everything I am I surrender to the King. "I care not what tomorrow holds so long as You hold me tomorrow"
~yours truly
Alright, I know it’s now been over a week, and I apologize for that. It’s not just the blog though, if that helps, I haven’t had much journaling time either. I’m fixing that tonight.
This past weekend we did more of the touristy thing, and I’ll be honest, it felt kinda weird.
I meanI don’t know…
(I love that phrase. Pastor Phil uses it often, and I’ve adopted it now myself :D)
I’ve been teaching preschool now for a while, and I absolutely love it. I swear I have the cutest kids on the planet in my class. I’d put up pictures so you could see them, but there’s a policy set in place for…
today was incredible. tonight there was dancing and laughter. more on this tomorrow. back to you, Steve.
Today (Tuesday) was my second day of teaching the preschool class, and it went LOADS better than yesterday. The morning just flew… except for a few minutes where time seemed to stop altogether.
There was another college team here from Lee University. They had been here for about two and a half…
Hey all!
I’m sorry I haven’t been keeping up with the blog- so much is going on here all the time, it’s hard to find a minute to write about it! We basically wake up, eat breakfast, work all morning, eat lunch, work all afternoon, eat dinner, and then have some kind of activity going on,…
“Our living testimony is that the glorious God has allowed His heart to be overcome by weak human beings, and He has given Himself to both the exhilarations and the woundings of a lovesick heart. When He gazes upon me, He sees through the eyes of love and desire. He comes before me and says, ‘I am a Man in love. I am a God that burns with desire, and I have set my affections on you. I am an all-consuming fire of love, and you are the inheritance that My Father has promised Me. Will you receive My love?”
I’m GIGGLING. Like a giddy school girl. “He comes before me and says, ‘I am a Man in love. I am a God that burns with desire, and I have set my affections on you. I am an all-consuming fire of love, and you are the inheritance that My Father has promised Me. Will you receive My love?” It gets me EVERY time. I’m about 3/4 of the way through this book Deep Unto Deep and I just keep coming back to this passage. My King says to me, “I am a Man in love.” Jesus is LOVESICK. Oh, my heart, oh, my heart, oh, my heart! People always say that love inspires. It’s TRUE. I hear those words from my Beloved and I … well, I’m lost for words, but it sets me on a journey to desperately find the words to say, the ways to echo my unending, passionate love back to Him. I’m completely overcome. I’m a romantic by nature, dreaming of being swept off my feet, and the first time I read those words, I was. I am being romanced by the King of Kings! WHHHAAATT?? Me? Really? WHY? Why does He love me so much? What about me causes Him to be lovesick? I’m amazed, astounded, humbled… and I’m grateful. Honored beyond words. The King chose me. What more could I possibly ever ask for?
I’m in love with a King.
And He’s in love with me.
“I need You. I can’t get enough of You. I come ALIVE when I’m in Your presence, O God of my salvation.” I can hardly speak. With tears streaming down my face, You must know— You must know how much I love You… You must know how deeply I’m in love with You, my Jesus
