Awakenings

Have you ever just been going about business on a normal day suddenly to have it all interrupted by the very serious question of, “What am I doing?”  I don’ t mean like, “Why did I pick up the stapler?  What was I going to staple? Why don’t I paperclip it?  Why is that sitting on my desk?  What am I doing?”  But more like, “What I am doing with my life?  IN my life?”  “What does God want to do with my life?”  It’s HIS life after all; I have been bought with price (I Cor 6:19-20).

I don’t quite feel at liberty to share specifics yet.  There is MUCH to pray over, but suffice it to say that things (call them what you want: desires, callings, burnings in my heart) I feel I have let become dormant over the last 8 or so months have now been stirred up again with my trip to Siegen.  There are scary, faith-demanding, exciting, and life-changing decisions to be made…prayers to be prayed.  Please join me, my brothers and sisters.  I desperately need the Lord’s guidance, and wisdom.  As my spaghetti brain gets to thinking of how one change would affect another, which would affect another etc., I need the Lord’s simplicity, and peace to overtake my mind, heart, and spirit in such matters. 

Thank you.

Father, how may I serve you?  What do YOU want from the life you’ve given me?  What am I doing?

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.” Psalm 32:8

Later updated: By the way, as of yesterday afternoon I am volunteering at Kidz Blitz tonight, and I’m totally excited.  Also, if  you want to hear a bit about the mission trip first hand, the group, minus one, shared last Sunday night at Fusion if you want to take a listen.  I would encourage you to listen to Beau’s message, it’s powerful.

    You know I have been praying for you in this (for a long while now.) I will support you in whatever God calls you to do.

    I have to clarify a little: I will support you, even to the detriment of my will or desires. Let God’s Will be done!

  3. I have SO had the same moment. It happens more and more as of late. I’ll be praying for you!

    Jake, I can’t tell you what it means to me to have your support; your selfless support.
    Casey, we MUST talk soon. Thank you for your prayers.
