YOU are it!

Hey guys!  I'm back!  God's been taking me down some crazy paths lately in my walk with Him and I can feel him leading me to certain things.  This blog is one of them.  So you may be hearing more from me :)

So I had a thought tonight during Bishop's sermon that really just opened my eyes and had me speechless (at least until now).

It was prophesied that someone would come before Jesus and prepare a way for Him.  That was prophesied in the Bible YEARS before John was ever a twinkle in his mother's eye.   He was set apart from the womb. God had a plan for him that was going to usher in the greatest gift the world has ever been given.

Imagine the day when John realized HE WAS IT!  He was the one that was spoken about in the old testament.  Imagine him sitting in the playground or in the synagogue, I don't know when it hit him, but imagine what it felt like to be taught about a messiah that is to come and realize that YOU are the one chosen to prepare the way. YOU are the one prophesied about. YOU are the one that generations have read about that would set the stage for the Messiah to be introduced to the world.  WOW! I don't know if that blows your mind but it does mine. 

I'm sure John always knew he was different and called and set apart.  I'm sure he probably wan't understood by the kids in his neighborhood. But he was human and he had to obtain revelation of who he was at some point.

We all go through this process of finding out who we are in God. What our purpose is and who we are in him?  It's a process that I believe only evolves and never stops. But imagine realizing one day that YOU are it! 

You see we are all it! He has formed you in your mother's womb and knew you before you were a twinkle in your mother's eye.  He knows who you are, what you will do, and how you will accomplish it.  He has singled you out!  

YOU have been chosen to spread Jesus and his saving grace. YOU have been chosen to be his hands and his feet.  YOU! Not the person next to you in church but YOU!  Imagine what is waiting for you to accomplish just by walking in blind faith and going where God leads you!!!!!

Lord help me to walk worthy of this calling, of being chosen.  Let me understand the responsibility of it all but more important, give me revelation of the love that you have for me that you would choose me. This hot mess of a girl who doesn't know what's next in life and doesn't have it all together. Help me to do what you want me to do without my will being involved.  Thank you for choosing me! Thank you for loving me!  Thank you for never leaving me or forsaking me!

Aint He good :)

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.
