when we choose to learn from others it is like washing their feet. it is being willing to listen intently to what they are saying. validating who they are. blessing them. it is putting aside all of our own opinions and choosing to be with them to understand. to be refreshed with another perspective. to understand their mind. to understand their heart. to relish in the TIME of loving them with no reservations, no walls.


i want to be a life time learner.
one who is willing to learn is a disciple.
i want to be a disciple.
what do i as God's daughter want people to see and taste of the Father when they see me?
what do i want them to learn by seeing me act the way i do, speak the way i speak, dance the way i dance?
what i learn from my brothers and sisters through Holy Spirit i want to fully digest, fully receive. then i want to distribute the richness of the truth which has been freely given to me.
i want a river to naturally flow through me so what i learn would spill over the sides of my heart, flow into and out of my mouth, my hands, and then flow into another person's being.


while being in Latvia for almost a week i saw not only an illustration of the Bride of Christ but the actual, breathing body that God says He is preparing and establishing. over 300 people from 21 nations gathered together to serve a city. the statistics from our ministry time amaze me but what amazes me more is the family i found. i like to believe i sat at many peoples' feet and washed them. i chose to listen. i chose to ask questions. i chose to ask God for His eyes to actually see them. to love them. to learn from them.


the river inside of me naturally flowed filling me with joy. i could not help but sing and dance. what i learned from my brothers and sisters through Holy Spirit came out of me in a crazy wild expression of His extravagant love.
