“One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.”
Psalm 27:4
Will you imagine with me for just a few minutes? Imagine that you are sitting in the throne room of Christ. Imagine that you are sitting right at his feet, at the feet of the almighty God. Would you be afraid or would you take the opportunity to get to know him like you would your future spouse? Would you allow yourself to become so used to his presence that you could here him whisper I’m right here? Would you ever want to move? Would you ever want to go anywhere without him again?
We’ve partnered with Penhop this month so the evening part of our ministry looks a little different than you would expect. We’re not teaching in a school, we’re not feeding the homeless. 3 nights a week this month, we are spending time at the feet of Jesus. And it’s incredible. We get to spend literally hours in worship, prayer, devotional time, communion and anything else the Lord puts on your heart.
The sense of God in this place in unlike anything I’ve ever felt and it’s left me wanting so much more. I want a deeper relationship with the Lord. I want to get to the point that I’m constantly in his presence. He shouldn’t have to reach his arms out to touch me. I should be so close to him that he doesn’t have to move a finger.
God asked me to take my family and friends from home away for the rest of the race. That means no talking, no videos, no pictures… Nothing. Its hard. Its only been a week and it’s difficult. But God asked me, Are you going to lay around and pout about it or are you going to let me fill this new space in your heart? Let me grow you even more my love, because I haven’t even scratched the surface of what I have for you. Just listen. Sit with me. Get to know me. I will astound you.
Guys! I’ve only been in Penang a week and I already feel it. God’s breaking down walls in my heart and making way for me to run after him like a mighty river.
I’m. So. Excited.
Really. I’m more excited to spend time with the Lord than I’ve ever been to spend time with a boyfriend. Is that possible? Yes. Yes it is.
Yeah, God’s doing some incredible things in my heart out here and I just wanted to invite you all in on the journey.
Yes, we are also doing other ministry. We’re helping out at a refugee school and the kids are adorable! They’re so eager to learn. I’m hoping to start doing one on one teaching with one of the younger boys. He’s the cutest thing probably on the entire planet!
Sooo yeah. Sorry this blog is kind of like word vomit and definitely everywhere. But I’m so excited about how God’s working in my heart. If I can in any way encourage you to learn to just sit with the Lord and let him work, I will. So that’s what this is I think.
I love and miss you all!
