Do you know how many times I have come to write on my blog... my journal is bursting at its seems with amazing revelations that I am dying to share with you. Ahhhh
So first if you haven't read this blog you need to... my dear friend Tracey is starting a new amazing journey and is going all out. Trust me this is an inspirational story you don't wanna miss. http://becomingmyhusbandsgirlfriend.blogspot.com/
More news... I am going to be doing a half marathon in June... there it's out there and now I must finish it. Ahhh it's been a rocky journey with already having an injury but hey let's get them out of the way early. This is part of the reason I have neglected my blog... needed some rest time. This week I got back out there twice and it felt good. Except for the burning pins piercing my lungs... never smoked and never will but I can imagine that's what a runner that smokes must feel like. But I am pushing through it's a little defeating how quickly your body loses it's momentum after just 2.5 weeks of being out. But hey the Lord is my strength and with Him I can do all things... even roll my fat booty out of bed at 5:30am 4 times a week to run... UGH!!
So I will be speaking in a few weeks to our Jr High Group (whoop Whoop for the Core... YAY) and I always need a LOONG time to meditate on the Word and absorb it in my every blood tissue and DNA. It just doesn't come easily for me as it does my amazing hubby but here I go, I will be speaking on Ephesians 1:7-10 well after absorbing it partially my word is "Together" God has always intended us to work together and live in Harmony together... this is why He always called to "ordinary" to preach his word. It's so easy for us to get caught up in status and think that we are better than someone else but God doesn't call us to be extraordinary and self righteous he has always called us to an even playing field. This isn't a sports try out that only the best make it. I have so much more love and Joy in my life when I let go of people and surroundings and focus directly on Jesus and allow my eyes to meet his, to allow my heart to beat in unison with His, to see others as broken, to hear God on a daily basis and have my heart yoked with His. When you are yoked with the Lord it allows you to work together in a harmonious way free from guilt or strife since it's almost like the Lord whispers sweetly and softly to you "that's not truth my loved one... don't buy that lie" or even "that person is really broken and hurt they just need a friend". Reaching out to other and being accountable to one another is just as the Lord intended life to be. Isolation is the first thing that the enemy does to our hearts. If the enemy can get us alone in our heads that's when he does his best work.
Something to ponder... does being together and authentic in our failures and pains scare you?? If it does why?? Maybe the Lord is wanting you to live better together.
This is a work in progress but these are my first thoughts...
GEESH I am all over the place today... must be the run and then all that coffee. Hope I didn't lose you and you still love me. haha
