Blue Stained Moments – Portraits of the Past Path

BLUE STAINED MOMENTS

Blue stained the moments I had there  

Isolated, silenced in love with my Father
me at training camping with my first squad

I sat out there and dreamed about all I would blog about for 11 months – I was on the precipice of something but of what I did not know

I still do not know

I only saw into the next trip – I didn’t see all the other Blue stained moments I’d have there

I found Jesus walking alone in the woods, and I’d continue to do so the years to come – wherever I was – escaping into Him 

I found Jesus looking into local eyes like these, and I’d continue to do so the years to come – wherever I was – escaping into Him

 Then I went there to sit in where I didn’t know this journey was bringing me – stripped surrender 

Layers were pulled away until Jesus actually became Lord

What would I tell the Senior year of college me? 

I wouldn’t. Jesus had already become worthy of my all, and I was going to follow Him no matter the hardship 

The hardship seemed to become greater but so did the joy of the calling 

 

There’s a blue stain of disappointment, heartache of all that I had loved

All that I had loved those two transformed years 

All that He had loved 

There’d be a time I sat there absolutely at the end of myself after explaining to loved ones what God had revealed within about some call to people not many went to

JJ sat there with me and said mark my words Hannah this will be hard, but there is so many people for you to impact. She had said something about what I meant to her over 6 months. I took in squad Gap23 like they were my own, and I had never experienced such a loss as that season coming to an end

 Beyond what I could have ever dreamed or could deserve came on the back of the realest Hineni (here I am send me, before knowing where) I’d ever given 

To find awe-inspiring promise on the other side of obedience 

It’s them; K squad

 Then I came here and somehow still wondering my place…

feeling at the beginning again

 What about the prophecy and breakthrough of the last season – it felt disguised 

Come all over like a child to the Father again

I’d come one night this week dancing in freedom I‘d never experienced

Emptying myself in unhindered joy of movement 

Only dancing could express it – who He was and what He’d done 

Nights later I weeped in the same space onto Jesus’ feet without understanding  

But it was all about what JJ said

touching lives by the Spirit 

The Blue stains came whether in tears or dancing, isolation or belonging 

 Blue stains were the touch of His Spirit 

my only constant was Faithful 

His love consistent 

 It was all worth it, each time 

the one 

was seen by Christ

aided toward an eternal hope and understanding of the vastness of an unexplainable love

Blue stains were about His glory  

 I just had to keep coming  

Coming to Him 

 Turning the page 

20 of us alumni are back at it again. For one cause – that all nations could know His goodness and bring praise to Him. We have had a week of a month long Perspectives training – in depth Biblical foundation for missions and how we can share Jesus and not American Christianity to the nations. 

  Looking out

To 3 months in the 10-40 window where unreached people groups are. Those who are likely to never hear the Name that came for restoration and to give the shamed belonging, the lost direction, the broken hearted healing. 

Thank you so much for partnering with what God is doing around the world. I am amazed by how the Lord has provided where He has called this far! $2,000 more to go by the end of this month to launch to serve Muslims and refugees, with the most on fire, all-in, Spirit-filled group I’ve been a part of. Partner through prayer and donation!
