1 Chronicles 22; 1 Chronicles 23; 1 Chronicles 24; 1 Thessalonians 3
The struggle to drink the cup….to rest in YOU….to know in my heart, want in my heart YOU to be enough……the softness, brokenness, humility that comes with that is frightening and yet strangely exhilarating…..
Met with a gal this morning and the time we spend always really fills me up.
Last nite getting together with a couple and encouraging them on their journey’s it’s like a drug for me.
How do I engage people everyday that encourages them, challenges them, draws them to ‘finding You’ for themselves?

Woke up with this song on my mind. Well this phrase…”I will not be moved.”
I told a gal IF you pray to wake up and Him be your first thought, IF that IS your hearts desire… it WILL happen. I believe that…..so this song:
"Will Not Be Moved" by Natalie Grant
I have been the wayward child
I have acted outI have questioned Sovereignty
And had my share of doubt
And though sometimes my prayers feel like
They're bouncing off the sky
The hand I hold won't let me go
And is the reason why...
[Chorus:]I will stumble
I will fall down
But I will not be moved
I will make mistakes
I will face heartache
But I will not be moved
On Christ the Solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
I will not be moved
Bitterness has plagued my heart
Many times before
My life has been like broken glass
And I have kept the score
Of all my shattered dreams and though it seemed
That I was far too gone
My brokenness helped me to see
It's grace I'm standing on
And the chaos in my life
Has been a badge I've worn
Though I have been torn
I will not be moved
And then, these verses this morning…….1 Thessalonians 3: 6 But Timothy has just now come to us from you and has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you. 7 Therefore, brothers, in all our distress and persecution we were encouraged about you because of your faith. 8 For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord. 9 How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you? 10 Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you again and supply what is lacking in your faith.
11 Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you. 12 May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. 13 May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones.
If my Grandkids someday remember, KNOW that their Gigi loved God, followed Jesus, desired to be KNOWN as a follower of Christ…who knows what they may accomplish for the kingdom. Who knows where their hearts following Him may lead….more to know Him and His grace, power and glory……I will not be moved.
