WEll just to let everyone know, I am in Vermont for a brief visit. I am my grandfathers birthday present :) I am exhausted though I didnt get home until 2am. It was a long day of traveling. But it is good to be home and to see my family, I think that I needed it at this moment. I have been so pensive lately. It is so interesting how you go through seasons. God grants us seasons of rest and then seasons that require more from us. I am wondering what this next season will be like. But even though the seasons of rest and fun are awesome, nothing can compare to the depth of wisdom and understanding that can come out of the times of trials. I have come to embrace things in my life that I thought were so horrible. I have come to embrace the way that my father is bc I am able to identify and share in others pain. God has been so real to me in the past few days, it was like I was launched back out into the deep without any notice. I was feeling so distant from Him this summer and for a while. But all of a sudden it was like bam He was back in full force. The other day I just broke into intercession and then all of a sudden I had this deep longing to be near Him and to be in intimacy. The desperation was coming back and the closeness was coming back and it came out of no where. Crazy. But i missed it so much. The prophetic came back and the sensitivity to the spirit. The longing to do His will and not my own came back. All in an instant. Life is tooo short to live carelessly for ourselves. This world is filled with hurting people that need us. They need the salve that God has applied to our wounds that we can share with them, but it is up to us will we be obedient? I feel so broken right now. Broken for people, broken for families. There are so many families in so much pain. It is hard for me to not take on that pain. I dont ever cry but I have been in the past few days. God has broken my heart. But it is good. It is better to feel than to not feel at all. I feel so intense right now! :) Luckily the Lord has given me the ability to get wild and wacky real quick :)
Well lovely ladies from Vermont I miss you, I feel the absence of your prescence here in Vermont, it is not the same without you and I have only been here a day. I love you guys and I am greatful that God has allowed our paths to cross in life. You are each amazing women of God. I have never met girls with such a deep committment to the Lord. You each have such sincere love for Him and a deep desire to do His will at whatever the cost. As we embark into the unknown waters of our future I am glad that we will have one another to throw eachother a life raft if needed whether in prayer or in action. I love you guys and I am praying for you.
