A Moment With Ashley

Fasting

Well, I thought that fasting would be an appropriate topic since almost everyone participates in lent no matter your denomination. I think the explanation of fasting isn't given enough to the church body. For awhile I struggled with the point of fasting. IHOP says we're mourning for the return of our bridegroom. Yes, that is great but it doesn't motivate me to fast. So in this email I hope to encourage each of you and challenge you along the path of a fasted lifestyle.

Matthew 9:15 "Jesus answered, 'How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is with them? The time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, then they will fast." Fasting is our way of mourning for His return. In movies after a couple breaks up they'll say, "I can't eat...I can't sleep." This is what I think of when I read this verse, our longing for Him is so strong that we can't eat...and we can't sleep. The truth is we don't fast because we don't really miss Him. We're ok with the life we're in right now, because we don't know how great it is going to be in the age to come. So we can eat and we can sleep. If we push ourselves into a life of fasting it starts to cultivate in us a longing for His return. As a result of your fasting you'll begin to desire His return. John Piper (I'm pretty sure) said, "The absence of fasting is the measure of our contentment with the absence of Christ."

My main motivation for fasting is how it tenderizes my spirit. I encourage everyone to fast 2 days instead of just one, because the first day is just your body detoxing and it's miserable. But when you get to that second day your spirit is so tender. You may have a growl in your stomach, but it's worth it because when you open up the Bible it's like the lights come on. You begin to receive revelation on verses that before have not made any sense to you. God's love becomes something that touches your heart, not just something that you know. Fasting is our voluntary weakness. "For when I am weak, then I am strong" (2 Corinthians 12:10). It's out of our weakness that we are made strong, because we see that we really can't do it on our own. We fully lean upon God and we allow His strength to be made perfect in our weakness.

The last reason I'm going to give as an encouragement to fast is very important. We have been taking a class on the book of Daniel. While studying Daniel we noticed that food was the first thing he took a stand against. They changed his name, taught him about their gods, taught him astrology and other things, but he took a stand against food. Why? Because Daniel didn't want to get sucked in by the spirit of this age. He wanted his inner-man to be alert. He knew that eating the delicacies of the kingdom would make his spirit grow dull. He also knew that they did not follow the same rituals that they were supposed to follow before eating meat and other foods. So Daniel took a stand and refused to be defiled by their food. We don't realize how much of a hold food has on our lives. We constantly think about food...what are we going to eat? How much is it going to cost? How fast can I make it? How hungry am I? Food food food it's what fuels our society.

What are you going to do when the antichrist comes into power and takes away all of the food? Are you going to be able to get the hook out of your stomach and take a stand and say, "NO, I will not take the mark...I would rather starve!" Your children are starving and they haven't eaten in days, and all you have to do is go get a mark so that your children can have food. What will you do? This is the reality that we have to look at. I don't think that this is an over exaggeration at all. This will be a reality if not for you, then for your children. Food is one of the biggest temptations we face today, and it will be the deciding factor for many people when the antichrist comes into power. When Jesus was tempted by Satan during His 40 day fast, the first thing satan tempted Him with was food. He tempted Jesus with food before he tempted Him with power. Why? Because even Satan knows the hold that food has on our lives. So we have to stop it now and make it our goal not to make food a god in our lives. We live for God, we don't live to eat.

God Bless

When you least expect it....

Expectation is a word that's been in my vocabulary for quite a while now. My first year in ministry the Lord showed me, "Your hunger determines the depth of your Visitation" (which would go on to be the theme of my 5 years of ministry in RHUMC). How deep your hunger for the Lord/how great your expectation of Him--determines how deep your Visitation from Him will be.

I try to daily walk in expectation of Him. Believing that He wants to show me something, speak something to me, use me to minister His Kingdom to His people. The key word there is try. I am still human and fail and fall into going through the motions. I go to church on Sunday mornings because that's what we do. Well three times here lately I've gone to church on a Sunday morning and admittedly not walked in expectation. Or maybe I was and just not acknowledging it, but either way, God caught me off guard. Not once, not twice, but three times. Three times I want to share with you in a span over the next three blogs I'll be writing because according to my husband one would be just way too long!

