I know it has been a long time since I last wrote. I have sat down several times and have started about three blogs and never finished. Lately the Lord has been stirring up in me peace and stillness. I recently asked the Lord what he wants of me this summer and he simply said “COME”
” Come with me by yourself to a quiet place and get some rest” Mark 6:31
You may wonder what this means, but as I transition into a new season of me life, I find it very quiet. I am normally scared of quiet but this time I am embracing it. I find I am sitting at home, thinking through life, asking tough questions to the Lord and really tossing through prayers and thoughts.
Right now I’m reading a book called “can you hear me?” by Brad Jersak. I am learning we need to tune ourselves to the Lord. “To open our spiritual ears to listen to the voice of God and to open our spiritual eyes to see his face” (Brad Jersak). That communication is the heart beat of every relationship. I am taking this summer to embrace the quiet, the moments of sitting in complete contentment and going deeper with God. As I do this, I do not always hear God speaking, but simply enjoyed the presence of being with him.
It was actually kind of ironic because as I was talking to God about this new season of “coming” and ” being”-coming to His feet and being
in His presence. I was at church and it was preach that day about “Attending to Gods voice”. Actually I am not going to call that ironic I am going to called this God confirming what he is asking. Oh how I love this journey.
So as this summer embarks, I am running after God, embracing moments, finding new joys, being refreshed and enjoying the life which is marked out.
“The watchman opens the gate for Him, and the sheep listen to His voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know His voice.” John 10:27
