Dust

I see dust and my mind automatically goes to unclean, nasty, dirty... When guests come over that is one of the first things we go and clean, all the random book shelves, and TV stands that haven't been dusted in months and have just been collecting little clumps of dirty earth particles that turn into dust. 

In our mind dust is a bad thing, but it's part of life. We have come to accept that dust will collect in our homes and the minute you clean the dust you know that in due time it will be back. It's a cycle. A dirty nasty cycle that never ends. 

I have quickly learned that my precious friends I have made on the streets at night, and the beautiful girls that surround us daily, have been taught that they are dust. That they are nasty, dirty, little clumps of particles that are in a never ending cycle of sex. They are cleaned up during the day just to go out at night and get wiped up and tossed in the trash and told how dirty they are and deserve to be there. 

This is reality for them, right? However, isn't it reality for us to? We all started out as dust. We all started out as nasty, dirty clumps of earth, that our Father then formed us out of dust from the ground and blew into our nostrils the breath of life. 

From that moment we came alive, a living soul.. Can you imagine God picking up this dirty pile of dust and looking at and saying my beloved, you are mine, and I am making beauty from ashes.. We came alive. He made a beautiful thing from what we call nasty. He made us clean. He BREATHED life into us. 

That is Gods reality for my precious friends, for his beautiful little girls, for us. He is taking our chaos, taking our dirty mess and making it beautiful. He is giving us life, giving us value, giving us eternal hope,  and giving us beauty. 

All around this place hope is springing up from dirty ground

Out of chaos life is being found in HIM

Out of chaos the dirty cycle is being changed, life is being found

All around this place hope is springing up from HIS breath of life

God's beating HEART

You know that place where you just come alive, where you look up to God and you just know that with everything in you this is where HIS heart his for you. That moment you hear his heart beat, and then he whispers I love you baby girl, and you just melt to the floor.

Yea, that moment, is right now. That moment is defining my every move right now. The lord is singing over me with every step in the dirt, every turn I make, every handshake with new friends.

His heart that I am so seeking after with every bone in my body, I found it. I found it in the dirt with a baby who was playing with his mud pile, I found it as I was walking into one of my girls homes and I hear her yelling Auntie BRE BRE, I found his precious heart as I was holding the mamma who was selling her body at night to feed her kids as her tears stained my skirt at the bar while she was crying out for more...

 God’s heart is here. He LOVES this place. He loves these people with a passion that just burns inside the deepest part of my being… My world is being rocked by God’s love yet again. The way he allows you to come alive when you are walking in his destiny, when you are walking in the dream he had inside you the whole time.

I am only 4 days in this adventure and I am just on fire riding the glory wave that HE is stirring up in this beautiful place! Justice is on its way. It has no better place to be then right in the center of God’s beating heart. I have no better place to be then right here in the will of God.

I am home.