The first time happened about a month ago. It was one of the Sundays that the baptismal pool was rolled out at RiverStone (apparently it happens a few times a year). I knew the baptismal pool would be out. Being on staff, this was something we discussed at staff meeting, but the depth of what that meant did not sink into my thick skull. So there I was, at worship and the opportunity for baptism was presented. Then as people of all ages came forward, professing their need for Jesus, the worship team led us in Amazing Grace/My Chains are Gone and out of nowhere I started balling. Not just balling politely, but the "UGLY" cry. You know what I mean??? As we sang this song, I could not move. Was I suppose to be upstairs in the Student Ministry by now? yes. Were there a bunch of Middle Schoolers upstairs waiting to have their worship service started? yes. Knowing this could I move? no. I just sat there like a baby and wept. Understanding the magnitude of what Jesus did for me and remembering what the Lord delivered me out of and remembering my own baptism was almost too much for this 4'10" girl to handle on that morning.

I finally somewhat pulled myself together to walk upstairs and my dear husband looked at me and said, "what happened? you okay?" All I could muster out was, I have no idea what just happened.

I made it upstairs and saw our current church planting pastor. He asked me if I was okay. I told him that the song Amazing Grace did me in. I proceeded to jokingly tell him that it's been 8 years since I've come to know the Lord, I shouldn't be crying anymore when I hear songs like Amazing Grace. He then looked me straight in the eye and said, "Kristin, we should never be in a place that we don't cry over or get moved by what He has done for us."

Those words pierced my heart that day. They are words that I have pondered over ever since then and how real and true they are. I am now okay having that ugly cry in front of people I just met 6 months ago if it means sitting in the revelation of what He has done for me. At the age of 21 He radically changed my life. I was lost as lost could get. I had no revelation of who He was or how much He loved me. Until one day, 2 months before turning 22, I radically encountered Him. He became real. The reality that He loved me in spite of my sin is still to this day too much to handle. May you enjoy His Amazing Grace today.

"Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)"

Amazing grace

How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost, but now I'm found

Was blind, but now I see

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear

And grace my fears relieved

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed

My chains are gone

I've been set free

My God, my Savior has ransomed me

And like a flood His mercy rains

Unending love, Amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me

His word my hope secures

He will my shield and portion be

As long as life endures

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow

The sun forbear to shine

But God, Who called me here below

Will be forever mine

You are forever mine

A moment with Ashley

Love?

"In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. And the Lord delivered Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand" (Daniel 1:1-2). We were looking at this verse in my Daniel class and we took a moment to really focus on the part where it says, "And the Lord delivered Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand." What does this mean? The Lord gave His chosen people over into the hands of their enemies? How can this be an expression of love?

God gives us over into the hands of our enemies as a way of waking us up. We get a taste of what it's like to be without God. The problem is that we forget God is still in control. He has control over our enemies and He knows what needs to be done for us to turn wholeheartedly back to Him. We know that we're supposed to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, but we forget that He loves us with EVERYTHING in Him. He isn't just asking us to love us in an extravagant way, but He is asking us to love Him in the same way that He loves us. This is good news for us! He loves us so extravagantly that He will go to all lengths in order to win us over in love. Imagine you have a friend who is addicted to drugs. Are you going to just let them go on living their life as you sit by and watch them slowly kill themselves? No, you're going to tie them down to the cot and even though they scream, and curse, and say they hate you you won't let them up. Why? Because you love them and you see the value of their life even when they don't. The same is true for us. We may not be doing drugs, but sin can be more addictive than any drug. God is doing for us what at the times seems terrible, but it's out of His love because He sees the value of our life even when we don't.

We serve a holy God and He deserves a holy bride. We wouldn't expect a man to give his wife to another man, but we expect God to allow us to go and be with other lovers. God is jealous for us not just because He wants all of us, but because He sees that NONE of the other lovers care for us....at all! He is the only one that truly cares for us, loves us, and values our lives. If it means giving us over into the hands of our enemies in order to win us back over in love then that is what He'll do.

It's out of His great mercy that He gives us over into the hands of our enemies. I feel like many of us have looked at His mercy in the wrong light. We look at it as His judgement instead of His mercy. So I'm praying that the Lord will reveal that situation to you in a way....that you will no longer look at it as His judgement but rather His mercy because He so desires you.

God Bless

The Pursuit of God

The preface for The Pursuit of God by AW Tozer was read to me on two different occasions yesterday. I can be pretty hard headed at times (you can hold your comments on that remark! :) but when something is read to me not once, but twice, it does get through my hard skull that maybe God is trying to tell me something.

So, having heard it twice, I decided to look online and lo and behold I found the whole book online for free. Right now I just printed out the preface, because it's deep enough in itself.

