A few years ago during a really hard, and nearly hopeless time in my life I attended a service at a little church in Sarnia that had a guest speaking on prophecy. He picked me out in the crowd and asked if he could share what he felt the Lord wanted to share with me. I am always up for hearing from the Lord, so I agreed. He said some pretty amazing things that only could have come from the Lord, but the thing that sticks out to me the most is “your coming alive to thrive.” I didnt……actually I couldnt, understand what that meant at that time. I only knew that something, somewhere inside of me was screaming to come alive and the thought that it was about to thrilled me beyond what any words can describe.


When I didnt wake up the next day a different person I was disappointed. I wanted life to change that instant. What I didnt realize then is that the Lord wanted to refine me and challenge me…to build my character and teach me on the journey. Not to bring me to the destination immediately. In that, there would have been no depth or root to the life that the Lord was birthing in me.

Nearly two years after this experience LeadTime started. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I first came here but now as the experience is about to come to an end I am realizing that this experience is what the Lord has used to bring life to my heart. I will leave here and continue to grow and deepen my relationship with him, this is defintily not the end of the adventure, but the intensity of this year, the intesity of this experience has been like a spiritual defibrillator for my heart.

I dont where I am going from here yet, but what I do know is that I am leaving with a passion for life like I never had and never knew I was capable of. I am excited for what the Lord has for me and and am so thankful that He has brought me to a place where I can truly appreciate life and soar while enjoying it!!
This song has summed it up pretty well for me….

This might hurt
It’s not safe
But I know that I’ve gotta make a change
I don’t care
If I break
At least I’ll be feeling something
‘Cause just ok
Is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life
I don’t wanna go through the motions
I don’t wanna go one more day
Without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don’t wanna spend my whole life asking
What if I had given everything?
Instead of going through the motions
No regrets
Not this time
I’m gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love
Make me whole
I think I’m finally feeling something
Take me all the way
