Baaaack

Being back brings so many emotions.....

So I'll remember being gone......we would get up every morning wherever we were and start with reading and journaling and the best part, sharing our journaling . And with this Discovering God study we are bringing a new element, or at least it feels intentional and new, obedience. After reading you come up with an I will...what a blessing to hear my husbands heart and to realize that this day there's going to be a real effort on both our parts to hear God and to seek to obey.

The time on the back of the bike is so amazing. I think alot, dream alot, pray alot, I tear up and cry...... I allow myself to just sink into thots.....I sometimes think I need to have a notebook to write them down. Because sitting here now I don't remember specifics, just a closeness to Him, to Dan, to the elements. I especially love riding in the rain, to me it's like a Jetski to Dan it is annoying and dangerous. We had a couple of times where we had to get off the bike on the Blue Ridge Parkway and hunker down under a blue tarp...I loved it!

I wish I had something profound to share but mostly I realized that I want to Hear His voice so badly and that I think I will seek that the rest of my life. And when I hear it I am praying to be instantly obedient to it whatever it is, no matter how inconvenient or frightening....I am praying that He knows my heart and it's desire and that my lack of obedience in the past doesn't mean I won't get another chance :) Luckily from reading the OT I see HE doesn't need us to DO anything, HE doesn't give up on us...HE LOVES US.....so I'm gonna trust that and keep on seeking Him and His voice, His heart.....
