Nehemiah 8:10.....The joy of God is your strength!.....
For years I have been praying for a spiritual awakening or revival of the Holy Spirit - am I waiting? Am I supposed to? What if it's happening now and I simply need to be a part of it??
Acts intro by Eugene Peterson: Luke makes it clear that these Christians he wrote about were not more spectators of Jesus that Jesus was a spectator of God - they are in the action of God, God acting in them, God living in them. Which means of course in us.
There were so many moments in LA that were awkward and yet in the pushing through the awkwardness there was so much JOY...so much clarity, if only briefly. Briefly that I get out of the way and see YOU in situations, in others.
To live in awkward...to get my JOY from Christ, Your Spirit in me pushing me to LOVE and not be so dang concerned with getting my own way.....
Here's Nehemiah.....

Awkward is such a confusing feeling. I wonder if Adam and Eve ever felt it before the fall. No, of course they didn't. But isn't it interesting that pushing through an awkward moment allows you to catch a glimpse of what God meant the world to be, and who He meant us to be. Thanks for sharing, Becky.
Congrats Becky.
