't know how to love me, or didn't even remember my name! Christ loves us SO MUCH... I am even more lovesick... and I so wish and pray that all us will get this...that HE LOVES US! He loves His people, even the ones who don't know Him and have ran away from His arms. 
I am now consumed with mourning for my brothers and sisters, for they do not know my Jesus like I do but, if they did.... oh how much joy, love, etc they would experience and encounter! 

(So one let Christ know how much you love and adore Him, and two simply share Christ love...not by shouting "Your going to Hell!" not by "Saying come to my Church!"... for those bring strings into relationships...there is plenty of time later when they begin to trust and know that Christ really does love them...when you can share that.  Just be there... like Christ is always there. For more people right now need the comforting, to be lead to the revelations, to be lead the teachings. ) 


Oh my... I am so lovesick right now!













A Date...

A Few words to Share~~~~~~~~~~~~

So I'm starting to plan date-mornings, date-nights with my beloved! Yes, dates with Christ...
I'm really excited, I already have some ideas. Coffee of course, and other things... You wish you knew! ;)
 
I just want to share a point fairly quick, that Jesus loves when we treat Him like a actual person. I can't stand the way we talk about Him like he isn't around He more, because He's around alright!
 
~~~~~ 
 
 Anyways... Here is a verse I wanted to share.
 
Song of Solomon 2:16
My lover is mine, and I am his.

I've been doing a study on this at MikeBickle.com, it is so good! This one verse has inspired me so much... I encourage you to check it out!
