I'm doing it. I'm blogging. I've felt the desire to blog before, but I'm actually doing it. It's weird knowing that people might read this, but also exciting. Anyways I wanted to share about my awesome day.
So I woke up, not exactly sure how many hours of sleep I had because of the time change, but was excited to get stuff done before my day started @ 2. I started the day off with God, which is of course the best way start off & as ironic as it is, I was stressing about not having an intentional Sabbath (which is encouraged while being part of the leadership team for Campus Crusade for Christ.) At least 2hrs resting with God is what is encouraged, but I was planning on taking only about an hour so I could get hw & what not done. I started off praying and dove into the gospel of Luke, chp. 16-18. All amazing stuff of course. Afterward though, I still longed to remain in good time with God, so I picked up, YWAM founder, Lauren Cunningham's book "Is that Really You God?" It has been so inspiring to read about his story and life. He is just a normal dude like you and me, who focuses on what God is saying to him & out of faith acts on these faint impressions despite how crazy it seems. As a result, there are more than 1000 missionary bases in over 150 countries, with nearly 16,000 missionaries, thanks to 1 man who said "Yes" to how God told him he wanted to use him. Wow, all because he just goes with the gentle whispers of the Holy Spirit. So in essence I've been trying to listen more for God's voice & what it sounds like to me, because we all hear him differently. Surprisingly I am finding that it is way easier than I've built it up to be. God's here, moving, and speaking.
Cool well I got through not even 2 hours of my awesome day, but it's time for bed & I'd like to be somewhat awake to end my day with God just as I started it with Him.
The moral of my story: I pray that you would be inspired to be silenced before our King & sensitive to hear His sweet, sweet voice.
"..He who has ears to hear, let him hear." Luke 14:35b
