So I’ve been trying to get myself to blog for the past week and a half. I promise. But for some reason I’m having the hardest time. I mean, it took me like 30 minutes to come up with a title and its not even that good! Good grief! And its not like there’s nothing to share. I think my mind and my heart are caught up in other things. Beautiful things. Heavenly things. Floating in the endless ocean that is the Father’s love. My Spirit being awakened with a fresh breath of His Presence that restores and rejuvenates me like nothing else, leaving me hungry for more. Soaking. Savoring. Abiding. Reveling in the simple yet life-changing truth that I am my Beloved’s and His desire is for me. I can so easily get caught up in other things. Ministry. Leading. Trying to figure out what the heck I’m doing with my life once I get back home. And not to say those are bad things, but sometimes even the good things can distract us from the necessary things. Like resting and abiding in the sweet love my Daddy has for me. Because when it comes down to it, His love is the most important thing to me. It is who I am. The fiber of my being. Without it I am nothing and I can do nothing. Yet from it I can be who He is calling me to be, and do what He’s calling me to do. His love is the foundation of my identity and my reality. And so to lose sight of that is to lose sight of my true self and the Kingdom reality from which I was created to live. So this past week He’s been romancing me back into that sweet place of intimacy with Him. Filling me with the Bread of Life as my roots grow deeper and deeper in the Living Water. Because what is life if it is not lived in love with the One who is so outrageously in love with us? How can we, as the Bride, live without that hunger, passion, and desperation for our Bridegroom? We were made to love and be loved by our Father, our Creator. And its when we open ourselves to receive that love that we become fully alive. Fully awakened as if raised from the dead. And that is how I want to live. That is who I want to be. A daughter fully alive, captivated and consumed by the love of her Father.
Here are some pics of Penang, Malaysia, where I am currently living.
Yeah, it’s legit.
P.S. I am hoping to post more blogs about the amazing things the Lord did last month in Thailand and what’s happening this month in Malaysia. We’ll see how that goes, people…
