Well I wrote this post back in October, how God was stirring in my heart. November crept by, December my heart was troubled, burdened....and here comes January....and the heart of myself and my husband are both being stirred...we still don't know why, or what God has in store but He's setting the stage for something....
I started reading a new book called "7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess" by Jen Hatmaker. I wasn't sure exactly what to expect but it's kind of like a wooden spoon being used to stir a pot of boiling water, it is truly speaking to my heart. It's helping me put things, life in perspective. I am thinking again of how many hurting people there are outside the walls of my home, in my city, my state, my country and the world. I can't minimize the worlds problems and say that I can do NOTHING for those in need, who are hurting, who are poor and in poverty, who are hundreds of thousands of miles away from my front door.....because the truth is, I CAN do something.
I know a God who is so powerful, a God who can change everything, and be sufficient in all circumstances, and who am I to withold him from others? Refrain from sharing Him with those who need Him? We have a sweet Jesus who we have the freedom to worship and there are people all around who not only do not KNOW my Jesus, and my God but don't have the same freedoms we do in America to serve Him, pray to Him, read His words....
I know this post today is really not resolving anything, just confirming something I've known for months...God is working and moving in my life, now that I know that for a fact I am so ready to find out what He has in store for me!!!!
