I am so excited for my outreach to begin! Next Tuesday my team is flying through San Francisco, Zurich, and Johannesburg - 3 days to get to Mozambique! God has done so much in me these last few weeks, showing me His love in new ways and giving me fresh insight into His word.

I want to share parts of a poem I wrote last night as I was in the prayer room meditating on God and talking with Him. I had a new awareness of His presence and love and wrote the pictures and feelings I had into words. I believe it's not just an expression of my own experience, but a reflection of God's heart for us.

Your love poured out over me
is more than I asked for
or than I can ever contain
shattering every enemy, every wall
clearing the way like fresh rain

You love me so much your heart doesn't
want to be separated from me
Your heart longs to know me and
talk with me and share with me
Your heart is a deep ocean
wild and free, and it holds me

You are pure and you want my pure devotion
You are like a warrior
fighting through a battle
walking through anything to get to me
Nothing deters or discourages you
You are wild after my heart
