I'm ready to burst though, so I needed some outlet. And well, today it's here.
I am so ready for my job and my passion for ministry to collide! There. Said it. Done.
Father, teach me patience, contentment, and proper seeking in this. I am eager.
I resonate with and ponder on these lyrics...
"This world is not my home
This life will pass
Only what is done for God will last.
Lord, take my life and use it up
Spread it thin like a blanket of love
Over the world that You gave Your blood for
Take my life, take it all, Lord"
I think of you often, Amy, and this vital but exhausting process that God has you in. Pruning! He's done (and doing) the same thing in our lives. Oh, how important our character and heart are; much more so than our gifts and involvement.
ReplyDeleteThought of Psalm 50:23 this morning and though I know you know the principle, I hope it's a good reminder:
"He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me,
and he prepares the way
so that I may show him the salvation of God."
Give thanks in ALL circumstances - this is the will of God for your life.
Love you, friend!
