this is a season of change
I graduated college in May, and May was so different from what June held and June was so different from the July that has just ended. August and into fall holds new adventure and all the fullness of God if I can just reach out and take it.
there are some things about life that I've been learning:

there are some things about life that I've been learning:
I want to tell everyone something. Every day I become less content with who I am, with where I am, with what I'm doing. If we are not searching for the "more" God has for us, then where are we going? really. My soul aches to be moved to deeper places. And I'm only interested in things that are real, gritty, alive and moving. What's the use in hiding or running away from what truly makes our heart beat? "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (john 8:32)
And I found out that I belong in the moment. After all, that is where we find God...it's where we see grace: in the smallness of life. For the first time, the word "freedom" is starting to mean something to me. Until now I never understood that I was free to go and do and dream and laugh and dance and love, without shame. Shame does not have power over me. I want my life to be so full that there is no more room for doubt, or fear.
so, i'm going.
I go to be a part of the lives of the people who stole my heart over a year ago.
I'm going to be a vessel of this freedom.
I leave for the Dominican Republic in September (yes, 2011) to live all of this out and be with those people, loving them...Christ through me. Heather, Christine and I will be living in Monte Cristi, serving the community and seeking the Lord to learn how to disciple, invest, and bring change. Please pray that these hearts that we serve will be opened to the love of God.
***If you would like to know more about what I'll be doing and/or how you can support me, send me an email (emilee.cook@gmail.com)! I would love to send you more info than you probably even want.
There is also a link to directly support me on this page, to your right :)
more to come...
