Welcome to Gold Poured Out!
What is this love lavished on us! I feel Papa God is taking me on a journey of NOT UNDERSTANDING His love towards me anymore. I've been recently reminded of the day I was sitting in a chair at our school's retreat over two years ago as an older student began to declare God's love over me. I undervalued her words in my heart in that moment, thinking: "I know this already... Tell me something new." (Ouch!) Yet a bit after that, the Father's LOVE bypassed my reasoning, hit my heart and I bursted out laughing. WHAT IS THIS LOVE? We were created to experience the Father's love with every fibre of our being. Theology is not just for the mind — has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world (1 Cor 1:20)? Theology is also for the heart to feel, experience and live out. I hear deep within me how the Father is asking me to embrace the mystery of His relentless affection, Christ' resurrection and the gift of adoption. May this blog be all about awe and wonder in everyday life. I want to celebrate beauty, have fun in cooking & wonder in discovering the depths of God! |
No half-heartedness and no worldly fear must turn us aside
from following the Light unflinchingly. J.R.R. Tolkien
I believe that God is good, all the time! I believe Jesus invites us into a life of wholeness and freedom: to be found and securely rooted in Him. I believe that true justice means forgiveness and reconciliation. I believe God created us to live like Jesus did — in an intimate relationship to the Father God and the Holy Spirit, filled with his power and authority to destroy the works of the devil and establish His Kingdom on the earth! |

Name: Heidi Studies: Internship year at Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry, finishing my Bethel Coach certificate, BA in educational sciences Faith: ALWAYS PLEASES GOD! We were called to be childlike! Love: Never fails! You can never go wrong with loving people. Love calls out the gold in people (what God created them to be!) Love creates healthy boundaries and establishes our identity as beloved sons of God. Freedom: The best invitation I've ever received. I'm learning to run at any fear that comes up in my life because I know that on the other side there is FREEDOM. Work: I don't see a separation between "holy and secular". Everything we do is unto the Lord!! We were created for good works, indeed! Yummy: I love almond butter, strawberries and banana slices on my bread with lime on top. That's a real treat to me, ha! I love loose leaf (black flavored) tea. Raw cakes, yes please! |
I believe in family and local church community. I believe we are called to reach the ends of the earth with the GOOD NEWS of Christ resurrection! (Yeah, world wide influence and ministry!) |
Millainen aarre kestäisi ajan ja inflaation? Minne keräisin koko omaisuuteni? Halusin tehdä blogin, joka voisi kiinnittää katseeni taivaallisiin rikkauksiin.
