This year has by far been the most intense of my life. It started in January when I followed Gods call on my life to move back to Matheson from Sarnia after being there for 5 years. Where I spent 6 months before I left for Branson MO to start a discipleship program, LeadTime.
December 27 marked 10 years that I have been following Jesus! I have grown a whole lot in those ten years, as I have sought answers, navigated life and added a few more greys then I would care to admit Without a doubt I have done most of my growing in the last year, especially in the last six months.
There are alot of reasons I say this but the most obvious to me, and most understandable to others is love, and what I have experienced when it comes to “true love” as spoken of in scripture.
In scripture Jesus prays that people will know “us,” as in his followers by our love. I have always heard/known this scripture and its always had some truth behind it for me, but never in the way it does now.
Not long after I started LeadTime I started to feel with a much deeper intensity then I have ever felt in my entire life. At first it was scary to me. I had never experienced it and to me it was unknown and foreign. I developed a deep love for the girls in my room, the Bigs I was sharing my life with and everyone else at Doulos. Even people I dont really know, on some level I became aware of a love that I have for them, simply, because like me they love and follow The Master.
Then came the opportunity to see old friends I had known since the beginning of my walk. I love these people. Yet, never had I felt the love for them that I did now. Incredible! The more I fall in love with Jesus and get a clearer picture of who is He and what He is all about the more my heart opens and the more love keeps spilling out. And I love it!! HAHA