Once I digest it, I'll go back and print out the rest. But for now I thought I would share with you what the Lord is sharing with me. Let's have a conversation. You read the preface too while I'm still stumbling over it for about the 5th time now, then we'll converse. I've posted it below, but also included the link in case you want the whole thing. Please post comments and let's talk!

Enjoy Him tonight my friends, beloveds of the King.

The Pursuit of God by AW Tozer

Preface

In this hour of all-but-universal darkness one cheering gleam appears: within the fold of conservative Christianity there are to be found increasing numbers of persons whose religious lives are marked by a growing hunger after God Himself. They are eager for spiritual realities and will not be put off with words, nor will they be content with correct `interpretations' of truth. They are athirst for God, and they will not be satisfied till they have drunk deep at the Fountain of Living Water. This is the only real harbinger of revival which I have been able to detect anywhere on the religious horizon. It may be the cloud the size of a man's hand for which a few saints here and there have been looking. It can result in a resurrection of life for many souls and a recapture of that radiant wonder which should accompany faith in Christ, that wonder which has all but fled the Church of God in our day. But this hunger must be recognized by our religious leaders.

Current evangelicalism has (to change the figure) laid the altar and divided the sacrifice into parts, but now seems satisfied to count the stones and rearrange the pieces with never a care that there is not a sign of fire upon the top of lofty Carmel. [See 1 Kings 18 for the allusions.-ccp] But God be thanked that there are a few who care. They are those who, while they love the altar and delight in the sacrifice, are yet unable to reconcile themselves to the continued absence of fire. They desire God above all. They are athirst to taste for themselves the `piercing sweetness' of the love of Christ about Whom all the holy prophets did write and the psalmists did sing.

There is today no lack of Bible teachers to set forth correctly the principles of the doctrines of Christ, but too many of these seem satisfied to teach the fundamentals of the faith year after year, strangely unaware that there is in their ministry no manifest Presence, nor anything unusual in their personal lives. They minister constantly to believers who feel within their breasts a longing which their teaching simply does not satisfy. I trust I speak in charity, but the lack in our pulpits is real. Milton's terrible sentence applies to our day as accurately as it did to his: `The hungry sheep look up, and are not fed.'

It is a solemn thing, and no small scandal in the Kingdom, to see God's children starving while actually seated at the Father's table. The truth of Wesley's words is established before our eyes: `Orthodoxy, or right opinion, is, at best, a very slender part of religion. Though right tempers cannot subsist without right opinions,yet right opinions may subsist without right tempers. There may be a right opinion of God without either love or one right temper toward Him. Satan is proof of this.'

Thanks to our splendid Bible societies and to other effective agencies for the dissemination of the Word, there are today many millions of people who hold `right opinions,' probably more than ever before in the history of the Church.Yet I wonder if there was ever a time when true spiritual worship was ever a time when true spiritual worship was at a lower ebb. To great sections of the Church the art of worship has been lost entirely, and in its place has come that strange and foreign thing called the `program.' This word has been borrowed from the stage and applied with sad wisdom to the type of public service which now passes for worship among us.

Sound Bible exposition is an imperative must in the Church of the living God. Without it no church can be a New Testament church in any strict meaning of that term. But exposition may be carried on in such way as to leave the hearers devoid of any true spiritual nourishment whatever. For it is not mere words that nourish the soul, but God Himself, and unless and until the hearers find God in personal experience, they are not the better for having heard the truth. The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His Presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core and center of their hearts.

This book is a modest attempt to aid God's hungry children so to find Him. Nothing here is new except in the sense that it is a discovery which my own heart has made of spiritual realities most delightful and wonderful to me. Others before me have gone much farther into these holy mysteries than I have done, but if my fire is not large it is yet real, and there may be those who can light their candle at its flame.

Ode to Mother

Today marks the BIG 5-0 for my dear mother. I thought I'd take a moment and say a few things about her.

Where would I be without my dear ole Mother?
- First off... There'd be no me, and that would be an incredible injustice to this world. So, thanks mom for blessing this world with, well... ME.
- Without my mum, I would have slept in every Monday morning during summer vacation. But instead, I was awakened by the sounds of the piano being hammered by her piano students, who were mostly less than golden maestros. How pleasant it was to be reminded that my mother was indeed a patient and caring soul.
- Without you, dearest mommy, I would have succumbed to the wrath of my father on several occasions (more so than I did). She would hide report cards from the old man to spare me much weeping and gnashing of teeth... except for that one time when she threw my report card back at me and screamed "THIS IS WHAT CHILD ABUSE COMES FROM!!!" Thanks...
- There were those times when we children were awakened between 5am-6am, because dear mother was baking cakes... She often made noise while doing this. I'm sure it wasn't from bitterness or spite, but instead the goodness of her heart.

