Joshua 18-20; 1 Cor. 9

............coffee, bagels, conversations about South Africa, the Holy Spirit, Matt 6:33...great start to a Tuesday.

We didn't read or journal together sometimes a gals just gotta visit and catch up and see Christ in each other. I can see You in these women, in their journey's, their stories....and what a charge that is. To be able to share Your movement in our lives, Your direction, our stubborn refusal to see and obey and the JOY when we do.
It's just an incredible blessing and challenge...to see and encourage each other to seek YOU first.....

Joshual 18: 3 So Joshua said to the Israelites: "How long will you wait before you begin to take possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?
I sometimes think I need a Joshua, someone to see what I could do....to challenge and exhort me to MOVE.....I don't want it or maybe I want it so badly...CRAP ambivalence.
What am I waiting on?
Where is it You are wanting me to go, to do, to be?
Am I really disobedient to it??
I don't know...
I see YOUR Spirit all around guiding and encouraging me to encourage others, to see YOU FOR them....to point them to YOU....to validate and affirm You in them.....maybe that's all I am supposed to be doing?
Maybe in doing that there are people that are going to DO things for Your kingdom that I would be clueless to do?
I don't know I just know that You are moving and I am privileged to see THAT in others......
I could list out people here that I see following or so close to following....so inspired and on fire ....a flame so close to enveloping them and everyone around them....
I could list out people here that simply need to KNOW that it's YOU moving in them and in that knowing I wonder what more they would DO because they would KNOW in thier hearts that IT IS YOU doing it...maybe I am Joshua to them???
No...not Joshua he was a great strategic leader....and I don't know strategy from a hole in the ground.....
I do know You though and can point people to seeking You first and trust that YOU will be their strategizer....what an amazing thing that Your Spirit guides us..IF we follow You will take us exactly where Your glory is revealed and in that revelation is our JOY...our purpose....

I see YOU here.......
here.......
here even if she doesn't and I pray for her to turn to you...... people and religion hurt her deeply
I could go on and on and that's people I can show you...there are so many more.....so many many more YOU are moving and it is an amazing risky thing to watch......


And then Paul today........I want to run the race YOU have laid out for me......I want to want what you want MORE than anything......
