Hi Friends,
What an adventure this summer has been...Jesus is so faithful. The window of free time, days at the pool, and sleeping in is quickly coming to an end. But, you know what? Jesus is going to be faithful on busy work days filled with sunrise drives to school and homework just like He is right now. Isn't that encouraging?
Selah.
So much is changing. This year feels really weird right now because of the change. I'm living off campus this year, which is something I never thought I'd do (Not that I'm bashing it...I just didn't see myself doing it). But Jesus had other plans. Next month, this body that Jesus gave me is gonna turn 20. For some reason, this is causing a miniature identity crisis. I've really had to go to Lord with this a lot. There's a new desire (perhaps not new...just stronger) to have a mate...a spouse eventually. It's weird. Really it is.
The winds of change are blowing....
The Spirit of God is blowing...
and He beckons you and me...
Can you hear Him?
"May I have this dance?"
He holds out His hand..
I stop with some apprehension and what ifs...
I hear myself say: "What if He sees me for what I really am? What if the dirt from my clothes gets on His brillant, white robe?"
I step back...
He comes toward me..
Hand still extended...
It's when I see the scar that He reminds me...
He took on my dirt..
So I could dance with Him.
And I reach out...
and we begin to spin and swirl.
He's takes me deeper...
as we dance, He teaches me trust...
He shows me love...
He removes the fear...
He washes me with grace...
The wind blows.
And we dance.
There is no one like Jesus. No one.
The adventure continues.
Dance on.
