I went to Paisley again for the YWAM New Staff Orientation on Tuesday. It was a welcome change, getting out of the city for a day to do something different.
During a time of prayer several things were revealed to me. One, was that God is a gardener, and He is preparing the soil, and planting, setting down roots for me in Scotland. Other things included living in the moment
because tomorrow will take care of itself.
Having fun with God… finding the funny, pointing to the true.
But also, God said to me through several people…
“Arise, my love, my beautiful one and come away with me.”
He acknowledged my femininity and desire to be captivating and beautiful and responded with lovely words that blessed my heart. I want to run through the fields with Him and be fully confident in the moment with Him, rejoicing always even when I don’t know how things will turn out.
Yes, let’s live that sort of life!
I’m feeling a bit small and wide-eyed right now.
It is so cool to be back here in Edinburgh, to be entering into this new thing, life, journey, destiny, etc. But right now I feel a bit… overwhelmed… or perhaps the better word is baffled by the scope of my dreams, and what I’ve been lead into.
Sometimes I wonder if it’s too good to be true. There just seems to be such blessing and promise of more!
It’s not that I can’t handle it. Rather, it’s that there is so much and I am SO excited about it all. But it’s a lot of work, and time, and dedication. And if the time is now. If this is a time of birth, and yes, and coming to fruition, of hope fulfilled instead of deferred, then that is glorious and hopeful and exciting… and busy!
I cannot let go of God’s hand. And I cannot dare to forget His promises and the things that have been spoken over me.
So, I will allow myself to blink a bit and settle and find my bearings again here, but I also must plunge in feet first and dream and write and plan and hope and pray and trust with all my might. Cos isn’t that it?
Isn’t that the true thing? To know that it isn’t just acceptance or belief…
Believing is one thing, accepting is one thing, but the true, real crazy part of the journey is when you take His hand and listen when He says those fateful words…
“Run”
And you do. And you never stop.
Hand in hand, you keep running and you keep growing until you are more yourself and then more and then more… until one day He doesn’t have to grab your hand. You are grabbing His. You are whole and together.
It’s about trust. And it’s ruthless.
Brilliant.
