God

There are instances in my life that point to God's grace & faithfulness, others His mercy, and still others His unfailing love. . .

I have been walking around in a fog the last couple of years. Wanting to draw back to God and yet not being able to find my way. . .Blank. . .that was how I felt. . .if you have ever been in a dense fog you know that it is blank. . .nothing to see, feel or touch. A wall of white, where there once was color, vibrance and beauty.

This past summer we experienced so much of God and watched Him do amazing things in the lives of the young people working with us. This summer, and even now, is a monumental moment in my life. I am watching my husband being transformed into such a man of the WORD. His excitement is contagious.

After overcoming the guilt for lack of my own time in the WORD. . .God has challenged me to come along side my husband and join in to what was bubbling up in his heart and soul. God is preparing us for our next journey. When and where that is taking place, we do not know. But we trust and listen each day. Wanting to make sure we do not run ahead or fall behind. Ready to do whatever He asks. . .scary and exciting!

Our Young Adult Group is going through "Don't Waste Your Life" by John Piper. What an excellent study and we are only in chapter 3. . .

A quote that stuck out this week:

"Oh, that God would help me waken in you a single passion for a single great reality that would unleash you, and set you free from small dreams, and send you, for the glory of Christ, into all spheres of secular life and to all the peoples of the earth" by John Piper

Small dreams. . .isn't that what we have been taught all our lives?

To only dream small attainable dreams?

Why can't we 'Dream Big in God' and watch what He does?

When did we start settling for "church" life instead of
experiencing all God has set before us?

There is more out there. . .we just have to throw off those shackles that we have attached to our hearts, let go and experience what God can do when we fully surrender to HIM! When we stop listening to "you can't do that" and start listening to what God says we CAN do through HIM!

Read Psalm 138 - awesome!
