Hello friends,
I want to fill you in on what is going on behind the scenes here at The Beautiful Deep. I’ve been having a good heart stirring lately and have been more quiet to listen and plan for the direction I feel this space needs to go in. I used to dislike the fact that I feel the need for change so frequently but I’ve learned to embrace it as a God given gift. It helps me to follow Him when I sense His leading. Not that I get it all perfect and always obey right away but I do embrace the change He calls me to.
This heart stirring is about why God has me writing in this space. It is for you – to encourage you and to be there for you when you need to hear truth to be able to take one more step towards freedom. Sometimes I lose track of why I am supposed to write, or who I am writing for and well, it leaves me with much less motivation to be vulnerable and share my heart.
Freedom is fully responding to God out of who He created and redeemed us to be and He made me a girl with a passion inside to see as many women as possible live in glorious freedom. It’s time to fully embrace who we are, believe it and let this fire spread.
So, new things are coming for this space. I’ve been working on a new design to clean things up and make the topics you want to read about easier to find. I am also scheming up some ways to bless you as dear friends of The Beautiful Deep. I cannot even begin to tell you how much love God has poured into my heart for each of you. You are a treasure and I thank you for trusting me to speak with notes in your inbox or Facebook or Twitter screens.
I’m excited about this new, fresh life stirring within me and I would love to ask you to pray for me as I step away from writing for just a bit to bring these things to life. Pray that I would have clear direction and that God’s heart would shine through the work. Pray for each other and new friends who will join us in the future. Pray that we would all become bold in our callings and change this world for God’s glory!
Thank you for your patience as I work behind the scenes. In the meantime stay in touch through email or Facebook or Twitter! You can sign up for email updates {upper right side} to be notified when everything’s ready and I’m back to regular writing.
P.S. You may see some posts pop up while I’m out and they will be posts that I am moving from my old blog to this space. I want to consolidate everything in one place. I will announce once I’m back and the site is ready.
P.S.S. I have realized that being in ministry, in any shape or form, needs a good deal of prayer cover. If God puts it on your heart to partner with me in prayer over this ministry and those it reaches would you send me an email (Kristin@TheBeautifulDeep.com) with the subject “Prayer Partner” and let me know. I’d love to gather a team that I can ask for specific prayer from from time to time. It would be a huge blessing for me to have you on that team. Thank you!

Love and blessings to you Kristin and to your beautiful ministry. May we all be one in the love of God through the deep, wide heart of Christ Jesus. I come from a different theological back ground than you (United Church of Canada) and some of the others you minister to, but I think all our hearts are full of the same love and all the love we share will shine forth God’s glory. Thank you so much for your postings and for your love and prayers. I’ve added my prayers to support you as you bring forth your gifts to so many of us mothers with your beautiful, deep listening to the loving spirit of God.
