Again I say

Teri curly - sm

I’ve been busy. Too busy to do much more than what is needed. Can I get a witness?

I’ve also been a bit down. (See last post.) Anyone else?

I find there is a correlation between the two… 

disappointment pieIt’s a pretty easy recipe:

  1. Start with a whopping helping of too much on my plate
  2. Add a cup of expecting too much
  3. Toss in three tablespoons of neglecting to take care of myself
  4. Kneed it together into a big glob,
  5. Cook it at 450 degrees for a few days and…
  6. POOF - pull out a delectable dish of disappointment.

**I’m sure I just heard a “yes and oh yeah” from out there.**

You know what?

It’s not cutting as deep as it used to. It’s not making me stumble so profoundly. The discouragement is looking more like a warning signal that I’m overdoing rather than a statement about my ability to manage life

I’m learning…I’m growing…I’m being changed a little bit at a time.

This is the journey. This is what it looks like. Bit by bit, day by day, prayer by prayer we grow.

And now we’ve come to the last requirement for experiencing more in our relationship with Christ – STICK TO IT.

(The first two are passion and listening.)

I can’t tell you how many times disappointment has dogged me. How many times have I let it steal purpose right out of my heart? I’d probably get discouraged if I thought about it too long.

If we passionately surrender our lives to Jesus’ leadership, and if we truly ask, seek, and listen, then we will experience more. THEN, we do it again the next day and the next and the next one after that.

We fall, we get up. We stumble backward, we shift our weight forward. We stop, we snap our suspenders and get our feet moving again. We take a wrong turn, we go back and make the right one.

All the while, God is there. He strengthens us with the promises of his word. He helps us with his presence, encourages us through others. And he transforms us while we walk it out.

I’ve found a tool that delete-bigreally helps me stick to it. I heard it on a podcast from YWAM.

They call it the 4 R’s. Repent, Rebuke, Receive, Renew.

So, when I stumble, fall, stop, or whatever (which is everyday by the way) – I do the 4 R’s:

REPENT- I find myself repenting of my distrust more times than not. Times I feel I can do a better job at being God than God can. Anyone?

Lord, I repent of my distrust of you. I’m sorry for taking control of the life I gave to you.

REBUKE – Tell the enemy off who would come to steal, kill, and destroy.

I rebuke my enemy who would steal the abundant life from me that Jesus so freely gives. I rebuke you for telling me I can’t trust God! Get away from me in the name of Jesus!

**If we stop there, we can become the victims of shame and guilt. We need to go deeper… **

RECEIVE – We need to acknowledge that we have been forgiven – that the debt is already paid for.

Jesus, I receive your forgiveness completely. I receive your love and mercy. And I freely forgive myself.

RENEW – You need to replace the lie with the truth in order to really get the full benefit of your salvation.

I renew my mind to the truth that you, God, have plans to prosper me and not to harm me. That you are a good, good God and everything you allow in my life is to bring redemption and beauty and transformation. I surrender to your loving hands. I trust you.

Then PRESS DELETE and keep going. Do not linger on it, just keep pressing forward.

It doesn’t take long to do, but since I started using this tool, I’ve found more freedom than ever before. It’s simple to use but powerful in results.

Even our feeble attempts will help.

God isn’t interested in our perfect performance.
He wants our passion (heart, mind, soul, strength) in its imperfect form.

 

That’s kind of the point.

“Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13-14

A Season of ‘RE’

Posted on by
Standard

Teri

Teri in the TetonsThese past few months have been a time of redefining, refining, and realigning. That’s a lot of “RE”.

It has been one of the sweetest times with the Lord I can remember as we’ve spent a lot of time in quiet communion.

But, I can felt the wind shifting and know my sails are starting to billow once more. I am a wanderer, an explorer, an adventurer and I can feel myself straining to see what’s around the river bend.

One of the biggest lessons of my season of “RE” is a readjustment of the expectations of my own performance. I guess I got to thinking I was capable of much more than I really was. Or maybe it was that I thought I should be able to do much more?

I’ve been labeled ‘super-overachiever’ more than once. Okay, so more than a lot of times. Truth is, I have a achieved a lot. Not nearly as much as many others, but probably more than most.

