Yahweh - Worship video with lyrics by New Life Worship, Ross Parsley

Hello Loved Ones.

I mentioned last week how God's character has been on my mind and heart.

I love this song that speaks to God's character as faithful, unchanging, and enduring. Let me share a bit of my heart as to why.

Over the last year I decided to dig into the heart of some bitterness and resentment that I have been holding onto from a broken relationship. I realized that I could go no further in healing without opening my heart to the things of the Lord.

I finally agreed to see a counselor who helped me sequentially work through the time I had invested into that relationship. I will never forget, as we dug into the heart of the most traumatic and painful memory, how my normally reserved and withdrawn self completely broke free and I screamed, "WHERE WERE YOU!?!"

In that moment, the peace of the Lord came over me, He overwhelmed my heart with His love, and I saw Jesus. I actually saw him in my memory.

My heart broke, unexpected tears flowed, and an indescribable joy filled my heart. It was raw and unhindered.

He was there.

He will always be here.

I am not alone.

This is the greatness of Yahweh. He is faithful, unchanging, and enduring. He is past, present, and future. He is more than what I see, and when He reveals Himself, it is indescribable.

Transformation and the Great I AM

Hello Loved Ones.

I've been resting on the thought of God's character.

I recently heard someone say, "When you speak to God about who He is, He responds by telling you who you are." The song below has been been reaching into the voice of my heart. It is my heart's cry to God about who He is.

Every now and then certain fears creep into my heart that can be just downright crippling. I can get so caught up in the "what ifs" that I become stagnant.... or just plain paralized. Yet, these times have been crucial in my understand of who God is. I say to God, "What if..." and His response is "I AM." I fully believe that there is something about the character of God that addresses any fear I may ever have.

I wish I could fully express in words the power of what the "Great I AM" is doing in my heart. He is transforming me to no longer be a child of fear and the darkness that comes with it, but instead filling it with an overwhelming sense of peace that can only come from following the "what ifs" through till there is nothing left but God. There is much work left to be done... but if you could see the transformation in my life over the past two years you would have no doubt that it was God!

As I listen to this song, I am humbled and quieted being reminded of God's Greatness and Holiness. He alone is worthy of all praise.

Distracted...

Hello loved ones.

Three weeks into school, and I am already wondering what I can go without doing and still pass my class. I'm suffering from a severe lack of motivation right at the moment, as this post is evidence of. I should be writing a paper, but instead my thoughts are elsewhere.

This week has not been easy. My heart is being torn between dreams and reality. As much as I believe that happiness is a choice and that you reap what you sow, you cannot control other people's behavior. I am not necessarily the patient sort. (A weakness I am certainly struggling to hand over.)

There lies my dilemma- do I risk letting someone that I care about slip through my fingers in my efforts to be patient, or do I put myself out there and not worry about potential consequences?

I'm praying for clarity and peace of mind, but it's not coming. Instead I'm feeling more unsettled as time goes on. Prayer is desperately needed right now!
