so. i honestly have no idea what to think or feel at all right now.
there is a lot going on in my life, mind, and heart. so much that i can’t begin to put it into words.
the Lord is doing some crazy awesome things, and i now more than ever can tell that His plans are far greater than my own. i don’t know what they are, but it’s gonna be so good.
“Your works are wonderful, i know that full well.” – psalm 139.14
i was so majorly encouraged tonight. i went to sr. high [the high school dept at my church] because it was senior celebration night AND freshmen move-up night, and since i have both, i went. and it was a huge celebration of what God has done, is doing, and will do through the youth ministry. i just finished my 5th year of leading a small group of young girls. and it’s so amazing to me. it’s hard, don’t get me wrong, but it’s such an honor and a privilege.
it was also an INCREDIBLE time of worship. michael flowe [he's played in Holiday Parade - check them out] lead worship just like he used to when i was in HS. it was so stinkin amazing. it’s been a while since i’ve really felt like i was free, so to speak, in worship. and i was tonight. totally uninhibited in my worship. and it was so refreshing and encouraging to my heart. i wish i could do it more, it justs seems like those times get fewer and farther between as i get older. i don’t know. it’s strange to me. and i have been really, really discouraged lately, but tonight, none of that mattered. it was just me and God and He met me in a room with hundreds of other celebrating people. and it was refreshingly awesome. He rocks.
ok – so i know this is very long. but i did this on a retreat that was all about addressing the lies that we believe about ourselves and trading them for HIS truth about us – and this was our quiet time activity. your name goes in the blank AFTER you go and read the verse about the TRUTH of what He thinks of you. remember, “the truth will set you free!” <3 rach
