the battle scene.
This morning I have a great picture in my head. The verse making the subtitle is Exodus 14:14, "The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still." Ok so the picture, Pharaoh just let the Israelites go and then he changes his mind and sends all his soldiers out for them. They're getting ready to cross the sea and this is what Moses says, "the Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still" then bam the waters part and shazam they walk across not having done a stinkin thing. I love that this morning, the Lord is going to battle, to fight for me, my heart & life.
let it change you. sit back and let Him fight for you today. seriously, don't wear yourself out.

long time no post= long post! :)
well well well what's up? My God is o so good, He continues to be faithful through it all. He fills my heart with inexpressible joy!
1)I continue to learn of His great love. of how He pursues my heart! He chases, runs after me. I literally canNOT get away from Him and i love it. I've known this, but I believe He's still showing me the depths of His love. Jer.31:3 has blessed my heart lately, it says. "I have loved you with unending love and drawn you with unfailing kindness" how freakin sweet is that, He has drawn us. loved us with unending love! beautiful. especially for my heart. i just light up knowing the King of all Kings loves me. a lot! to draw me, even in my mess! its gorgeous really, its like the most perfect upright man chasing and fighting for the worst of all harlots! and He chases till He has every part of my heart.
2) the never ever ever ever ending with patience. I'm a planner and an arranger, which doesn't mix so well when it comes to following His lead. patience makes me nervous, makes my heart beat real fast, brings anxiety. BUT, it is incredible the peace He gives that allows me to wait, wait and see. wait, sit back and let Him work! I was at a bible study recently the guy was talking out of Jeremiah 29:11 which I've probably heard only like 99 gazillion times, but the Holy Spirit is good and shows us something new about the words we've heard and read and memorized. So as the guy put it, the Israelites are stuck in between, they've been rescued from the Egyptians and now they're waiting for the savior the prophets are speaking of. they're completely in between, for at least 70 years as the scripture says. holy cow, 70 years I think I would just go ahead and croak. so he goes on to talk about the hope that vs. 11 gives. however, the hope is not that our circumstances will change. nope its that our God loves us enough to let us go through the in between times to refine us and make our heart more like His. to let us somehow learn how to trust Him in our blindness. In learning patience I've seen how sisters partner with you in prayer for the safety of your heart, the steadiness of your soul. so the in between, yea, He still reveals Himself there.
3) Im training for a half marathon. haha its grreat! i've truly come to love running, not that I'm super great at it. So far I've talked to several kids outside playing, plopped in mud and been followed by creepy white vans on my runs around the neighborhood.. but what I love most about my run is it always causes me to chat with my Father, sing out to Him and just chill. The training actually hasn't been too bad at all. Thanks to Lauren at work I've got a wonderful training program off of runnersworld.com, which I highly recommend!
Oh and I'm super uber stoked for Middle School DNOW. upward cheerleading makes me laugh. and my best friend would sleep in my twin size bed with me every night if i let her haha
