Rock-Solid

"The Lord lives! Blessed be my Rock! Let the God of my salvation be exalted." Ps 18:46

At the moment life is a blur. Time seems to speed up and I can barely catch my breath. The Lord is wonderful and worthy to be praised. I stand back in awe at all the opportunities He has given me this week to share about His faithfulness with people.

Thank you for your prayers that God would open doors to share!! They definitely made it to heaven and were answered ;)

KEEP AT IT!!

The scoop:

I was just in San Diego, California to see my friends, touch base, and let everybody know what God's been doing plus what I feel His is leading me into for these next 2 years. It was a mission accomplished. (If you don't know what I'm talking about please refer to: "The Next Chapter(?)" post so you can be updated)

I got to share with so many people I've lost count- I love that, shouting from the rooftops that which He's told me in secret.

I got to share with three home fellowships, a class of 7th graders and address the congregation at HCF on both services!! Not to mention the countless one-on-ones I had... the week ran out before I was able to meet with everyone I wanted to talk to.

It was a beautiful and special time to be able to connect like that with my spiritual family in San Diego.

Prayer Request:

- That God would grow the seeds that were planted this week, encouraging ppl to follow God with their whole heart
- God would restore my physical strength
- Safe flight back east :)
- MORE opportunities to share!!

I love you all :)

One day I'll be a grown-up

or at least so I've been told

But for now, here I am

dreaming of running through flower fields

and galloping half way across the world

hmmm...

The thing is, one never knows

so we might as well try our best now, in the present

So who cares if it doesn't work out?

Do you really want to live with regrets for the rest of your life?

They don't make very good companions....

They are like bratty children

or worse

they laugh at you for eternity, nagging you.... kicking you while you are down

No siree... you can keep all of them to yourself if you really want them

Let me go and fly away... onwards and upwards

beyond the clouds, where all you see is light

I do not want to be tied down to the cares of this world

The worries that choke the life out of many people

The anxiety that causes one to be paralyzed

Let us let go, guys

Let us let go 'of the sin that so easily ensnares us and let us run with endurance the race that has been set before us'

Let us let go of this world and become 'other-worldly'

(most churches would call that being 'heavenly minded'.....)

whatever-

let us just transcend into that which we were always fashioned for: live life abundantly

Let me be rid of the stuff that weighs me down

The fears, the insecurities, the what 'ifs' of this life

Let me live with endurance, with boldness

Let me live beyond my expectations

Let me live like nothing else matters but the eternal

(which, by the way, if you didn't know, IS the truth... nothing else matters BUT the eternal)

I want to love with passion

I want to give with sacrifice

I want to be a good friend

I want to be an exceptional daughter

I want to love Him until I dissolve in His presence

I want to see His face

I want to sing His praise

I want to give myself away to Him until there is nothing left in me but that which reflect Him

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths" Proverbs 3:5-6