It’s been really, really hard work. I love hard work. I love the feeling of accomplishment after you pour blood, sweat, tears, and life juice into something. And I’ve experienced some really wonderful fruit from that labor.

What I’m learning is when you work in rhythm with Jesus, the work isn’t hard and the fruit much more plentiful.

What do I mean? Honestly, I’m still in the process of figuring it out. But, I’ll try to explain. It’s pretty fresh and a bit rough, but here it is…

God said, “You are a dream guide who helps others toward their Kingdom dreams.”

I said, “Okay, so we’ll build a five-pronged approach to coaching; outreach, an academy, a dream ranch, a web portal, and a training/conference platform.”

God said, “Go on a Luke 10 journey.”

I said, “Okay, so we’ll go for 6 months in RVs. No, we’ll have to break it into smaller chunks. We’ll go into 40 day increments and it will be partly marketing, partly faith building, partly training, partly outreach, and partly coaching. Wow, that’s a lot of partly’s. Hummm…maybe we’ll have all the stops planned and camp. Or maybe we’ll have some of the stops planned and leave some for an Ask The Lord (ATL). Or maybe we should just get in the car and go?”

God said, “Write the stories I give you.”

I said, “I don’t know how. I don’t have time. I don’t know how to get them published. I don’t know how to edit. I don’t think I can do it.”

Do you see any patterns developing here? strong_woman

I was far too concerned with expected outcomes, and a little too unconcerned with the simplicity of obedience.

In this season of “RE”, God is realigning my expectations. I don’t have to have a programmed ministry with feasible methodology and processed sustainability. I don’t have to blog five times a week, every week, nor do I have to keep up with social media. I don’t need a projected plan one, three, and five years out. And my credentials don’t have to be newsworthy to be a powerhouse for the Kingdom of God.

I only need to unapologetically obey.

Not that those things I mentioned are bad. Nope. Not at all.

However, those things will get in the way if it is not what God is asking me to do.

And, that has been my story. I did want to be obedient, and for the most part, I have. However, if I were brutally honest, the other reason I’ve strived so hard is that I worried too much about what the world would think of my success or failure.

Ug….when God wants you to reevaluate your motives, it can get ugly!

Currently, I’m a single parent who works four small part-time jobs to try to make it financially. I have three beautiful children to love. I have incredible family and friends to do life with. I have a few dreamers to encourage. I have an awesome and mighty God to engage with and obey. And I’m trying to write the stories He gives me in the spaces in-between.

Right now, that is all I can manage and still be joyfully expectant and unapologetically obedient.

I pray each day for leading. I listen. I seek. Then I go about my day with a heart positioned for God’s interruption if He so pleases. And let me tell you, when God interrupts, He does it with great style and always with incredible results.

AHHHHHH…..Obedience, the new green…

If I Don’t

Posted on by

Teri

CAM00022I spent last weekend at a lovely cabin near a frosty lake with twelve incredible women. We talked, we laughed, we shed just a few tears, and we enjoyed Jesus together.

Can I just say, “Ahhhh…”

The retreats started as a seed of an idea in my head about thirteen years ago when I had this overwhelming ache in my heart for more of God. I knew how to read the Bible, and do church, and pray, and study, and do most of the things I should and avoid doing most of the things I shouldn’t…but I didn’t really know God.

I was doing the Christian thing, but I didn’t know Jesus.

You know what I mean?

So, I was reading about how Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness to pray. Everything in my soul cried out for that quiet time. But, I had absolutely no idea how to be quiet. Be still and know that I am God, right? Nope. Not a clue on how to do that.

So, the retreats stemmed from my own inability to search for more of Christ.

A little over eight years ago, I meekly asked a group of women to join me in this journey to find more of Christ. I suggested a retreat that would be a safe place to explore some of the old spiritual disciplines others had used to search the deep things of God. They agreed and we set off on the adventure. We fumbled, we stumbled, we said things we shouldn’t, we didn’t say the things we should, yet, God will be found.

Well over a dozen retreats later, the group has grown to twelve powerful women who know Jesus more intimately now than they did before.

