So, I finally got called out by someone who noticed I was rocking some new art. Yes, I got a new tattoo. Initially I thought about what I would buy from each country we were in as a souvenier and after God called me to rid myself of so many material possessions I decided I would just get a tattoo that signified whatever God was teaching me in that country. We’re in month 3 and I have only gotten one tattoo…and I’m not quite sure I’ll end up with 11. 🙂
Let me unwrap what this symbol means…try to stay with me because God reveals more and more depth each day:> This is a Maori symbol from the tribes in New Zealand (which is where I got this tattoo)
> The meaning is intertwined, eternal, when two become one
> The meaning is intertwined, eternal, when two become one
> It is in greenstone (a precious stone in New Zealand) and just so happens to be green and gold – Go BU! 🙂
> I got it on my forearm as a constant reminder of what God has done in my life – and is now a foreshadowing of what God is continuously and tirelessly doing in my life
God is my FATHER, I am His DAUGHTER (1 John 3:1)
We are intertwined for ETERNITY!
God is in every part of my life
God knows my heart
Every word I speak is full of God’s voice
My prayers are God’s prayers
My heart is God’s heart
Break my heart for what breaks yours, everything I am for your Kingdom’s cause
I am never apart from my FATHER
Jesus has wrapped himself around every fiber of my being
I will not be shaken
I am part of God’s army…I put on His armor daily (Ephesians 6:10-20)
The Lord speaks only the truth and the truth is within me and has set me free
God loves me
God is growing me and teaching me his secrets and it is a lifelong process that I get to share with Him. We are completely intertwined and connected and that bond will never be broken because God has given me power over anything that is not of Him
Like I said, I learn new things about my Father in Heaven every day. God speaks to me in the most creative ways and the more time I spend with Him, the closer I grow to His heart. I seek such a genuine intimacy with God. As I read the bible now the truth of His word literally springs off the page at me and I can’t help but share what He is teaching me.
Everything I just wrote about what God is to me, He is to you, too. As you read this pray these things over yourself and speak them out over yourself. I’ve been learning in so many ways how powerful the spoken word is…when you speak life, you bring life.
