I’ve had a lot of time on my hands these past few weeks…Our team was doing Unsung Heroes this month in Pakse, Laos and as far as finding those treasures it was pretty slow going…however this has been a beautiful month!
Papa knows what we need…He’s just good! I was given a taste of my craving to have more time with Him this month and boy did I need it!
Im a laid back kinda person…very chill… not fast paced, I like to have time and space to breathe ..to think. The race is not structured for this kind of personality, I knew that coming in but I didnt know to what extent and what effect it would have on me personally. There was really no way to know haha.
Without the lack of schedule this month I think I would have missed a fair amount of stuff. I always want to be in tune and aware of the areas the Spirit is highlighting in me… to constantly allow Him to reshape and transform who I am. I love having hours to sit in His presence … I may not even be aware of what He’s doing, I might just be allowing my spirit to connect with Holy Spirit – its amazing! Its not always a time of conversation, asking specific questions or listening as downloads pour in – I have those times, they are frequent and beautiful but I love the stillness as well.
To just look at His face and be overcome is enough. You don’t want to move or talk…what could you do or say that would be better?
When we first came to this city we were kinda bummed at the lack of activity and things to do but I really wouldn’t want to spend this month doing anything else. I crave this time with my Dad, I may or may not get so many hours over the next few months like id want and it makes this month that much more special!
I don’t want to go around the world doing cool things…its amazing that I’m provided that opportunity but I just want to be in the presence of my King.
Nothing is more important to me. Nothing is more special to me.
This month has been beautiful. The spiritual realm so active. There have been things inside myself and inside my teammates that have shifted, altered, moved that wouldn’t have in the same way if we had had another busy month.
Im leaving this country today with so much happening, so many things to chew on. He’s just begun another season of seeking first the Kingdom! Its so good!
He draws me out and romances me by His Love, His peace, glory… He’s refreshed the hope in me for this race…He’s given it new life and meaning. I have no clue what that means …I’ve just heard Him invite me once again to lock eyes and not pay attention to the rest.
*** Some pictures that give you a glimpse into this beauty I’m talking about. The physics gives great visuals into the spiritual.
