Being the obnoxious broad that I am, I asked Joe-seph at bluestem to grant me any drank order that they may jack up. AND...it happened this morning! It was such a jackpot, too (gambling is a sin ;) bc it was one of those incredible, yet incredibly expensive ICE STORM coffee blends. I'm relishing it...Anyhoo, I had accountability at the butt crack-o-dawn with meg and emily this morning and it was invaluably encouraging. We prayed together this morning and the Jesus really showed up. Well, he was already there, but we chose to join him :)
words for the day:
"Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should." -ephesians 6:19-20
(em, this really reminds me of what you said this morning about being a slave to righteousness and not sin. yip)
i am so incredibly thankful that God even has the grace to grant me a desire like this. i want boldness and faith when it comes to living a truly spirit-led life. it IS attainable and God wants that for all of us. i want to care hard and GENUINELY care. only God can teach me to do that bc i am one selfish and broken gal. I'm praying that we can all achieve what we were meant to be in HIM!
also, i love it way too much when the stem plays irish tunage. i miss thee emerald isle so...
in closing,
"we were created to be God's crown of nature. Our joy comes from our willingness to serve others." -calvin miller (JOY)