You see, she has given her life to a few things in great ways. There were countless Sunday mornings I woke up to the sound of my mom practicing the piano before church. Almost every morning I came crawling out of bed for school, and she had already been up praying for me and my siblings. The whole reason my mom was up making cakes and teaching piano students was to give me a Christmas. Without the piano and holiday cake baking there was not much of a Christmas.

Family, Church, and God are the few things she has given her whole life for. Every ounce has been poured into those three things. I could not have asked for a better mother. SO... I hope you have a Happy Birthday (you old fart).

Saturdays with Ashley

I love you

I love you. These three words are used so often in our culture. We say I love you to people we met a week ago, or to family member we’ve never even met. We love people, we love our pets, we love food….the list goes on. So what does this word love mean? We throw the word around all the time, but do we have any idea what it means? The dictionary says 1. An intense feeling of tender affection and compassion 2. A passionate feeling of romantic desire and sexual attraction 3. A romantic affair 4. Strong liking for or pleasure gained from something. So this is our definition of love. We feel tenderly about someone, or we’re sexually attracted to them, a romantic affair, or we love them because we gain something from the relationship. Wow so that’s love. It sickens me that this is what the world has made of such a beautiful word.

We are so blinded by the world’s view of love that we can’t understand God’s love. The pastor will get up on Sunday and say God loves you, and immediately we go, “yeah I know He has an intense feeling of tender affection and compassion.” So basically He loves me because He feels sorry for me, or we look at it and say it’s his job to love me. We can talk and sing about His love all day without it ever affecting our emotions. If we really knew and really believed that He loves us we wouldn’t be able to stand it. We wouldn’t be able to talk or sing of His love without being overwhelmed with emotion. When is the last time that you where overwhelmed with how much God loves you? When is the last time you sat and just wept because He loves you?

“For love is as strong as death its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away” (Song of Songs 7:6-7). That’s a better definition of love. Love that is stronger than death…everyone dies at some point, but we are loved with a love that is stronger than death. It burns like a fire; have you ever seen a really big fire? Not only is it huge and overwhelming, but it spreads until there is nothing else left for it to burn. His love is consuming all of our being nothing can stop this love. No matter what you do…many waters cannot quench this love. He has loved you the same, and He will always love you the same. “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). He has loved us before we even knew to love Him, He has loved us even when He was getting nothing from us. He doesn’t need us, but He chooses to love us.

This is love. God is love. When we are able to lay hold of this reality that God the God of the Universe loves us. He doesn’t love me because He needs me, He doesn’t love me because He can gain something from our relationship, He’s definitely not sexually attracted to me, He doesn’t love me because He has to, He doesn’t love me because He feels sorry for me. So why does He love us? I don’t know. All I know is that He loves us so….oh how He love us. He doesn’t have to, but He does and we may never know why. So God loves us….what are we supposed to do now? Go deeper into His love find out more and more there is so to find out about His love for us; this is barely even scratching the surface.

Our goal is to love God with the same love that He loves us. When we get a new revelation of His love it enables us to love Him back with that same amount of love. This week ask Him to teach you how to love Him. Go through the scriptures and underline every time it talks about His love for you…trust me you’ll be overwhelmed.

Just a heads up I will not be sending out an email next week I'll be in annapolis visiting my sister :).

God Bless

January

January. January--oh where did you go? Is it really February already?

2009 started out at 12:30am-Central time--loading up a charter bus full of high schoolers onto the bus and driving through the night from Kansas City back to the big ATL. One Thing was absolutely incredible. The Lord stirred somethings up in my heart that was greatly needed.

I also got to visit with some of my amazing friends--so good for my heart to see them!!!

Upon arrival home, I rejoined my hubby and new puppy--who had had kinda a rough week without me, but it was nice to come home and have some down time!

While I was in KC, the Lord told me to not travel in January. Oh, that was a hard one to receive, but we did it. Honestly, it was really hard at times. I was really missing home, since we hadn't been there since Thanksgiving meaning we didn't make it home at all over Christmas. This was really hard for my heart, so another month of not being able to go was hard. But the Lord allowed us to fellowship with people here--and home visited me on several occasions!!!

Here are some pics of our January--no traveling month!

First day back I went and had lunch with some dear friends of mine from college--one I hadn't seen in a few days, one a year and two a few years!!