Two thoughts struck me as I looked around the room and marveled at these women;

“We’ve found more of Christ and He wanted to be found.” 

And, “I can’t screw this up.”

God takes my feeble attempts and somehow turns them into something beautiful. He takes my mistakes and redeems them.

The only way to mess this up is if I don’t try.

My job is to keep pushing on, keeping getting up after I fall, keep apologizing and repenting of my weaknesses, and keep going.

I see such incredible fruit from such weak attempts. It gives me courage to try again.

And that speaks of the deep things of God…

Abundant life is not found in our perfection but in

our imperfection being perfected.

What will you try today?

“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”  Ephesians 3:20-21

Pressing Delete

Posted on by
Standard

Teri

CAM00022The last couple of years of my life have been a study in crazy, wacky, illogical things. I sold or gave away just about everything I owned. Moved to Georgia. Worked for basically nothing. Tried to build a new ministry from scratch with no budget and simply not enough talent, resources, or time.

Then I traipsed around the country, dragging my young daughter and a few other twenty-somethings with me. Going from city to city, church to church, house to house, to see what kind of Kingdom dreams God was stirring up.

Now, I’m back in Iowa, hold up in a tiny hamlet just outside of Des Moines, putting the finishing touches on a novel that’s been in the works for over a year.

And I did all this because I really believe with all my heart that God told me to do it.

My pocket book is a little lighter and I’m a tad more tired than I was before God yanked me from my comfort zone.

YET…

I’m more alive than I ever could have dreamed or imagined.

I’m gonna tell you true…I will take abundant life over a heavier pocket book any day.

One of the most precious gifts I’ve learned through this topsy-turvy life I’ve been living is the freedom in pressing delete. (Check out this post from the other day for the back story.)

I get the question all the time, “How do you know you can hear from God? How do you know he told you to do those things?”

The frank answer…I don’t know for sure.

I prayed…I fasted…I searched out Godly counsel…I listened…I surrendered…and then I obeyed the best as I could.

I guess I subscribe to the very simple belief that when I meet Jesus face to face, I’d rather have him say, “You trusted me just a little too much” than “Why didn’t you trust me more?”

Have I made mistakes? You bet I have!

Have I caused myself more pain than necessary? Oh yeah.

Will I keep believing you can hear from God? Yep.

Will I keep doing things that don’t make sense to the world? Absolutely! When God asks me to. (I don’t really want to go looking for the wacky things.)

Why?

Because, through the grace of God, I’ve been given a delete button. One that I can push after I mess up. All I have to do is repent and receive the forgiveness that is freely offered, press delete, and get back at it.

Does that mean I don’t continue to work out my salvation with fear and trembling? Are you kidding?!

The delete button is not our excuse to keep on sinning. I remember someone saying once, “God forbid!”

It’s my freedom.

Freedom to be flesh yet strive to operate from a spirit-filled place.

Too many dreams die because we fear messing them up. Far too many!

The delete button offers us the way to walk in freedom and power despite our weakness.

It was paid for by Christ’s blood. Purchased on our behalf, for our freedom and sanctification.

God doesn’t want our weaknesses to inhibit us from following his leading. He wants to show his glory through our weaknesses!

I am weak and imperfect. I stumble. I fall. I get up. I ask forgiveness, press delete, and press on.

I didn’t recognize the power of the delete button until I was pulled out of my well-oiled life of comfort and thrust into something decided uncomfortable.

Sometimes, God asks us to do crazy, wild, wacky things in order to show us what an incredibly awesome and beautiful God he is.

What do you need to press delete on today?

YEEEEEE HAAAAAAAW!

CAM00022I don’t do New Year’s resolutions. Haven’t for years. Instead, I pray a lot, seek a lot, ask a lot, and find out what God wants me to learn about in the next year. (You can hear from God, believe it or not. I think He actually likes being asked.)

The first year, God answered me with one simple, yet incredibly powerful word, “surrender”.  I heard that word for the next five years. Even wrote a book about it. I guess God will keep you in a lesson until you really, really learn it!

Last year, I heard the word, “courage”. (That’s kind of like hearing, “patience”…I wasn’t really keen on how I might get to learn that lesson.) Read about the year for courage here.

