It is now OUR blog, about our life, as a family, here in Texas.
We want to remember and document the things that God teaches us here at CFNI.
"Passion should drive you, but wisdom should hold the reigns."
We believe that God has brought us to this place in Texas for a time of hiding... a time of saturation... a season of preparation... a time of God marking us for what is to come. There are treasures hidden here for us, but we must seek HIS HEART with all our hearts. Surrender. Lay aside the sins that so easily entangle. Remove distractions. Get on our faces.
God has been asking us... Are you seeking my presence? Are you addicted to Me? Obsessed with Me? Do you know My heart? Do you love My presence? I know it sounds weird... but when we taste and see that the Lord is good, we will NEVER turn back! The things that break His heart, will not only break our hearts, but will move us to intercede, to fight.
"The only thing worse than being blind, is being blind without vision."

So lately, I have been asking God for His heart for me... His vision for our family. None of us can change the whole world and all the horrible things that happen daily... no child should die of cancer, no little girl should be sold as a sex slave, no unborn child should be murdered, no woman should be raped, no children should be without a father... this world is far from Christ... but Christ is not far from this world. What is the cause of Christ that grips your heart most? What causes you to lay in bed at night and weep? These causes deserve our heart, because they break the Fathers. We cannot change all of these things, but we can make a difference in the lives of the broken... even if its just one! We have the HOPE that the world needs... How can we as Christian be silent any longer? How can we shrug off the questions?
Oh God, Help us not to turn a blind eye to the hurting. Help us to stay flexible and pliable to the work of your Holy Spirit in our lives! Help us to learn to listen and to wait! Pry open our eyes to the hurting ones... not for our glory... not so that we think we are doing good... but because you see and you heal! You LONG to deliver, to save, to heal, to restore...
What is the cause that you will refuse to shrug off any longer? What is the passion of your heart? What are the dreams that your Father placed in your heart long ago? Maybe you don't know exactly what it is right now... I am still asking the Father for His heart for me... BUT don't stop asking, don't stop seeking; linger in His presence just a few moments longer...
What moves you with compassion?
