Livin Life.... Lovin God.... & Ridin the Wave

About Me


I know nothing except, that I am desperate for not only a touch from Him but a habitation of the God of the universe in my life. I can't live without Him. I can't function without His very breath breathing into my nostrils. My one hearts cry is to be in rhythm with his heart beat. To feel what He feels, to hear what He hears, to see what He sees, to smell what He smells, to taste what He tastes. I love Him and long to be with Him. The separation between Him and I is excruciating. I long to be with the One who is ravishing my heart, captivating my thoughts and enthralling my being, but there is a job to be done, people who need rescuing, people who need saving, people who need to experience this incredible God who is in love with them. So like Paul, I say, "For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain. Yet if I live, that means fruitful service for Christ. I really don't know which is better. For I am torn between two desires: Sometimes I want to live, and sometimes I long to be with Christ. That would be far better for me, But it is better for you that I live. I am convinced of this, so I will continue with you so that you will grow and experience the joy of your faith." Philippians 1:20-25

My Interests

L-O-V-E - Its a small four-letter word that will cost you everything: laying down your life; passion and compassion; giving without expecting; feeling His very heartbeat and surrendering to His rhythm; following the Lamb wherever He goes - even to Mozambique. - Heidi Baker, Iris Ministries

Jesus is my all time hero. My grandfather is one of the most amazing men I know. The man on earth who is my role model of whom I aspire to be like. Rolland and Heidi Baker changing an entire nation for the glory of God. My little bro is my local hero. He is an remarkable guy and any girl who gets near him, just may dissapear mysteriously. :) I love you bro. You rock!