I used to believe that real courage was hoisting up your slingshot to go after a really big giant. Or girding up your weapon belt and heading to the front for one really big battle.

I found out this year that those things are true. But, it takes even more courage to face the small battles day after day after day. You have to have the heart of a lion to keep going even when you don’t feel like it, even when everything seems to be going against you, and even when you feel like you’ve been going forever and you aren’t making any headway.

I learned that big dreams are won by
persevering through a million small battles.

Some of those battles you win and some you don’t, but you keep going anyway. And that takes uncommon courage…

I’ve found five keys to this kind of courage:

1. Forgive me for stating the obvious, but…KEEP GOING. Get up and keep on keeping on. Do what you know to do. Do it even when it’s the last thing you want to do. I don’t care if you do it half-heartedly, just keep doing it. At some point, your heart will catch up.

** Just a little suggestion – Have people around who will believe in you even when you don’t and who aren’t afraid to kick you in the backside when you need it.

2. TRUST GOD. Pray, seek, ask, knock, and listen to the best of your ability. Then obey and trust. It will be difficult and probably will border on insanity occasionally. It will mostly likely go against all common sense and the desire of every molecule of your humanness, but it will be the greatest adventure you’ve ever had. Guaranteed.

** I believe how much we experience abundant life is in direct proportion with how passionately we pursue Christ. In the end, the dream is never more important than the One who gave us the dream. Pursue and trust with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. God is worth it.

3. CELEBRATE the adventure. Worship, jump, dance, scream “yeeehaaaaaw!” Or if you are a Doctor Who fan, “Geronimo!” Joy is an antidote for a lot of our ills. God is amazing and He loves to do amazing things. Don’t miss a one of ‘em!

4. And when you get it wrong, PRESS DELETE. Living as a Holy Spirit led follower of Jesus Christ is hard. You will make mistakes.You will hear incorrectly. You will not obey completely. Face it…you’ll screw up.

Yet, the greatest power in the universe is the Gospel of Grace. We live in the freedom that God has already forgiven us. So, repent and receive the forgiveness that’s already been paid for and then…press delete in your heart, mind, soul, and strength. Gone. Done. It is finished.

5. REPEAT for the rest of your life.

These five little steps will take everything you have and then some. Courage. This is what real courage looks like lived out.

Then, when the big battles come…and they will come…you will be ready.

Are you ready?

Shadows and Sunshine

The third stop on our tour brought us to Tampa, Florida, where we met with Ida Lopez, Project Director for World Relief Tampa.

Ms. Lopez and her team are devoted specifically to anti-trafficking efforts in the Tampa area.  World Relief has been at work in this area since 1980, and since 2006 has been targeting trafficking.  We were surprised at the gravity of the issue there and were pleased to hear that World Relief is a light of hope in the darkness.

THE PROBLEM

  • With 27 million people enslaved in the world today, 2.5 million of those live right here in the United States.
  • Florida is one of the top three destinations for trafficking in the United States.
  • Tampa is the number one destination for trafficking activity in the state of Florida.

A LIGHT OF HOPE
As these issues have recently come to light, a number of government agencies as well as NGOs have been working together to form a task force to help stop trafficking in Tampa.

One of World Relief’s main tasks is to be a first responder to trafficking raids.  They provide a source of support for the victims, beginning with basic care packages that are put together by local volunteers.

World Relief continues to act as an advocate for the victims, providing them with a wide range of services, from taking them to the laundromat to helping them navigate legal proceedings with the police and lawyers.

FUNDING THE WAY
A large portion of World Relief’s funding comes from grants via the Department of Justice and other sources.  They are required to raise about 25% of their funds, most of which come through in-kind donations from local service providers like doctors, dentists, and mental health professionals who donate their time and skills to serve these victims.

INVOLVING OTHERS
World Relief, along with professors from St. Petersburg College, offers training to many in the community to help others identify potential trafficking activity in local neighborhoods.  They even offer training for local police departments to better get involved in their communities.

