Heart Happenings.

Hi, my name is Rachel, and I am a write-aholic. I think I might enter myself into a 12 step program to get over this addiction that I have with words. It's on the verge of ridiculous. When my mind is racing, I pull out my computer or a pen and write it out. That's why there has been about a million blog posts the past few weeks...My mind has been racing,my heart dreaming, faster than Michael Phelps swims.

My heart has recently gone through some changing and realizations...
I am nothing.
I deserve nothing.
Yet, He gives me everything I could ever need.
"The ONE who we deserve the least is the ONE we need the most and the ONE who desires us the most..."
I have realized that we were made for love. I was made to need it, receive it, and more than anything, I was made to give it..."The greatest of these is LOVE..."

I am trying to figure out what the future is going to look like, and Jesus keeps saying, "Wait for it, child...Wait. I'll show you soon...Right now, live in the moment...Live in My presence and power..."

Also, I have this heart-longing to do orphanage work this summer out of the country. As you know if you know me at all, I want to start and orphanage or a teens home, so I obviously need to get some experience...Well, that and I love kids more than anything! :) So, I'm praying, listening, and pursuing with all I have. I know He has a plan...and I'm trusting Him...I'm looking into Uganda, Guatemala (where my precious Isaac lives--the beautiful boy I have been blessed with to sponsor...love him to pieces), and the Philippines. If you think about it, pray that Abba would reveal to me His direction and that I would listen to His voice saying, "This is the way; turn around and walk in it..." even when His plans and mine don't match. "My thoughts are not your thoughts...My ways are not your ways..."

Love. Love. Love.
