Healing Rain
|
I purchased the new Michael W. Smith song, Healing Rain, from the iTunes Music Store yesterday and I have listened to it about 10 times in a row because it really speaks volumes about me right now. I am in need of God's healing rain. It says in 2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" but I am having a hard time coming to that realization.
I so desparately in need of peace over circumstances and the way they are right now. I know that I am doing what is right, but I feel like I allow myself to feel sad, confused, or worried all the time. I cannot be the person that God needs me to be without God's healing rain.
My favorite lyrics in the song and my testimony right now:
Healing Rain, I'm not afraid, to be washed in heaven's rain.

It's been a while
|
|
It's been a while since I have posted to my blog so today seemed like a good time to do it. My life the last few weeks have been eye opening. God has revealed a lot of things for me this weekend and I am excited about fulfilling his will for my life. However, I know I need his guidance in all that has been shown to me because I know I can't do it all, but I know I have a heart for these things. One thing in particular for me is workplace ministry. God has put it on my heart to share Christ with my co-workers, but I don't know the best way how. I want them to know who Christ is to me and how it can be to them. I really hope to have friends at work who are followers of Christ, and I know that only God can grant that for me.

Guitar
|
|
Today is an exciting day for me because I am getting a guitar from eBay. This may sound wierd but I think God has put it on my heart to learn guitar. I am always taken back by people who can play it and I think God put the desire on my heart to learn it because I love to sing worship songs all the time and I need an way to further my expierence of worship. I can not wait to get started because having played the violin for a number of years it will be nice to play something different.

Holidays, deep thoughts
|
|
The 4th brought me a lot of time to just think. Think about what my true motivation is for my life. I am really blessed to be given the opportunity to take the time to reflect and process my life. With that I have come to the realization that God is the only one that will be able to shape my life. He is the only one that can give me the guidance in my life. I cannot allow others to effect that and I must look to him for everything. Today I got the opportunity to share my heart with 3 of my really close friends. We have had this opportunity every Monday for the last 3 weeks, but this week it really hit me. What hit me is the heart of a man. What a man desires more than anything and why is it such a hard thing to do. But it all comes down to what my good friend Tim said today: "Drink Deeply of the opportunities of life, and become drunk on the passions of your soul" That's all. Just look to all the opportunities in life and use God's guidance to pursue that, because God will give us the desires of our hearts. So my heart is focused on God because only then I can live in happiness.

New section
|
|
I am starting a new section today called faith and I am doing this because my faith is the most important thing to me and I cannot hide who I am in Christ anywhere in my life, including this Blog. With that said, I thank God for motivating me to use my blog as like a journal for all of my thoughts. One thing I have taken away from the last few days is that God loves us all and I am charged with loving everyone as well. This is not a new concept for me but I am only remided as I start this new phase of life, entering the workforce. I have realized that God is the only one that will give me life and motivate me to live everyday. I have to look to him for guidance even at work. Since God is love and he is the one I look to for life, I must love others because it is one thing I can do to remain focused on him. It is just amazing how much difference the Lord makes in your life if you just love others as Jesus loved us. I pray that God will continue to keep me motivated to love him and everyone else in the world.
