l a m e n t | We are called to be bold
https://elliegtakens.wordpress.com/2015/04/07/714
We are called to be bold. Youth With A Mission. So how do you return. Before you knew the worlds sorrow. Before your heart broke into two. How do you relate to a world that seems so unfamiliar. How do you plant flowers where there is sorrow. And where the gravestone is how do you wipe your tears and walk away as if it is not a part of you. We used to think grief was maybe a season. But now believe it to be a lifetime. We can say this with a deeper joy. Because blessed are they who grieve. But rather a li...

Wreck us with Your love | We are called to be bold
https://elliegtakens.wordpress.com/2015/03/08/wreck-us-with-your-love
We are called to be bold. Youth With A Mission. Wreck us with Your love. Timothy Keller ask the question:. 8220;Do you love to get love or do you love because you are truly and infinitely loved? 8220;If you love anything in this world more than God, you will crush that object under the weight of your expectations.”. It is truly a bottomless pit. Often, loving is scary. We won’t ever be perfect, we will never love perfectly here on this earth. We will fail. Time and time again. But we ca...8220;Whoever sa...

Like drops of healing rain | We are called to be bold
https://elliegtakens.wordpress.com/2015/06/17/like-drops-of-healing-rain
We are called to be bold. Youth With A Mission. Like drops of healing rain. I was praying about what I should write about tonight, and what I got was tears. My tears were my souls confession, that I so need Him. I can not do this life without Him, and every new day, I need His strength. Oh, how easily we forget sometimes just how much we need His new mercies every morning. We have this hope… This unfailing hope that we are so desperate for and dead without and it is in Christ alone. June 17, 2015.

When the rain doesn’t come | We are called to be bold
https://elliegtakens.wordpress.com/2014/06/02/405/comment-page-1
We are called to be bold. Youth With A Mission. When the rain doesn’t come. Perhaps it’s when we are in the drought. When we are so thirsty for the rain to come,. Eagerly awaiting to be washed clean, to feel something,. That we learn the importance of the dry seasons. Maybe feeling nothing teaches us something. But love, often times isn’t a feeling. So we convince ourselves if we don’t feel it the way we’d like to receive it,. It’s not there. So, while in our droughts,. We often seek out own advice.

Sometimes it’s quiet | We are called to be bold
https://elliegtakens.wordpress.com/2015/02/22/sometimes-its-quiet/comment-page-1
We are called to be bold. Youth With A Mission. Sometimes it’s quiet. It isn’t always a loud banging drum. Or the praises of the choir. It isn’t always a voice grabbing the attention of one another. Sometimes it’s quiet. The way you live love out in action. It’s the way you get up day after day. With a smile on your face. The way you don’t always have to talk. But insist upon listening. Sometimes it’s quiet. It’s often over looked. The way you live love out. It’s the day to day passion. Day in, day out.

Things that matter. | We are called to be bold
https://elliegtakens.wordpress.com/2014/12/09/things-that-matter
We are called to be bold. Youth With A Mission. 8220;Things That Matter”. Sometimes he lets that boss get. He can’t see passed that mountain. Of deadlines on his desk. Five o’clock, he’s the last one. Out of the gate. And he gets cut off, flipped off, ticked off. Out on the interstate. And he wonders why this world won’t. Til he hears that little voice holler. Things that don’t. She’s held on to that grudge. And thirty years of anger. Since her dad walked out that night. She thinks of all the moments.

A tribute to Hannah Leigh | We are called to be bold
https://elliegtakens.wordpress.com/2015/05/30/a-tribute-to-hannah-leigh
We are called to be bold. Youth With A Mission. A tribute to Hannah Leigh. I’ll always remember you. With a pony tail and a smile. The way your eyes lit up when you laughed. You always knew just the words to say to put a big grin on my face. A sweatshirt and a pair of shorts. A softball glove and a determined spirit. The verses you had taped all over your walls and engraved in your heart. The way you spoke, with such softness and truth. I learned so much about humility from you. That was our Hannah Leigh.
