Psalm 45 Chronicles



Swaying to the Movement of His Fragrance 






John 3:8 "The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” 

I never expected to move to Pennsylvania. I don't recall knowing where Pennsylvania was on a US map. I prayed earnestly about going on this trip before jumping in the van that I'd spent so much time praying/crying/sweating and travailing in last year. I hadn't seen the Jesus van since Amanda Bell had left for California almost an exact year ago in it. And here Amanda was again in Kansas City with the Jesus van and  her new fiancé, Dustin Bell talking to me about making it on time to their own wedding. As of that point was I homeless. It seemed to be the best option at the time. My only option really. Nothing was clear to me. I felt as if  I were being pushed out of Missouri. Away from the foundation that I'd spent so much time building. Away from my family and friends. I had no clue where I'd land. Remember, at the point, I was homeless. The money for rent in October hadn't come in. I knew it wasn't going to. The Lord had been preparing me heart to not be offended Him by pressing me on all sides.


The transition to where I am now was quite peaceful really. As I stated earlier on, I never expected to move to Pennsylvania. I jumped in the van on my way to a wedding in North Carolina.We were running out of time. We needed to be there by the 4th and it was now the 2nd. We picked up Steve May and off we went. Visiting KelLee Warren in Pennsylvania was a very last minute decision. Yeah, she meant a lot me and I hadn't seen her since July. Why not??

I spent two weeks with her in Pennsylvania and then it became evident what the Lord wanted from me. Before I left in the van, I'd bought a ticket back to my life. Back to normality. Business as usual for me. The busyness of a packed schedule and no sleep. The stress of not having time at all. The weightiness of living and not being able to provide for myself. What the Lord wanted me to do was help a small youth group 2,000 miles from all that was me. IN THE BOONIES!!  WHAT JESUS?! WHY LEWISBERRY, PA?! THEY HAVE HORSES AS PETS HERE!! AND THEY RIDE THEM AS A MEANS OF FORE FILLING A NEED FOR ENTRAINMENT!!

So here I am. PENNSYLVANIA!! Loving my life. Riding horses as a means of fore filling desire of entertainment!! Pouring into this youth group as a leader and being closer to KelLee has brought more joy than I can imagine. I am swaying to the movement of His fragrance. Allowing my life to be poured out as a drink offering at His feet. I've done more traveling in a month than I've done in my entire life but everywhere His fragrance leads, I am compelled to follow. To me its not a command. Its a means of living.


Matt 4:4-"But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’"
