Rez Life

Take highway 371 from Farmington turn right at mile marker 75, follow the curves of the dirt road and watch out for wash outs. Take a right and then a left and you've found it. There is the church in Bisti. The church that has opened its doors for me and for countless others.

{Praise be to you,Lord, for this little church in Bisti! Praise The Lord for the time I've spent here and how it's prepared me for what is to come in my life.}

Inside this little building I mopped, I swept, cleaned outhouses, washed dishes, hauled water, prepared meals and shook many hands. Here I learned to sing in Navajo, say hi and bye, I learned that God receives glory in all situations, that God provides even for the simplest needs. Through the people I learned how God changes lives, speaks every language and restores all situations. They taught me how to pray with purpose and that sharing your testimony with your community is healing and bonding. In this little building I met people that I will keep with me forever, conversations I will treasure and memories I'll laugh about for years to come. It was here God revived my spirit.

{I pray blessing over this place. That the days to come will bring restoration to a community and that you, lord, will break chains of poverty, break chains of shame, break chains of pain. You O God are loving and you O Lord are good. }

My time on the "Rez" has been so special. I can feel the lord tugging me, I can feel him inviting me to experience more with him. I know He is guiding me through change and growth. He is encouraging me to be intentional In relationships and to put into practice grace and love even when it's hard. These coming months are going to be more challenging then I had expected, but I have no doubt they will be some of the riches I've ever experienced. He is here!! He is working, molding and preparing and I am so honored to serve the King of Kings who longs to use me despite my complete inability!

Praise the Lord!!
