CRI Training Big Bear California

This is me with my brand new hand held radio.



This is a picture of the Incident Command Post (ICP) were Crisis Response International's radio command is located. I worked the majority of my time in the ICP.

CRI Training Big Bear California

So I just returned from helping to run training in Big Bear California for Crisis Response International. I helped to run the communications, so really I got to use really cool expensive Amateur Radio Equipment. It was such a joy to re-connect with old friends and meet many new friends.
One thing that I loved that was integrated into the training this time was morning exercises! Amazing!

Wait on the Lord!

Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, wait I say, on the Lord. Psalms 27:4

About a year ago a door closed. Since than I have learned that we must function and press in even while we are waiting. When the door closed I realized that I was very indecisive and I was having a hard time making decisions without feedback or confirmation.

The root of this indecisiveness in making decisions is fear of man and not knowing or believing who I am in Christ. Another root of this indecisiveness is lies that have been spoken over me by people in authority, sub-consciously these lies have kept me from moving into my destiny with freedom and confidence.

The Lord's desire is for me to free to follow my desires and pursue the dreams that he has given me; for me to have freedom to be who He created me. He is equipped me to make decisions and regardless of the outcome loves me and will support me all the same.
During this year while I have been waiting and going on with life and praying for breakthrough I am learning to bring my heart and emotions in line with Jesus heart and emotions. I am learning to take command of my emotions. We say often that we renew our minds by the reading of the word, I believe we renew our emotions by dialog with Jesus and meditating on the word.

The Lord told me to read Psalms 27. This used to be a very familiar passage to me. I had it memorized at one point, and the Lord told me this was my life passage.
I read the Psalm and verse 14 struck me like never before.
When my heart is dismayed and I feel weakened, Wait on the Lord. I love how NKJ says 'and He shall strengthen your heart.' Lord right now I ask you to come and strengthen my heart and help my heart to come into alignment with the Truth.
