Lately God has been putting vision into my purpose in life. I have several passions: music, photography, church, social justice (the latter two should go hand in hand). I know God will use all these things somehow.
Recently I have started to listen for direction on where to go after this. I'm still praying if a 3rd year is part of God's plan in my life. We will see. I do know that I want to see healthy, thriving churches where I go next, and I want to play a role in seeing that happen.
Not only have I been listening for direction, but I have been strategizing for my ministry. I need to get more of this out of my head and onto paper. Because let's face it, we can't just "flow with the Spirit" when it comes to doing something like building a ministry. God gave us brains for a reason. So I've been thinking alot. That's all I'll say about that for right now.
So the new look of my layout is pretty cool, right? :) I know that song is old ("I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack), but the lyrics are so good, so beautiful! They always fill me with awe and make me feel closer to God. The picture is one from when I was in New Zealand. Me and Lydia were so excited that there were actually falling leaves in autumn! Reminded us of home (Sydney's not cool enough to have falling or color-changing leaves), so we just threw them up in the air and danced around in them. I still can't write blogs on my computer (don't think I'll ever really be able to, oh well). I'm at the school library again writing this blog. But I do want my blog to mean something, not just be something that I update people with back home. I want it to represent my personality, and the entries to express my heart, though words can't often describe what I am learning or the revelations I am getting about God.
If I had to sum it all up with what I'm learning about God, it would be love. Simple as that sounds, it's all He is. I've always seen God as judging me or what not, but He loves me no matter what I do. "I'm sorry, God." -- I get tired of hearing those familiar words come out of my mouth. But God is so pleased. How crazy is that? His love goes beyond my human mind's ability to comprehend.
"An infinite God can give all of Himself to each of His children. He does not distribute Himself that each may have a part, but to each one He gives all of Himself as fully as if there were no others." - A.W. Tozer
