...I've been embraced
By the wonderful arms of glory
There is nowhere else I'd rather be
I believe Your spirit is alive and on the move
Oh I want to be caught up in the middle of You
I wanna be a part of what I know you're gonna do
Oh I wanna be caught up in the middle of You...
I have so much to be thankful to God for right now!! I HAVE A JOB!!! There have been many confirmations that this is the "mission field" He's called me to right now. It's not something I expected but I know the Lord provided it. It's definitely a daily test of dying to self and full reliance on Him. I'm learning more about the absolute necessity of putting on the full armor before entering spiritual warfare (and for daily communion with Him!). As I've been in Proverbs in my reading plan, I've been reading about wisdom and seeing how the necessity of growing in wisdom and understanding plays out as I seek to serve and minister to coworkers. He has also been growing my prayer life as I've found myself more "needy" (as a sweet sister once explained it) of Him to guard my heart, words, actions and attitudes in front of those to whom I want to show Christ through my life.
Just recently, God reminded me of Romans 8:26. I was literally telling God I was so exhausted with a situation that I couldn't even find words. I don't think I've ever recognized His gentle, comforting voice so clearly! Just by saying I can't find the words but my heart's heavy, the Spirit took over and brought so much peace and comfort! God truly is amazingly faithful and good in how He provides for His children in EVERY way! He knows and takes care of every detail. What a gracious, loving Creator!
It's all SO much to take in but it's been so encouraging and peace-inducing to see God continually at work in my life! I know I still have unfulfilled passions and desires in serving the Lord. This, though, has just become a comforting promise that there's more to come! God's purposes and plans for me are far greater than I could ever dream. Eph 3:20, Jer 29:11
There are some sweet gifts from the Lord in my job. One is that I usually get 10-15 min in the morning to take a walk for some prayer and calm time before the start of the day. It's been such a blessing in preparing my mind and heart to "be on mission".
The views remind me of Summerlink :)
