So I've been doing a lot of reading
Waking up everyday to hear from God is how I honestly want to spend the first thirty minutes of every morning for the rest of my life. My house lately, and even right now, the sky is grey and rain looks to fall, and all I want to do is snuggle up by my fireplace, and read.
Also, I have been reading the biography of Amy Carmicheal. Elizabeth Elliot, who is my favorite author, makes it so easy to fall in love with missions in this book. This is the poem that I put into my journal yesterday written by Amy's mother:
"He who hath led will lead
All through the Wilderness
He who hath fed will surely feed...
He who hath heard thy cry
Will never close His ear,
He who hath marked thy faintest sigh
Will not forget thy tear.
He loveth always, faileth never,
So rest on Him today-forever."
Before, I probably would have skimmed over this, but not lately. Lately, God is preparing my heart. Preparing it for a people across the span of an ocean, but at the same time given me a heart for my friends and those I minister to here. Its crazy that God has counted me faithful, I just want to cry and shout from the rooftops at the same time! This life is more that I ever could have imagined or dreamed. To wake up and live fulfilled and complete is all I better than the words, better than my dreams.
"Now to Him who is able to do esceedingly abundantly above all tht we ask or think, accoring to the power that worketh in us,"
