The little peanut has already grown a ton, and we are thankful to get to parent such a sweet gift from the Lord. My prayer is that this little girl or boy will love Jesus desperately and be a light for the world to see. I also pray that Forrest and I will love Jesus and each other more, so that our child will see God most clearly from our home.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">We took 98 middle schoolers to camp in July. 11 heard the message of the cross and decided that life with Jesus is FAR better than doing life without Him. My job might not be the easiest thing at times, but what is better than getting the opportunity to show kids that Jesus is better and Jesus is more?</span></div>

<br />
As a matter of fact, I try to avoid those people at every opportunity. Maybe because I have a hard time believing that life is THAT tidy. My experience has been the opposite- that life is actually pretty messy and people are broken. <br />
<br />
I've been on my 3 week assignment at Younglife's Frontier Ranch this past month, and I've seen through thousands of hurting kids how messy life really can be. And I saw over and over again that it's the messy people that Jesus seems most drawn to.<br />
<br />
There is something about a God who is most drawn to the messy and broken, the hurting and unsure, that I really like. There is something about a God who would rather be at a party with the tattered than at a religious function with the "flawless" that gives a lift to my heart and soul. And there is something about a God who is continually questioning and challenging the "perfect" while pursuing and caring tenderly for the imperfect that makes me smile more than just a little.<br />
<br />
I guess it is because in all of the mess and brokenness, it gives me hope. For myself. And for millions of teenagers across the world.Turner Outlaw Eleazerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14378719117675687258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-674299616391998875.post-6612979547475061632012-05-21T14:47:00.004-04:002012-06-22T10:48:14.793-04:00Mrs. Villio<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">A next-door neighbor and I would get married on a daily basis (definitely not kidding about this one!!) in his living room. His mom was the preacher, his sister played the piano, and my ring was the twisty-tie from the bread in the kitchen. My "groom" was named John, but because of a speech impediment, he had to get used to me calling him "Ga-on." We would drive off down the sidewalk after the "ceremony" in his powerwheels red wrangler jeep for all of the neighborhood to see. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><b>Here is the story:</b></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><b></b> I was leaving town on Thursday for a reunion with my best friends, so Forrest had told me to mark my calendar on Wednesday for a date night before I left. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">It was a typical Wednesday. We both got home from work and jumped in the car to go on a boat ride and go to dinner. The tide was low, but Forrest was so determined to get the boat in the water that he even jumped in with his shoes on to push the boat off of the lift. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">Once we were on the boat, he surprised me with a cooler filled with cheese, crackers, salami, and drinks. We rode out to the gulf and sat in front of the Don Cesar Hotel on Pass-A-Grille Beach to watch the sunset.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">At 8:28 on July 13th, Forrest told me to close my eyes because he had one more surprise for me in the cooler. As I opened my eyes, he was down on one knee with the sun setting on the horizon. Both of us had tears in our eyes thinking of the future we get to have together.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">I'll never forget his words. "I love this. I love that we can do this for the rest of our life. Turner Louise Outlaw, will you marry me?"</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">I think in all of the excitement, I forgot to actually say "yes" to his question. I am guessing he got the picture from my reaction, but just in case...<br />

</span> </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">And I like living that way. I like being involved in the BIG stuff the Lord is doing. I like feeling like a BIG fish in a BIG pond. I thrive in the BIG moments in life or at least I used to...</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I have found lately that I get overwhelmed when I think BIG scale. Moving to a new city is overwhelming. Finding community and meeting new people is overwhelming. Meeting 100's of kids is overwhelming. Being responsible to bring Wyldlife to 6 middle schools is overwhelming. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Simply, transition is overwhelming me, but I am reminded of a parable in Luke (Luke 16:1-13) and the words of the Lord, "</span><span class="woj"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much."</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">All Jesus has asked me to do today is to be faithful in the SMALL things. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I have to remind myself that I am called to pay attention to the small stuff, so that when the BIG stuff comes around one day, I can be faithful in that, too. </span></div>Turner Outlaw Eleazerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14378719117675687258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-674299616391998875.post-12130303851265977262011-06-22T16:29:00.001-04:002011-06-22T16:29:30.393-04:00Old and New:<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I want to brag on Forrest.

