Anja Maree Gibson

IT is ALL ABOUT A WEDDING So as we are entering the last week of April i find myself literally in the middle of no where visiting a dear friend and her family ( husband, 3 boys, 3 Dogs) between mountains and valleys. While trying to sit in silence the phone is constantly ringing in a house with no mobile reception 2 year old twins running on the wooden floor (joyful souls). A couple of farmers in and out of the kitchen. Yesterday was South African (Vetkoek & Mince) for lunch and with the help of so many who serve so diligently in this house hungry mouth's where fed. In this house they do Please and Thank you's & Sorry's and most importantly LOVE so well... I've realised we give the enemy to much room for broken is and anger when we've already been given the FREE GIFT of LIFE ' J E S U S ' In my own human effort I try and fathom what did i miss, what did i do wrong, where have a missed the path, what should i have done differently (...

As I was spending time with the Lord, I asked Him the question: "What more is it that you want off me?"  Feeling like Job and that he LEFT ME, The response I heard was... Anja, I desire your HEART, ALL of your HEART, every part of your HEART, even the pieces that are still broken, all the places that have been wounded & rejected all the pieces that you think you are not good enough, all the pieces where you run to "WORLDLY PLEASURES"  to FILL the VOID inside yourself I DESIRE ALL OF IT, I DESIRE ALL OF YOU, will you give me your HEART? because if you do so I WILL GIVE YOU MINE... 4 years ago in 2009 i gave up what I "thought" was EVERYTHING to follow Jesus... my job, my car, my apartment, my family in South Africa, my friends, my time, my energy, my desires, my future, my plans, my dreams... Since then i've gained the privilege to see CREATION - Malawi, Mozambique, Russia, Japan, South Korea, China, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Syria, ...

I LOVE JESUS   After a Whirlwind time in South Africa, I'm back in Kansas City at the YWAM base.  It's been so refreshing to see my community again and experience the BODY of CHRIST in it's FULNESS with like minded laid down lover's of Jesus:) I spend all day in the IHOP PRAYER ROOM today just soaking in HIS PRESSENSE and taking time to be filled with gratefulness and Thankfulness for the RICH 2 years i've been privilege to run with Fiery, Passionate & Compassionate disciples.  I've realized that even though this has been a time of pouring into the younger generation, its also been a extreme time of pruning, refining and being discipled by GOD  myself!  Praise HIM for for the promise that HE will finish what HE started within us.  We  proudly hosted our first  "MISSIONAL WOMAN'S CONFERENCE"  this was such a huge success and I am excited to see this conference grow. Our CHINESE Leaders arrived and the English and...

To all my dearest friends & fellow disciples  So as you all know i've returned to YWAM  Kansas City with difficulty this time... reason being GOD really STIRRING my HEART for my own NATION & PEOPLE in  (South Africa) and for the first time since I started my FAITH journey with the Lord, I long to be back HOME! But i've been sensing GOD just really want me to realize WHERE HE IS THAT IS "HOME" so I long to just be absolutely surrendered to HIS WILL and SPIRIT in me... Proverbs 16:9 Man plans his ways but God directs his steps... I have  JOYFULLY submitted to God's plan and purpose in my LIFE yet again... Running the race with so much GRACE in this season of my life and just FULLY TRUSTING that HIS ways are BETTER than MY WAYS!!   I've literally JUMPED into staffing the APRIL DTS School  "INTIMACY to IMPACT"  www.ywamkansascity.com  this season. We are merging with a DTS School in KONA  Hawaii cal...

Friend on Facebook I LOVE JESUS Forward to a Friend   YWAM KANSAS CITY www.ywamkansascity.com NEW SEASON & NEW HOME REFLECT God is constantly presenting things to us... The question we all have to ask ourselves is... will i be obedient NO MATTER the COST or is the COST to HIGH? Reinard Bonke  once said in the beginning of his walk with GOD (being a ordinary guy) he looked at the masses infront of him and asked GOD: Why did you give me all this FRUIT and GOD said: " you were the 4th man I presented the KINGDOM to  the COST was to HIGH for the other 3 but you said YES to the COST and to the CALL" THE HIGH CALLING of walking with JESUS is SACRIFICE not because you have to be obedient but because you LOVE HIM so much you WANT to be OBEDIENT KINGDOM CULTURE  "Not the way the world see it or do it but with Eternal EYES" YOUR EYES FIXED on your BELOVED JESUS SINGLE MINDED LIKE A DOVE in this place of REST in God's HEAR...

This season is all about JESUS -Reflecting with JOY all that God has done "2011" in my life- As you all know i entered the USA at the end of June this year, planning to spend   7 weeks ...  quickly I once again realized that my plans is not God's plans! Proverbs 16:9 In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps I continued to lay down my desires and surrendered my life to the ONE that matters MOST to me  "HOLY SPIRIT" and daily abiding in   GLORIFYING JESUS in everything i do. It's been a AMAZING- JOYESS- PEACEFUL journey with the KING- I had word when i left South Africa that my KING is waiting for me in America and with JOY i have ravished his heart! <3 I have climbed deeper into his HEART and he's made his home in mine - where HE BELONGS!!! 8 weeks YWAM KONA- Hawaii "CIRCUIT RIDER SCHOOL" www.thecircuitrider.com 4 weeks DALLAS Texas SMU University-Campus ministry 6 weeks IHOP- Kansas City Intern...
