Processing about Malaysia+this past season in the most conducive way (for me) possible. Even though it’s overwhelming IN THE MOMENT when thoughts are accelerating through your mind at 50 mph, I always find myself thankful that I have a lot to process. It just means God showed me that much. My attempt to organize my thoughts :) This has definitely been a season of learning/re-learning: love, family, new levels of sanctification. God likes to sanctify till I cry… (hahaha in a good lovin’ way of course)
1) S. Korea is such a plastic nation if you think about it. It seems everything is staged and directed by some obscure script that a vast majority of the population has memorized by heart. It’s SO plastic. But guess what? Fire melts plastic. Fill up Your Church with MORE fire, Lord.
2) I have those days where I just beat myself up. But my greatest defense in those moments is Jesus. He keeps all the blows from penetrating. Thank you, Jesus :)
3) I don’t want to be acknowledged as Jamie the girl who loves justice. I’d like to be the girl who loves Jesus thus it’s only natural she loves people and justice, hence it makes even MORE sense she wants to see the captives set free because of her love for Jesus, people and the things He loves (which includes justice and people) Redundant I know, but it got the point across effectively in my stream of consciousness.
Till next time :)

This is where God made me realize the best place to be is intimacy. It was on the missions field in West Papua where we saw over 100+ physical healings, breakthroughs and just all around, signs and wonders. And while all of that was amaaaaazing, nothing satisfies as much as INTIMACY. God gave me this revelation as I was looking out unto this breathtaking view that is but a tiny glimpse of His beauty. WOW. No wonder I always get a (good) ache on my heart when I’m surrounded by nature.. something about it just reminds me of the nature of God.

Happy birthday John!!! (Taken with picplz.)
A couple of nights ago, I was watching an old BBC documentary about NKorea’s state of mind. There’s a scene where people are gathering in an outdoor assembly square to worship an oversized status (to say the least..) of Kim Il Sung on his birthday. Even though he’s deceased, his birthday is a big deal as it’s declared a 2 day nat’l holiday.
The next morning, the Spirit led me to 1 Chronicles 29:10-22. It reminded me of the assembly scene from the documentary in the likeness that David was in front of a gathered assembly of officials, workers, commanders and all the mighty men. The obvious difference in this scene from the one in the documentary is that they were congregated to hear 1) David’s desire to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant 2) David’s charge to Solomon 3) David BLESSING the Lord because he knew that the abundance they’ve received to build the house came from the Lord.
This was an assembly that desired to simply minister to God because they knew all good things came freely from Him.
It’s time for NKorea to stop assembling to ‘worship’ a ‘god’ who only wreaks oppression which leads to death. And it’s time for them to assemble to worship the true God that gives all good things which includes life in freedom!

This was the least graphic picture I can find.
