Starting to open up...
I am beginning to like this Blog. I just pray that my passion for it continues once school starts. Just a few weeks away. Time is moving so quickly. My going away party is Sunday (8.21.05), I preach my final sermon at Mt. Zion (8.28.05 / 10:00 and 12:00), I pack up all my stuff up (9.4.05) and hit the road (9.6.05) Time is a movin’ and I’m trying to keep up.
But the truth is I have such mixed emotions about this next stage in my life. I know that this is the place which God has called me to but it is a step I need God to walk me through.
This year my focus has been on unconditional love. I am so glad that this is the place God wants me at right now. This year God has reminded me that He loves me unconditionally and I in turn have been working to love others unconditionally. But now God has made it clear that it is time for me to learn to love God unconditionally. What I mean is that I am on my way to seminary where I may learn some truths about my living God that I may not like. But I have to choose to love God unconditionally. But what I love about God is that God is consistent. Thank You!
In this season of unconditional love I am falling deeper in love with God.
The things I do. The things I say. The thoughts I think.
God is amazing and stealing my heart.
I am dissatisfied with my discipline in my prayer life. But I think that will get better with time and with Seminary. Chesla and I plan to pray together on a regular basis. So that will help. But what I do know is that God is moving me to a place where I can’t afford to not pray. I do notice that I am constantly in a state of Worship. It’s wonderful. I think in many ways this Blog will become a part of my prayer life. I tend to write when I feel the spirit present. And I always pray that what I write will bring Glory to God and refine me as a creation.
Well, until the next time the spirit moves…