MUCH TO BE DONE
While World Relief has been active in the Tampa area for quite some time, their staff remains small, and the need remains great.  They rely on volunteers to help with presentations, coordinating services for victims, and rallying local churches to come together and help with housing needs for the girls and preparation of care packages.

Rerouted – Day Three

Posted on by

Teri

Day three of the tour for Team Freedom. Already God has redirected their steps.

The plan was to go to West Palm Beach today and tomorrow. There weren’t many open doors for ministry opportunities in West Palm Beach. It was going to be one of those places where the team did a lot of praying to see where God would lead them. (We call it an, “Ask the Lord” day.)

Late last night, the team found out there a dear friend was flying in to Tampa this morning because of a family emergency. Well…did you know that Tampa is only about 3 hours away?

After praying together this morning, the team decided to head straight over to Tampa to be with their friend. On the way, they decided to make some calls to a few ministries there that are serving victims of the sex-trafficking industry. Guess what? Open doors for ministry.

They needed a place to stay. Guess what? Open doors for a host.

We spent weeks planning and organizing this trip. In a matter of hours, God redirected the team to a whole new route, new ministry opportunities, and the ability to comfort a friend in a time of need. Had it been even a couple of days in either direction, the team would not have been able to respond.

He DOES lead. He DOES supply. He DOES want to invite us into what He’s doing.

All he asks is that we listen and that we’re willing to be redirected.

Are you listening? And are you willing to be rerouted?

Keep watching this blog, Facebook, and Twitter(@KDdreamtour) for updates as the team makes a whirlwind trip in America to serve those who serve in the anti-sex trafficking ministries.

Being You

Posted on by

After walking the dream journey for awhile, you come to realize that the journey is much more about the dream giver than it is about the dream. Sarah just got back from London and a big dream. In her search for what’s next, she is finding Jesus and even more than that. She’s finding who she is in Jesus. And it is a beautiful thing…

Sarah

Here’s what gets me about the Israelites…

There they are, a couple days walk, from their Promised Land. Canaan, God’s promise, the land flowing with milk and honey! And they get it so wrong. They forget who they are- His chosen people. Because of their forgotten identity, they build golden calves, intermarry with foreign nations, let 8 cowardly spies convince them not to enter their Promise.

It’s so easy to forget who we are in the wilderness, but it’s also where we become the surest of who we are. Look at Jesus. The Holy Spirit takes Him out into the wilderness; He leads Him there. Then Satan gets all up in His business and challenges who He is. Notice that. Satan doesn’t question Jesus’ good motives or plans or dreams.

He questions who He is. “If you are the Son of God…” he sneers.

I am becoming less and less convinced that God cares about what we do, but much more about who we become.

Because if we really understood who we were, our very identity, the way the Creator of the Universe sees us, we would change the world.

When you know you’re a son, you can’t help but talk about your Father. When you know you’re a father to the fatherless, you’ll take care of the orphans. When you know you’re redeemed, you’ll go to marginalized women and offer grace. When you know you have a John the Baptist call on your life, you can’t not evangelize.

Your identity is what changes the world. It’s not being in Kenya or in my case, London. It’s not finding the perfect ministry position or top paying job to fund missions or even the perfect spouse. It’s not finding a community you can be weird in or a church that lets you dance. You being you will change wherever you are.

In Deuteronomy 7:6, Israel is told that “…you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.”

The world and those in it told them otherwise. And I have a feeling that at some point on your Kingdom Dream journey (if not already), you’re going to be told the same. But guess what? IT’S HOGWASH! Whoever and whatever God says you are is who you are.

You aren’t a bum, you aren’t a weakling, you aren’t a mistake or failure.

You are chosen, royal, powerful. You are beautiful, precious and world changing. You are a history maker and a nation shaper. Act accordingly.

God says I’m a worshipper, so I should be worshipping wherever I am. He says I’m a lioness so I protect my cubs regardless of where they are in the world. He says I’m a princess so I expect Him to make it rain when my bank account makes me doubt His faithfulness. He says He has a plan when I feel useless and am stuck watching the third episode of ‘The Mentalist’ in a row.

I can be me anywhere I am. You can be you anywhere you are. So go be you!

