She laughs at the days to come...

Proverbs 31:25-26, 30

“Strength and honor are her clothing, and SHE CAN LAUGH AT THE DAYS TO COME. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and loving instruction is on her tongue… Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised.”

This verse challenges me to become a woman that is so in love and wrapped up in trusting God in the present, that I forget about the worries and fear I have for the days to come (aka the future). Therefore I am able to laugh and enjoy to the fullest His presence, the understanding and further discovery of realizing who He is, and the little blessings that He places in my life each day.

Have I come to the point where God can withdraw His blessings from me without my trust in Him being affected? Am I putting such a trust in the Lord that I no longer want His blessings, but only want God Himself? Whoa. Heart check. Do I really trust God entirely? It is so hard to let go and let God be the complete authority in my life. It’s also easy to hang on to what is comfortable because I know where it leads, but trusting God in the midst of the unknown is true faith. Comfort is easy but sometimes God asks us to do hard things. Am I willing to risk everything in order to follow what God is calling me to?  

All of God’s revealed truths are sealed until they are opened to us through obedience. Surrendering my will to Him today creates a greater opportunity for God to work in and through me. When I am reminded that I am absolutely nothing without Him, life becomes a lot clearer because I am not the center of it, God is. Obedience should be something I want to do as an expression of my love for God.

I am praying that as a woman seeking after God’s heart that my fear and doubt would cease in the lightness and utter joy of my trust in the Lord most High. I am so excited for the adventure God is taking me on and cannot wait to see what He is going to do. All the while I will enjoy each day filled with peace and laughter because I know my God is in control and loves me. I will choose to trust Him.  

Sometimes it's just that simple...

Sometimes all we need to do is live simple.
Sometimes the complexity of our minds go on never ending journeys of possibilities and we get trapped in a world of worry, doubt and what if's.
Sometimes we need to focus on and lend an ear to God for the right here and now.
Sometimes we need to be totally and completely surrendered which comes with a faith filled heart expectant of great things to come.
Sometimes all God wants us to do is wake up and love Him.
Sometimes it's just that simple.

The battle of hope

The emptiness surrounds me
Alone in the hope of what could be
Longing to feel the unknown
Wanting to be lost in it yet still at home
So much to give but nowhere to go
And every reminder feels like a blow
Searching for joy in the midst of the haul
But it’s like treading water or trying not to fall
On this path that is oh so steep
Constantly crawling, all I want to do is stop and weep
I feel like I’m wandering or waiting for nothing
Should I give up or just keep on going

MISSION: LONDON, ENGLAND! Support Letter...

Dear Family and Friends,

     For the past few months, God has been working in my heart to give me a passion for missions, both domestically and internationally.  My desire is to be used to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with a world that desperately needs a Savior.  This urgency to “Go!” has steadily grown as God has used my adolescent years of growing up in a ministry home as well as the past two years with the Ingredients Apprentice Program of Dance Revolution Ministries to lead me to answer His call to the mission field, wherever that may lead.

     With this call, I have been given an incredible opportunity to serve with Arrows International Ministries in London, England during the summer of 2012.  I feel that God has equipped me for this short term mission trip.  Arrows International takes groups of dancers to specifically perform in all kinds of venues to attract attention so the saving gospel of Christ can be shared in Word and deed.  The first part of the trip is a ten day period of training and preparing our minds, hearts, and bodies.  The next portion is fourteen days of outreach and ministry in London and surrounding areas.  These two weeks are when we will HIT the MARK and take all that has been prepared to evangelize, set captives free, share hope and bring healing to the land and unity among believers.  Team members will be challenged to grow spiritually, mentally, and physically during this unique mission trip.

     Will you please make a contribution to allow me to be a part of this ministry team?  Here’s how you can help:

1.  PRAY---Please pray for me as I prepare for this very important mission.  Pray for good health, physical stamina, financial needs and for my family as we are absent from each other.

2. ENCOURAGE---Please encourage me by letting me know you are praying and you believe in this mission and my calling. 

Address until end of May…275 East Vista Ridge Mall Dr. Apt. 7234  Lewisville, TX 75067

Address after May….. 1091 South Grant Ave.  Liberal, KS  67901

Telephone #620-309-0550   Email address… kimbo.dancingqueen@sbcglobal.net

3. GIVE---Please give financially.  This is not a vacation—it is hard work!  This trip is rather expensive due to rising costs of travel and the preparations for the summer Olympics in London this year.  The total cost is $5800 with my first installment of $2500 due at the end of March with other due dates throughout April, May, and June.

     I know that God is the Ultimate Provider and He can do anything!  I strongly believe that this is the beginning of the mission call that God has put in my heart.  After I return from this first international outreach, I would like to share with you the next step in my journey of being equipped to be His missionary. 

     Thank you for your consideration to sponsor me as a short term missionary to London, England during the summer of 2012.  May God richly bless you and your family. 

Respectfully and gratefully,

Kimberly Robinson

“I am the Lord; I have called you in righteousness; I will take you by the hand and keep you; I will give you as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations, to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness.  I am the Lord; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to idols.  Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.”  Isaiah 42: 6-9
