Today I happened to read something I had written in January.  I had posted it on my profile page of the i-heart.org blog site.  

(i-heart.org is part of Hillsong United’s i heart revolution – the purpose of their site is insipiration, awareness and connection.  Check it out… it’s awesome!)

Anyway… I happened to log on to the site today (which I haven’t done since being accepted into The World Race) and I read this:
My name is Aimee.  I have experienced the healing mercy of God and have completely been brought out of death into the light of life… How can I not be excited and want to give EVERYTHING up and over to Him?!  How can I sit here in my “beyond” blessed life and not desire God’s love and mercy and salvation for others?  Go into all nations… I want the nations – I want the nations singing for joy and praising His name!  To quote Jake Hamilton – I want a life that is beyond what is safe, normal, possible – I want a life redefined!  And my heart brakes for those that have not yet experienced the realness of Christ… (written Jan. 1, 2010)
I read this and I thought of Habakuk 2:2-3 (amplified).

2And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision and engrave it so plainly upon tablets that everyone who passes may [be able to] read [it easily and quickly] as he hastens by.

    3For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day.

 

I read what I had written and thought of Habakuk and laughed out loud! That was January and by the second week of February – I’m going on The World Race!  I just love how God does that!  On a day when all I want to do is question myself, my purpose, if I really want this journey, if I can do it… Just as I start to panic over the days slipping away… He reminds me of who He is and stirs back up the desires of my heart.  I love the little things He surprises me with everyday!  But, why am I surprised…. It’s the TRUTH… it’s His FAITHFULNESS…  I love how the Creature of the Universe finds small ways to encourage me and tell me He loves me everyday… wow!!! Oh, how I love how He loves me!!!
