“My heart is stirred for the GOOD THING the GOOD THING Jesus..”
Lyrics to an amazing song that has been played lately around ihop. It describes my heart completely recently. It has been stirred for the GOOD thing. What could that be? Oh nothing but the Love if Jesus!
It has changed seasons here in KC …its COLD!!! hot chocolate and a blanket (or two) kind of weather! Ill let you know when I hit the hills for some SLEDDING!!!! hahha..Just as the weather has changed so quickly so has my life AGAIN. The past months here have been like a blir. Changing is never easy but I have never wanted to sign my name to something that was ‘easy’… just like anything else its a choice. And this is my decision. I have chosen to leave behind things i have long desired simply to learn how to DESIRE only him. I am very excited at the new season of Bible school that starts for me tom.! I havnt been in school for some time and my desire and hunger for some studying and homework has kept me on my toes! (We will see if this is my same response in about 2 months!) But anyways im here. My heart is weak at times and misses my family. I miss Louisiana and the AMAZING food and warm faces. But In the midst of knowing i have obeyed there is a calm and a peace. I am trusting him and following his leadership. He is the BEST leader. For those of you who seem to glance at this blog every once and awhile I ask you to continue to pray for my life here as I seek the Lord and spend time following him with every crazy and wild step he takes! Arnt you so thankful that we SERVE a God who is not boring!?????? I am not a fan of the ‘expected’ ……and I have come to realize that I am serving the right God!!!!! Yet sometimes i throw a fit like a 4 year old girl and yell..”But Jesus this was NOT MY PLAN!” and he smiles at me and says..”Yes …..I KNOW!”
I pray over you right now that the Lord showers down his peace in the midst of the changes he has brought. May you know that he is YOUR LEADER. May he teach you how to TRUST his leadership NO MATTER THE PAST. May you experience his love around you as you place your hand in his and walk with him. May he awaken gifts and dreams that you have let go of…and like the valley of dry bones may you prophesy life back into the dead parts of your life! He is a God of life and life to be lived in ABUNDANCE. May you find great comfort that you follow a savior who loved you to the point of complete abandon and sacrifice. That is WHO HE IS.. and this is who he wants you to let HIM BE in and around you. Jesus may you shine BIG in our hearts today.
…’Shine Jesus Shine fill this land with the fathers GLORY…Blaze spirit Blaze set our hearts on FIRE’
Eccl 3:10. For the first time, the author realizes the purpose to living in a ever-changing world. First, accepting change is a part of God’s design for life. Life occurs in season, always transitioning.
Eccl 3:11. Change is for God’s design. God created us for eternity. See the change from eternity, God’s perspective. Once you do, then it becomes beautiful.
I feel like God has imparted the knowledge Solomon gained when he wrote Ecclesiastes 3. I hope that passage inspires you to press on and stay the course. I miss you dearly, I’ll update you on the whole TheCall thing.
