So I am not going to lie my last blog writing was inspiring to me. I couldn't believe how much I had enjoyed writing and missed it. So here I am to write again. It is truly a gift to write. I love sharing and I feel like this is one way I can have a little conversation (sort of one sided obviously unless you email me about it later.) that we are having and I can let you in and you can know what is going on.
I am into the forth week of the school the 18 Inch Journey here in Sophia, NC and am in Awe. I mean I knew it was amazing but being around for it as a second time my heart is dreaming again. Watching 32 people get transformed by the love of God I mean WOW!! Its like I am seeing life in full color view and watching others see it in full color to. I can see the beauty of what is possible in of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The beauty of it all is that there is no end to God. About six years ago before I left for YWAM or did much ministry, I remember thinking I have sat under so many people, heard so many messages I must know everything there is to know. Prideful, however honest and I was 19 at the time. I was determined to find God, complete my destiny(or at least get it started), do all the amazing things I thought I was suppose to do so God would love me more. So my quest began. It began by living in North Carolina and being with awesome people and learning about God there, and then into YWAM and the mission field traveling the world and learning about God there. Then being with my family and learning about God there. Now I find myself in North Carolina again and learning about God here. There is no end to God and no matter what I do He loves me fully and always loved just me. I have realized that youth is a period of growth. That Jesus had it too. He sat, he learned, He worked. He did everything. His thirty years of life before ministry were him learning about the father and fleshing out what he believed and knew to be true about the father and growing in knowing that the father loved him before he did anything else. I have realized that I have not come to my end of knowing God and will never come to an end.
I love being apart of this school so much and these last five months have transformed me. I have come to this place and have realized more then just learning about God I need him. He has the way to every lasting life and knowing him and needing him never has stopped at salvation. He wants to be there every day of my life to show me, to help me and to teach me. He wants to transform me by love and so that I can love. So that I can see people the way he does. I often thought that I should just know these things and know how to do it but how can I if I never talked to God and listen to Him. If I never talked with him, I would just be doing works upon works trying to figure it all out on my own. That isn't a present Father God that is a distant god who doesn't love. There is a neediness for God and it is a great thing. I have a need and its great cause its JESUS! Even now I am still letting this just sink in to my heart. We all do and that is the awesome thing. He didn't just create us then to just let us be he created us to have relationship with and then with relationship with each other. Its quite a beautiful picture that God didn't want to be alone and then he created us to not be alone. He created us to need him and need eachother. I LOVE IT!
I love sharing and thanks for reading. As I sat down to write I realized that I am still facing a need, one that is of financial needs. I am still need to raise about $500 for over then next two months for a plane ticket to hopefully two beautiful weddings one in Alaska and one in Boston and also to cover my expenses over the next few months. I am asking for peoples loving support in getting there. I believe in what I am doing and have felt the loving support of the father, and my family, and friends to step out of working a 9-5 job and living and serving here at A Place for the Heart in this season. If you would like to help me reach this goal you can email me at katelandhity@gamil.com or you can go to PayPal www.paypal.com and type in my email address and give the amount there you would like. Thank you so much i am always humbled by people and how they give to me and support me in this time. Your prayers so valuable to me and I am thankful for all who have covered me over the years. It has been such a beautiful blessing to be apart of living life with so many different people.
Loves to everyone,
Kateland Louise Hilty
