Get In

´´We must make sure our human flesh is kept in perfect submission to Him, allowing Him to work through it moment by moment. Are we living at such a level of human independence upon Jesus Christ that His life is being exhibited moment by moment in us?´´  Oswald Chambers

This is a picture that my talented team-mate Natalie Montgomery snapped on our last day off.  I am glad she did. And I am glad that we saw this boat, because Jesus used this image in a vision today. 

Here is a portion of my special conversation I had with the Lord while praying in my journal this morning:

´´Dependence on you – no longer up to me to decide what is good or evil by my standards. No longer up to me to control my life, or relationships – even memories must belong to you. I believe you want me to come to you in silence and listen. Here I am Father, Here I am. ´´

God´s reply:

´´I will obey.´´

Will you?

´´I want to Jesus, but it seems ridiculous and impossible and I don´t know what the next step is.´´

Next I recieved a vision:

´´So I see a boat, like the one we saw at the beach . You are asking me to put eveything that belongs to you, that I shouldn´t have, in it. What do you want me to put in that boat, Lord?´´

´´I´m in.´´

Listen to me. I know what you are dealing with, Alison and it isn´t too big for me.

 

I have packet of index cards on a metal spiral that I keep with me. They have my favortie verses written on them and special messages written on them from family and friends back home. I have had it open to the message my sister wrote for days, keeping it for a special time top read…. but I just now read it this morning.

´´Ali, God is good. So, so good. He is your all – Protector, Healer, Helper, Comforter, Strength, Solice, Joy, and Father. All you need is found ion Him. This adventure is going to be a year to find your dependence on Christ. Lean on Him – trust Him. He is all your heart is longing for. Love Rachel´´

 

Oh, Rachel, how right you are!!!
