revived

 

Oh boy…its been a while. I think there’s a reason why…not just cuz ive been gone the last 2 weeks…but because the past couple months I have been in this rut.
I’m in a really weird/new place of life, where things I’m dealing with are super new and super bizarre to me, so I’ve been trying to figure out how to deal with these things or how to take them, and havent really been succeeding very well at that. but this past week…its like God has completely lifted me out of this muddy pit I was stuck in.  Granted, the weird/new place in life is still there, the struggles are still real, but my sense of Joy has returned. my viewpoints have changed from wondering what to do, to trusting God in it and just seeking Him and to just sit at His feet.

and right now, i can honestly say i can’t remember the last time I’ve been so excited about life. just with how God has been providing conversations, and how providing things that I’ve been asking for in prayer and desires of my heart when they are fixed on Him…im just amazed at how God is working and answering and pulling so many things together. and how He is encouraging me, and challenging me an giving me new things to think about and look into. I’m seeing how He has been preparing me for certain things, and how He is still possibly preparing me for more in the future. and it just gets me excited. excited for the fall, to have girls in the house again, to have someone to push me, to have people to talk to, to put all my energy that goes into thinking about certain things, into prayer and intercession and learning more about that and seeking God and what He has for me in that as a woman, as a support to people he puts in my life and lays on my heart. to the church. to Him. to all!

 

I’m just p-u-m-p-e-d. and i dont want this to end. i want to stay excited. i want to stay joyous. i want to stay devoted and motivated. i want to proclaim God’s goodness and faithfulness. I want to love. I want to encourage. I don’t want to waste my summer, but take hold of every moment God gives me. I want to fall in love! with my Creator! I want to claim things for Christ. I want to not fear. I want to worship in the beauty of Holiness. I want to grow. I want to sit at Jesus’ feet. I want to build up…I want to bring glory to my Father in heaven.

 

VERSE OF THE DAY:
”I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. when the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to your the things that are to come…”
John 16:12-13

  1. I'm totally pumped. That whole 'not very excited' thing on the ride to LL last Monday, totally demolished. God is great! I can't wait to see our new pastors in action, for AWE starting again, and for OTW to start. In the short term I'm journaling last week. 4 solid pages with 2 days to go yet. That camp was exactly what I needed. Praise Jesus!
