It has officially been a week since Joe and I left our World Race training camp.
I came to training camp soo excited to reconnect with God, I had no idea how He would explode my picture of Him.
The first half the week we had a speaker named Ron Walborn, and he spoke about living a Christian in life in a post modern world, but all that information and how it impacted my heart and mind is a different story but know that it set me up for what God had in store later that week.
After Ron left we had a variety speakers. The one God would use in biggest way for me was Clint Blokelman. He talked about lot of awesome things but the illustration that blew my mind was the wedding invitation. If you know me at all you know my LOVE for weddings!
We have been invited to the wedding of Christ and His bride. Can you imagine how beautiful that invitation would be? We all will attend this wedding but as you are picturing yourself at this gorgeous event where are you? Are you a guest? Sitting as a bystander, watching the beautiful bride approach her adoring groom. Or are you in the bridal party? Close to couple but working to earn a spot close to God. Or are you the bride? The beautiful love of our heavenly groom's heart. The beloved of the creator of the universe, that He is going to say vows to, step into a life of intimacy, commitment and never ending, unconditional love.
Which one was I? Which one was I dying to be? Both were easy to answer. I was the bridal party, always striving to do the right thing, serving where God needed helping hands, looking on at the wonderful couple, so hopelessly in love and bursting with life and joy! And I so desperately want to be the bride. To look in the eyes of my groom, my God, and see His love for me and know that mine was shinning back.
At the end Clint told us that if we felt like God was speaking to us to walk down the aisle to our groom. I am blessed to have gotten married in the last couple of years to my wonderful husband and so the picture of walking down the aisle to commit my life to a loving groom was still a fresh and powerful image in my mind. As soon as Clint stopped talking I was out of my seat, with tears in my eyes, walking to the front to commit myself, heart, soul, and mind to my Beloved! That moment changed my life and most of all my view of my God and how He views me! I am His treasured Bride!
