Purpose

It is a strangely familiar feeling, peace of mind.
although one i haven't known much, i could recognise it completely when i received it.
Yesterday, was the beginning of a journey for me, a journey which i have no idea where it will lead me.
God, my king showed me i must go to Africa next year and before i go, i must learn Te Reo and Kapa Haka.

We had a guest speaker, a missionary named Suzi, who is a photographer, and God spoke through her about using your gifts for him.
In my mind i just had this image, me leading the haka in an African villi age, me learning the taiaha, defending women, not for glory or anything like that but because it has to happen.
The photos Suzi showed, there was such raw emotion in them. Fear, Anger, Sorrow.
i thought to myself... that's not how women should... ever look... its not sad, or bad... its just wrong, its the opposite of how it should be.
How do people ever get the idea to make others feel like that.

I have been thinking for a while about what it means to be a MAN of God, an actual MAN, and how we have to stand up for women.
This is Gods commandment for me... I cant wait
