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  

Somewhere there is a man...

Somewhere there is a man. A man seeking wise counsel. A man searching after God's heart. A man striving to obey and fulfill the calling God has placed on his life.
Somewhere there is a man who finds his strength in the Word so that when faced with temptations his stance is firm.
Somewhere there is a man with such confidence and trust in God that he dares to believe the impossible can happen.
Somewhere there is such a man who is thoughtfully planning ahead for his wife and family. A man preparing his heart and mind for the responsibility he will take on. A man getting ready to protect and lead the blessings he is to be given.
Somewhere there is a man that is so in love with his Creator that he stands in awe of His Presence. A man that delights in the little things. A man that is grateful and treasures every moment, taking nothing for granted.
Somewhere there is a man who is selfless beyond compare. A man who's heart is humbled and laid before the cross, willing to follow his Savior wherever He may lead.
Somewhere there is a man eager to be a father guiding his children on the path of righteousness. A man looking for a woman following God's heart and pursues her. A man that looks at this woman for who she is; a beautiful daughter of the King.
Somewhere there is such a man that treats this woman with respect and honor. A man who knows how to be a gentleman.
Somewhere there is a man who will care and listen to this woman's deepest passions, thoughts and concerns.
Somewhere there is a man who is willing to be a servant. A man who is real and genuine.
Somewhere there is a man who knows how to lighten the mood and is not afraid of being silly. A man who dares to be different, takes risks and loves adventure.
Somewhere there is a man who will hold a woman's hand all the days of her life and never let go.
Somewhere there is a man who will love someone inspite of all their flaws; good days and bad days. A man who's joy and smile lights up the room.
Somewhere there is a man that when speaks God's power and authority are known.
Somewhere there is such a man who would lay down his life for another.
Somewhere there is a man becoming like my Jesus.

Richness of Your Love

My heart aches, yearns, longs for you.

I’m desperate and lost without you.

I desire to know that you are near.

I am quenched without your Presence

I thirst to hear your voice and I am hungry for your words that fill my very being

What can I do but melt in your arms when you speak of the love that overwhelms my soul.

There are so many sides and facets to your Love

It is real, genuine, sweet, secure, comforting, constant, romantic, delightful, intense, fierce, deep, limitless, overwhelming, unpredictable, unconditional, unfathomable

You showed love in the greatest way

 The way no one else could or would

You shed your blood for me

Wore a crown of thorns, and endured pain not only physically but emotionally

You took on my sin, my wrong, my mistakes and failures

You went to hell for me

Hung on a cross and died for me

How precious is your love and yet we still doubt it

 But what You did for me, there is no explanation about it

Except the richness of Your Love which is in Your holy presence

My greatest desire...

Lord I want to put you first in all that I do

Let nothing of this world capture my attention

May my eyes be that of a dove

Completely focused upon your face

Strip away the distractions of my fleshly desires

Take away every selfish thought that grips hold of my mind

I want to be consumed in the fullness of your sweet romance

Let the love I yearn for be found eternally

For nothing can satisfy the desperate longing of my heart but you, O God, my Lover, My Prince

The Haze

Deepest dreams crushed by dead words

In the dim now my vision blurred

Reaching, yearning, wanting more but drowned out by the monotone reality of a score

Yeah, I may look crazy, I may be different

But I trust and depend on the one who has no limits

Open your eyes, how can’t you see

There is so much more I am to be

November 17, 2011

Last semester was tough for me...I felt as if I were in a haze trying to figure out my life and the direction God has for me...the problem is that I've been holding on too tightly to the blessings, experiences and opportunities God has given me. I've realized that we are to have open hands, minds, and hearts not clinging to what has been given to us for right now because then we miss the fullness of what the Lord wants to do through us and bless us with in the future. Praise God for bringing me up out of my own misery and sin, setting me on the mountaintop and giving me His eyes and perspective!

I dissapeared in His Presence...

I disappeared in His presence

His love came and washed over me

Like a raging wave of a stormy sea

It engulfed my pride by knocking me down

Making me realize who I am meant to be

For I am not the problem and I am not the answer

The only hope I hold is in you, alone, no other
