Met with a gal this morning that always rejuvinates me.....meeting w/a couple tonite and excited to see where it takes us all....new meeting tomorrow nite to discuss what the journey from Earner to Heir looks like.....there is nothing to me like meeting w/people who either seek to follow Christ or who are seeking to find Him, to come to that amazing realization that He was never lost and always has been seeking them.....I love both categories, types of people and wonder sometimes what I do with those in between and how I think I can judge them, do I?? Why do I see any dileneations at all and why don't I simply love everyone? Sometimes I think I am and then am shocked to find out I really wasn't.....there is so much of You out there and I don't want to miss a thing...cue BonJovi...

I think I'm weird and that is comforting me more these days than in the past.....in letting out who I really am, passionate about Christ, about journey's, about God feels freeing...now to simply not impose my freedom on others...still figuring that one out....and praying in the softness that leads to vulnerability to stay (or is that the other way around?) , not run, not fight against...be still and know YOU are God...

Joshua telling the people before he dies to 'remember' all that happened to them....to remember how You are always ahead....to remember that no victory was theirs save for your being ahead of them and giving it to them .......In Psalm 44, them remembering and taking no credit but giving You all glory......even in the midst of trials giving You all glory.....You are ahead of me in meetings.....there is nothing I can take any credit or be affirmed of it's about You and in those moments loving them because You love me....please Abba help me to remember that...

Do you ever get afraid (fear is so key right now in my life!) of what will happen if you really give God your life? I fear that he will make me uncomfortable or unhappy. Recently, I have these horrible visions of making a HUGE mistake nursing and losing my license and God being like "How much do you love me? Will you hang onto me even now when I've stripped you of everything I've given you and you feel mortified you in front of your peers and friends?" That is an example of what I'm afraid of. And I know it's not right. God does not play games. But I fear him... I think from what I've learned this week is that this means that I don't know God. Vicious cycle...

I don't think I could have given Him my life until I wrestled w/Him about who He is....I will never figure Him out BUT in the wrestling I come over and over into His Grace w/proves to me over and over His goodness....He is good I tell you :)
