The Workings Out of a Heart Not Fully Formed Yet

I write because I dream: I see this world as a place the Kingdom of God is constantly breaking into and I want to join my King Jesus in whatever way He sees fit to bring His life, His Presence, here.

This journey has taken me all over the world and lead to encounters with incredible men and women of God: their lives have imprinted mine. This blog is a result of our conversations and questions, and a way for me to display my inner life with God, so that others may see the glory of a life given fully over to her Creator. I, and the ones I love, are no special people--we just partner with an amazing God.

We've seen suffering. We know doubt. We wrestle with where we have been and how we got there--but we will never give up. Our lives are a testament to His faithfulness.

Be Blessed as you read. Encounter the King.

Life is so funny, just a tired, twisted dream sometimes...

People tell me I have joy, but I feel as though its attacked so often! I have to constantly abide in order to find that joy that comes from Him.

But that's life, isn't it?

We must stay near our Father (abide in me) in order to be full of that life abundant that He promises (You can do nothing apart from me). I must guard those precious moments when I can look into His face...especially as I approach this new school year, so full of...it's just full! Ha ha

I guess I always wonder if I've done enough...and I have a tendency (perfectionist and first born that I am) to always wonder if I've done quite enough :) I have to stop that and remember to always be putting those people and situations and the outcomes in my Father's hands.

That's the key...and grace.

Thank you for forgiveness, my Lord. Keep reminding and teaching me.
