Be...

This is my second year to be apart of the Wesley Foundation leadership, and at last nights meeting we were again challenged to  pray through Psalms 46:10, "Be still, and know that I am God."

(If you have never done this, it's called lectio divina, which means praying through scripture to have a new prospective revealed to your spirit!) 

Go through this, and think about what you are called to BE. 

Be still, and know that I am GOD. 

Be still, and know that I AM.

Be still, and know that I.

Be still, and know THAT. 

Be still, and KNOW.

Be still, AND.

Be STILL. 

Be. 

I kept getting stuck on what I was called to be in the fall of 2010, to Be Amazed, <...click here to go to the first blog of this Habakkuk 1:5 project... and today I was still thinking about what I have been called to be for 2011, when it dawned on me that I am to Be Steadfast.
1 Corinthians 15:58 "Therefore, brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your works are not wasted."

In just the past few days, I know I have not been completely solid in my faith... with school starting back up, I have doubted where I will be in the future and worried about what the next day will bring... who am I to not fully trust in Him?
We serve a BIG God, who has tomorrow figured out, and all he asks of me is that I listen to His plan and trust in it. How incredible, right?

Be encouraged. Be amazed. Be joyful. Be full. Be understanding. Be loud. Be broken. Be vulnerable. And most of all, be open to listening with your heart and head!! 

Season of Patience

Wow!! Where did the summer go?? It’s Mid-August!! I kept opening this page up and planning to write but I just never could, its like I was blog blocked or something. But this summer has been something crazy incredible! I have been amazed by everything I’ve experience this summer and have continued to stand in awe at the perfection of my Makers plan.

Click here to go to Ecclesiastes 3. 

This summer there has been a time for everything! Things were torn down then renewed, there was a lot of dancing and also some grief. Lots of love and healing from hate, and deep searching that has to continue.

The big thing from this summer that I had to relearn was how much patience our awesome God has. I hated how quickly I picked up old sin patterns but am amazed by how incredible His grace is.

"Look around at the nations; look and be amazed! For I am doing something in your own day, something you wouldn't believe even if someone told you about it.” Habakkuk 1:5
Hard to believe how patient He is, but I'm certainly amazed by it!