Left to right:

Dana, Sarah, Anna, Leigh & I

My sister, Jocelyn (aka munchkin) and her husband Brett, came up for her birthday.

We enjoyed seeing the sites of ATL together!

Then the next weekend it was time for a Crappiott Reunion--plus the boys! I got to see my precious godson, River!!!

The Lord has used these women of God mightily in my life!

Somehow this is the only picture we got of River:

My parents also got to come up and spend a weekend with us, which was a lot of fun...and cold! We had snow flurries while they were here!!!

They got to meet their grandpuppy for the first time:

Going for a walk in the cold!

Maddie and granddaddy's leg:

While mom and dad were here, we visited with my cousins in Woodstock and got to try out the Wii :)

Also during that weekend, Ms. Julie and McMom came and had lunch with us--but somehow we forgot to take a picture of that!!!

January held Maddie's first play dates. She didn't do to well on the first one, but was full throttle for the second one:

Daddy save me (if you look closely, you can see her under Roberts feet):

Playdate number 2...much better:

To finish out the great month of no travel January we had some great fellowship with the girls of RiverStone.

Kimmy made homecoming court, so we went to see her and cheer her on---yes, those are popsicle sticks with her head on them :)

Fun times at our apartment:

Did we mention it's been really cold here lately (notice--Abigail the cat in the far left corner--yes, she now has a balancing act she performs on a baby/puppy gate)?

Well that was our January. As you can see...

Our no travel January tuckered our little girl out!!!! :) Thank you to all that made our month in staying put in our new home so wonderful!!!

I also started the bible study, Esther by Beth Moore in January. We had over 170 women sign up for this bible study at RiverStone. Holy Shamolies--that's a lot of Esther=Estrogen as Beth Moore states! I've also been pondering the question one of our associate pastors asked me in the beginning of January..."Has God given you a vision for 2009?" I'll get back to this question in a little bit, but for now...that's our January! Thanks for sharing life with us!

A moment with Ashley

I haven't been good at getting these posted on Saturdays lately--even though Ashley has been amazing and has been faithful to her Saturdays, so please forgive me and enjoy a moment with Ashley--this week on Tuesday! :)

SOUP

About two weeks ago a chinese lady moved into our house. She's about 45 years old and is doing the Commission at IHOP, so she'll be living with us for three months. She's such a wise lady, and I've enjoyed her living at our house....except for one thing. She feels the need to cook for us every night. Now I know most of you are going, "aww that's so nice of her to cook for ya'll." That's what I thought at first too, but you try having soup every night and then see how nice you think it is. I've tried telling her I would make my own dinner, and I've even come home early before she came back to make my own dinner. Only to have her bring me a bowl of soup to eat with my dinner, and then when I didn't eat it she ran after me to make sure I ate the soup before I left again that night. In case you didn't know you're supposed to have at least one hot soup a day during the winter....I wasn't aware of this rule. I will admit that on some nights I have eaten some and the garbage disposal ate the rest, now don't be mad at me I have a very low tolerance for spicy food. I just can't handle it, so when it hits my mouth....I'm done. The Lord convicted me and reminded me that this lady is just trying to do what she thinks is best, and she's spending her own money to make me food. I don't know how rich or poor she is, but she's taking the money that she has and buying food to make us soup every night.

I've been thinking about this and God said to me, "It cost me too." I was thinking about this and it hit me. What was the cost? What was the cost for Him to send His son? We so often take Jesus coming to earth for granted and we look at it as something that had to be done. Yes it did have to be done for our salvation, but no God didn't have to do it. Isaiah 59:16 says, "so his own arm worked salvation for Him." That verse is appalling to me, His own arm. Not only did He allow His son to come to the earth, but He also killed him. God knew what was going to have to happen, and He knew that He was going to have to kill His own son. What did it cost Jesus to make himself a little bit lower than the angels (Hebrews 2:9). For him to humble himself to come to earth and then die a lowly death on a cross.

The problem is we look at this as I look at that soup. At first we are so grateful that we're being given this soup. Then after awhile we go to church and they're preaching about the cross and we sigh and say....not soup again! We've forgotten the cost, we've forgotten the depth of what really happened. We've forgotten how important the cross is in our lives. We underestimate it's values, and sometimes we take some of it and throw the rest away. There's more I could say, but I'm going to leave it at this. I encourage each of you to take time this week and look at the cross, meditate on what it really means. Look at the cost. What was given up? If I tell you it won't pierce your heart as much as it would if you find it out for yourself. So here's a head start...you take it from here.

God Bless
