my word

read and enjoy what God is teaching me everyday as I strive to be an imiator of him and as I long to live life to the fullest until the day that I will stand...no lie facedown...before my King, my Father. "Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy." ~ 1 Peter 1:8

Excitement and fear

That is what is filling me up until the Rock Retreat and there after. In fact everyday that I wake up and pray that today be God's day a feeling of excitement and a feeling of fear consumes me. When you give God the reins to your life you know it will be a ride that your Spirit will love and through his hands up in the air on the roller coaster and your flesh will tremble and barf has it holds on for dear life wishing that it would stop. But if you give God everything that means that the excitement and fear won't stop. Your flesh will have to let go and yes fall out and die. It's a sad tale for the flesh but I shall have no remorse for its death, sick? NO!

I'm excited that God will work and me and show himself to me but I'm afraid because I know I will have to say no to things, I will have to change my life and I will have to live a life that to a worldly person is dreadful. But I shall rejoice. I don't know what God wants to change in me but my prayer is that this next weekend I will be transformed and won't turn back. My life I pray from this moment on will be a life of praise and devotion, Obedience and rejoicing, death and life, brokenness and restoration, dependent and satisfying; May this life be completely held by God's Sovereign Will.

Pray this for me and for everybody else that is going.