Yep. Kinda freaking out. Excited for the big move though. Tampa, Florida, here I come! The Lord has provided so much: a great job (Wyldlife Ministry in South Tampa) and an amazing place to stay (a family has given me a guest house in South Tampa to live in for FREE)... I am so thankful!<br />
<div><br />
</div><div><b>Fun fact:</b> Forrest bought a house. I am completely in love with it. Built in 1925. Four blocks from the water. Has character and charm GALORE. A couple of rooms are nasty colors, but other than that, it is in great shape. Congratulations, Forrest... you might have a new mortgage to pay, but you have found the cutest little bungalow ever built. </div><div><br />

You hear the hearts pumping in their chests. Their mouths cry “save us” while their hearts cry “give us what we want.” But because you are God you hear even deeper in the spirits of men and women and even children the silence of our profound loneliness. You hear the trickle of need we scarcely know ourselves.</span></span><br />

She is a p</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">recious friend of mine, and we have been through the good and the bad together. She has been with me and my mom at MD Anderson Cancer Hospital this fall (</span><a href="http://theladyinthestreet.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">http://theladyinthestreet.blogspot.com</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">), and I have been with her when her mom passed away from cancer three years ago. When you spend time with Ivy, you leave feeling refreshed. She loves to ask questions and is one of the best listeners I know. She is wise beyond her years, and one of the wisest choices she ever made was to marry an amazing man by the name Drew Lassiter. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

She might not have had her mom "physically" present with her on her big day, but what the Lord orchestrated for her was so beautiful...</span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Well, I didn't during the ceremony. When Drew and I were looking at the photographer's pictures Drew saw this picture and said, "My mom is going to love that since it says Mom." It still didn't hit me then.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">This week I read the book "Heaven is for Real", which is unreal. It's about this 3 year old boy that went to heaven. You just need to read it. He talks about how he could see what was going on on earth and so many other amazing things.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Well, right when I finished the book I got an email from my cousin with the same picture. She said "Do y'all see what I see?" </span></div></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

<ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">A cute boy named Forrest moved down the street from me and joined my Wyldlife team. I enjoyed getting to know him better.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I lived in an apartment.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I was just starting to feel comfortable with my job with Younglife. Whitefield Younglife, Whitefield Wyldlife, and Pace Wyldlife was going well, and I was nervous thinking about taking on the task of running an additional fourth club, Pace Younglife. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">My mom was cancer free.</span></li>
</ul><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Now...</span></b><br />
<ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I am moving to Tampa, Florida in </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">28 days</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> to be with Forrest. In a year, he went from living down the street from me, to living 2 hours away in Birmingham, and now to living 7 hours away in Florida. He has bought a house built in the 1920s that is filled with character and charm located in St. Petersburg's Old Northeast area. I love him more and more every day I am with him.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I live in an amazing house with two girls. We have been blessed beyond belief to live in a newly renovated spacious house.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Younglife has been unbelievable this year. I am still surprised at all of the kids the Lord sent our way at Pace and Whitefield. Club has been fun, kids have grown in their faith, and my leaders are encouraged seeing all that the Lord has done.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I have been offered a Younglife position in South Tampa to do Wyldlife. The committee and staff have welcomed me with open arms, and I am excited about the kids I will get the privilege of spending time with.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">My mom has been through months of surgery and radiation in Houston, Texas. She is recovering and doing well.</span></li>
</ul><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I am overwhelmed thinking about how much the Lord has done in a year. The verse in Isaiah is on my heart today, </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">"See, I am doing a new thing! I am making a way in the wilderness... because I provide water in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland, </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">to give drink to my people, my chosen, the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise."</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> He has provided, and I am filled with joy.</span></span></b>Turner Outlaw Eleazerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14378719117675687258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-674299616391998875.post-442040303208960312011-04-05T10:20:00.003-04:002011-06-30T15:31:22.378-04:00Legion<h5><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Love this passage in Luke 8:26-39:</span></span></h5><h5><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">"They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes,</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 6px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">which is across the lake from Galilee. When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs.</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torture me!” </span></span></span></h5><h5><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Jesus asked him, </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="woj"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">“What is your name?” </span></span></span></span></h5><h5><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="woj"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"></span></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">“Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him. </span></span></h5><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission. When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, </span><span class="woj"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">“Return home and tell how much God has done for you.”</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Two thoughts:</span></span><br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Jesus goes to a place He has never been before and a place He will never go again in His ministry. He simply goes to see the demon-possesed man. Jesus comes for the one. He was and still is always concerned with those on the outs.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">When Jesus healed this man, He had a plan for him. The man wanted to go with Jesus and start his life over. He was known as a weirdo. He had been isolated for years and had lost everything; yet, Jesus called him to go where they knew Him as the "crazy guy." Can you imagine the stares or the whispers when people saw him? Staying where they knew his reputation from the past was uncomfortable and hard. All he wanted to do is forget the past and live a normal life. YET, the man did exactly what Jesus told him to do. He still obeyed even though it was not what he wanted to do, and the Lord was glorified because of it.</span></div>Turner Outlaw Eleazerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14378719117675687258noreply@blogger.com
