This is How We Conquer: March 2015
http://theadventuresofnataliebrown.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 28, 2015. If there is any hard lesson Uganda has taught me, it’s not to cry. I have seen only three Ugandans over the age of six cry, and I think the world of each of them for their brave honesty. But aside from that,. Ugandans. Don’t. Cry. At least not in public, unless at a burial. Crying and laughing, snot everywhere. “Glisten? 8221; “Your eyes just get shiny, but you don’t cry! When James Taylor comes on my iTunes shuffle, I see the Rockies and taste pink lemonade and feel the victory...

This is How We Conquer: Anything
http://theadventuresofnataliebrown.blogspot.com/2014/05/jesus-i-will-do-anything_8040.html
Friday, May 2, 2014. Jesus, I will do anything. Sitting here on this rock in Karamoja, I hold out my two dirt-caked hands to Your throne. As my mzungu skin burns under the African noonday sun, I surrender it all, Father. This life is not my own. My lips form three syllables which I think could hold the weight of my whole life. With all the breath in my lungs I pray this word:. I just finished reading Anything by Jennie Allen…you need to read this! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm Natalie, Lover Of.

This is How We Conquer: 2014 // The Year He Named Me
http://theadventuresofnataliebrown.blogspot.com/2014/11/2014-year-he-named-me.html
Monday, November 10, 2014. 2014 / The Year He Named Me. He led me up the mountain. To Uganda we walked, gentle Shepherd’s hand wrapped around mine. We journeyed through a desert called Loneliness. Tears running down my face, the walk was long and silent. No soundtrack, only His sweet whispers carrying me along. I didn’t know Jesus to be my friend until those days in that weary land. I was lonely, but I was never alone. He taught me to sing again. 8220;Father, who do you call me? Who do you say I am?

This is How We Conquer: The Grand Canyon + Waiting
http://theadventuresofnataliebrown.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-grand-canyon.html
Sunday, March 22, 2015. The Grand Canyon Waiting. In January my Dad took me on a trip to Oklahoma, Kansas (I think? One of our many adventures on the trip was to the Grand Canyon. I had never been. Dad has been there once. We’re up at the crack of dawn. A coffee for me, a Monster for him, and we’re in the car and on our way. The ground is covered powdery white snow. It’s magic. I’m enchanted. But then we make it to the Canyon’s edge. Johnny Cash is on the radio and we know all the words! What’s on ...

This is How We Conquer: October 2014
http://theadventuresofnataliebrown.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 8, 2014. Right here. Because of things unseen, because of His moving on our behalf…. Here in the maternity ward, where new life comes like the sunrise. Baby Yokanna, full of promise. Papa stolen away by HIV before his baby boy took a first breath. But Mama Hope is all smiles, holding her new treasure. “Atunula nga ki taawe,” she says. “He looks like his father.” Beauty from ashes. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I'm Natalie, Lover Of. Jesus who saved my soul. Traveling the whole wide world.

This is How We Conquer: Jesus is My All in All
http://theadventuresofnataliebrown.blogspot.com/2014/12/jesus-is-my-all-in-all.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2014. Jesus is My All in All. Today I know the Lord to be my best friend. He is Shepherd Strong. He has lead me on red dirt paths, airport terminals, wide open Texas roads, never once leaving me to walk alone. Today I sit on top of the mountain, uphill 2014 behind me, and shiny new 2015 ahead. Who's to say this year won't be even more difficult, even more lonely, an even steeper uphill battle? But one thing I know: He is with me. Today I have every reason to trust Him. God, I'm so...

This is How We Conquer: January 2015
http://theadventuresofnataliebrown.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 20, 2015. It is a deep knowing that He is good. Light breaks through the cracked places. And today we will live here. The call of Brave Joy reverberates. For Brave Joy is the gait of a sinner turned saint. The faithful footsteps of an exile. We are walking home. Keep walking, walking. In J O Y , my brothers. Sorrow, heartbreak, death, today is not the end. Never the end, not with Jesus. Pangs of longing, How long, O Lord? Today we are called to Brave Joy. Today we will walk in Brave Joy.

This is How We Conquer: April 2014
http://theadventuresofnataliebrown.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 12, 2014. I Am Small and He is Faithful. I’m praying to The Father “God, even if I never understand why you brought me here, even if I never see this dream fully come true, my one desire is to please You. Teach me to be obedient, even when it doesn’t make sense to me. I just want to please You. The scariest part and the best part of this dream is that I cannot do it. Abraham must have been freaking out. God just gave him the biggest, coolest dream ever! There was really nothing Abraham co...