That’s where your power and the glory of God reside. Go be the fearless woman of God your middle of nowhere town needs. Go be the steadfast man of faith your family needs you to be. The bold evangelist to your college buddies. The free prophet to your conservative church. Be you! Because everyone else is taken. And because the world needs it.

The Heart of a Healer

Posted on by

I met Tiffany in Florida on the January Dream Tour (yeah…January in Florida…had it so rough.) She and her brother were gracious and generous hosts. She was just getting ready to embark on the next step of her dream journey by going to G42 in Spain. The time went by quickly and she’s back now gearing up for a brand new season in 2013. Here is a look at her dream journey so far.

Tiffany

When I was 19 years old, I chose Nutrition as my major in college. I knew that I wanted to help people. And I always knew it wouldn’t be in a hospital – that was never my ambition. I knew from the beginning that I wanted to work with women that needed help. My goal was to work in a Community Nutrition program that worked with low-income families (like WIC – Women, Infants & Children).

At that time, I didn’t have a relationship with God. But, He already knew me. He already planted the desire to work with women & children that needed some extra help.

For the next 10 years, I would finish my degree and begin working in Community Nutrition. I held several nutrition and health educator positions. I was able to help women and children in Illinois and Florida make healthy choices.

And then I met Jesus. And my dream got bigger.

I began taking my knowledge and experience around the world. I still want to help women and children with their physical health but, now, with their spiritual health too.My dream is for women to experience full inner healing – especially women that have abusive pasts.  I believe that women that are whole and know who they are will have a positive impact in their families.

In the past three years, God has done incredible inner healing in my life.  So, now that I’m on the other side, and have my own journey and stories to tell, I want to help other women experience it as well.

So far, this journey has brought me around the world on the World Race in 2011, to Spain for G42 Leadership Academy in 2012 and next year I plan to spend all of 2013 in the Dominican Republic.

Everywhere I go I have the knowledge to help people feel better physically and the experience and the Holy Spirit to help people feel better spiritually and emotionally.

God takes our little dreams, waters them and they bloom into something bigger than we ever thought.

Tiffany has a healer’s heart and God is using all of who she is to help heal others. Please pray for Tiffany’s journey. Go to her blog, to follow her journey.

The Best Part of the Job

Posted on by
Standard

Teri

Although I’ve not been out on the road a lot this summer, there have still been many divine encounters. These are brief conversations that are just at the right place at the right time that sparks something in someone.

There was that guy in the gas station in Georgia who needed to know that he was doing all he could in his current situation and that God was pleased. He was tearing himself up with self-doubt.

There was a beautiful lady, Laura, at the lake in Minnesota who needed confirmation that her passion to love on others was truly God-given. And she needed just a little nudge to dream big.

There was the young man at the hamburger joint who was struggling with direction for his life. He needed to be reminded that God indeed has a direction and that he only needs to get his feet moving and then let God steer his path.

I spoke at a tiny church yesterday. Tiny in size only, but big on loving Jesus. I had the honor of talking with several people who’s hearts belong to God. I got an extended, delightful chat with Teresa. She only needed a reminder that God is not looking for her performance or perfection, just her heart – and he already has that. She needed permission to not be afraid of doing it “wrong”.

Teresa, an insightful woman, said something that has been ruminating in my heart. She asked, “So, you just travel all around doing these divine appointments?”

Huh. Yeah. I do.

I wear many hats; I’m a mom, a coach, a writer, and a teacher. I want to see the Body of Believers ignited in their dream journey with Christ.

The best part of the job (other than being a mom to Steven, Leah, and Lily) are those impromptu meetings that happen when I keep my eyes and ears peeled for what God is doing around me.

Wake up each morning and say, “Lord, these are my plans for the day. Feel free to interrupt me at any time. I want to be involved in your plans for my day.”

Then, just look around as you go about the routine. Pray throughout the day. Keep your heart open for that stirring that says, “Go talk to this person.” It doesn’t happen everyday, but when it does, it’s a grand adventure.

It is really that simple. Be interruptable. Give God permission to sidetrack you from your daily routine. People need what God has put in you to give. They need love, joy, peace, encouragement, hope, comfort, and to hear about Jesus. They need what you have.

Are you interruptable?
