Yieldedness = Fruitfulness

By Kristy Tillman • Jul 3rd, 2006 • Category: Everyday Life, Powerful God In A Place Called Hopeless, They See Dry Bones - We See An Army, Two Rivers - Becoming

My fruitfulness depends not on my ability and strength, but on my willingness to yield and be obedient to the direction of the One who is truly able to accomplish all things. This thought came as I was pondering through the way God accomplishes His purposes - especially in light of how God moved yesterday.  […]



I Am A Christian

By Kristy Tillman • Apr 26th, 2006 • Category: Deep Calling to Deep

I AM A CHRISTIAN by Maya Angelou
When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not shouting “I’m clean livin’.”
I’m whispering “I was lost, ”
Now I’m found and forgiven.
When I say…”I am a Christian”
I don’t speak of this with pride.
I’m confessing that I stumble
and need CHRIST to be my guide.
When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not […]



Little Things - Yet Miraculous

By Kristy Tillman • Apr 11th, 2006 • Category: Everyday Life, Powerful God In A Place Called Hopeless

 
This morning was a series of small miraculous moments with the students - I am filled with joy.

joy found in waking early - You have done great things
gifts poured out in unlikely places - You have done great things
emotion revealed in the reading of Your Word - You had done great things
ears open and hearing […]



Dichotomy

By Kristy Tillman • Apr 11th, 2006 • Category: Creative Design, Everyday Life

 
This morning I am in Birmingam - and in the confusion of knowing or not knowing if B-Ham was centeral or eastern time zone - I am up an hour earlier than planned. Oh - well it makes way for the time to put some thoughts down about my desire for the life I seek […]



Prayer Epiphany

By Kristy Tillman • Jun 14th, 2005 • Category: House of Prayer

Today was a wonderful and crazy day. Last night Marina and Kiara spent the night, and this morning I woke up to Kiara jumping on my bed and asking me what I was doing. “Sleeping silly girl!” Marina made me breakfast and then we went over to Mom and Dad’s house to pray. It was […]



God’s Secret

By Kristy Tillman • May 15th, 2005 • Category: Everyday Life, Two Rivers - Becoming

When I moved to Cairo I didn’t have a big vision or anything. Here was my plan.

Live in Cairo.
Get to know my neighbors.
Pray.
Do a cookie ministry from my front porch to get to know the kids in the neighborhood.

There it was - Kristy’s ministry plan for Cairo - prayer & cookies.
As I just wrote that […]



A Time For Everything

By Kristy Tillman • May 14th, 2005 • Category: Two Rivers - Becoming

It was time - I knew it was time - but I didn’t know what I was supposed to be doing.
September 2000 God called me to 30 days of intercessory prayer. Every night I went to my church sanctuary and prayed. Sometimes for an hour, sometimes for 5 or 6 hours. 30 days turned […]



In The Beginning

By Kristy Tillman • May 14th, 2005 • Category: Two Rivers - Becoming

It’s hard to know where to start.
You see the story of Two Rivers is in part, my story. And yet, it is so much bigger than me. It’s God’s story, and how He has been so gracious to let me (and a whole bunch of other people) be a part of what He is doing […]



Why Cairo?

By Kristy Tillman • Apr 9th, 2005 • Category: Everyday Life, Two Rivers - Becoming

Why Cairo? I have often wondered this myself. I wondered, “Why Cairo” when I realized God wanted me to move here, not just for a summer, but maybe, a lifetime. I wondered, “Why Cairo” on the day driving to St Louis, that I finally said “yes” to God, and determined in my heart that I […]
