Reset

Reset -  to set again or anew; to move (something) back to an original place or position; to put  back in the correct position for healing


What if we moved around the definition of reset and it read: to put back in the correct position for healing (so that it can be) set again or anew.  Wow!  Reset me Lord! 


I feel as though I have been reset.  The things I need healing from are going to be made whole because I have put it in His hands.  I have allowed him to reset me and put me back where I was supposed to be all along so that I can be made whole and new.  

I ask you the same questions I've asked myself.  


Have you:

really given it all to Him?
stopped asking how this will happen and just walked with him?
let go and given up control of the situation?
stopped trying to figure it out?
stopped staying up all night thinking about how YOU can make things better?
spent time with Him at all lately?
asked yourself, "Do I really know who He is?"  


Imagine you're in a crowd of people with a friend.  You are in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people and to be quite honest, maybe a little scared.  You rely on that friend to lead you and guide you to where you need to be.  You take ahold of that persons hand and let them lead you through the noise and the crowd and the chaos and the unfamiliar.  You just trust.  


Sometimes we need to stop looking around and trying to figure how WE will get ourselves out of the CROWD and just grab His hand and let Him lead the way.  


We need to reset.  Get back to the foundation of who we are in Him, not who we are in ourselves. Not what we have to offer this world but what He has to offer this world through us.  We have to reset, clean out ourselves, get back to the basics of knowing Him, finding Him, loving Him, and trusting Him.



Get back to the basics.  What are the basics? What is the foundation?  Simple.  You and Him and how well you know him.  Everything else will just fall into place.

What are we listening to?

I recently purchased this book called Women of the Word which was recommended to me by a friend.  It's a year long devotional of 52 women in the Bible.  I'm on week one and God is already using it to teach me.  EVE WHAT GOD SAID:  You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die. WHAT EVE TOLD THE ENEMY GOD SAID:  We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, "You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and  you must not touch it,  or you will die." WHAT THE ENEMY TOLD EVE:  You will not certainly die,  for God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil. First -  Eve added to God's word. Second - so did the enemy. Seeing this leads me to ask two questions: 1. How often do I add to God's word based off o

The big T

So I guess I've decided to keep going with this blog. Surprisingly, I'm finding that I like writing on this thing. My thoughts are mainly for me but maybe someone might feel the same about things and it helps to know you're not alone sometimes :) (At least for me it does) Ill try to keep it shorter than my blog from Africa though lol. So the big T. Wonder what that is? Transition. Spiritual transition. For me this word makes me want to cringe and be excited at the same time. My life has been in this faze for over a year now and it feels as though the emotions of it all are increasing daily. It's a mixture of excitement, wonder, and frustration all at once. Now I know frustration isn't what   god gives us but I've been feeling it. It's like I'm standing at the edge of the cliff wanting to jump, not sure what Im jumping into, but ready and not afraid, yet someone is holding my shirt and saying not yet. There's two things pulling me; knowing that t

Great Expectations

In four days I will be leaving for my second trip to Uganda.  This year is so different from last year.  I don't understand it but I'm more anxious this year than last year. (A good anxious though.)  Maybe it's because I know what I'm going into and I'm just so ready to get back to it.  I also feel like this is very different…..spiritually.  I know that my experiences will be very different from last year.  I have a few things that I want to take care of for Refuge so I'm going to work while I'm there.  But spiritually, this trip is on a whole other level.  God has been calling me to prayer for the children, Bishop and his family, the orphanage, and the people of Uganda more and more as we approach the day to leave.  I know there is a special calling on this trip---God's going to show up in a mighty way!  I feel like we not only have a physical mission, but that this trip's focus is more on a spiritual mission.  Please pray for us while we are there.
