mercy New Every Morning

its my last day off before school officially starts. ayyee!! this morning is lovely. complete with kashi cereal, a little coffee and the perfect chair. Then He begins to speak, moves, straight to my heart. He's stirring something within me, I can feel it in my spirit. and I'm excited like I get for the superbowl or good seats at the mavs or rangers, but more! pumped. this morning He spoke through....

my heart beat.

game changer.

this is truth. like Vitamin C for the soul. a little booster for the day. drink up my friends.

peace and grace be yours. today all for Him.

camping.

Well the pictures speak pretty well for themselves. The story goes like this me and kaylan decided to go campin before she gets hitched with Austin and before I'm pretty much married to school. just a time to breath, have some good time and sit in our Father's creation a bit. so the just of it is two girls(best friends), Lake Alan Henry, all alone! one tent. one car + one locksmith= hilarious! crazy winds. tent floods. minnows. fishing ALL day. ONE catch lol. a dang good burger. bird poop. lots of laughs and a ice cream cone from DQ to top it off.

and in my heart there is such a beautiful peace, I know its a Jesus thing, cause I don't get that on my own for sure! amazing what a little patience and trust does for ya.

Psalm 62:5-6

"Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from Him. Truly He is my rock.."

peace.

peace of mind.

God acts on our behalf.

if you've ever waited or are in the waiting now. go. listen. click here.

let your heart be blessed. i was super encouraged and convicted. How stinkin cool that He acts on behalf of those who wait on Him (Isaiah 64:4). For His direction and timing. waiting is submitting to His perfect plan. I want my life to be shaped by that in ever aspect and ever detail.

thanks gare for sharing with suh-breena who then proceeded to share with me. God works cool like that!

peace.

relentless

To be utterly honest I've been complacent. numb. barely living. you know those moments when you feel like your simply breathing and with awful allergies maybe not even that. Then finally I felt something. His relentless pursuit of me. He never ever lets go. NEVER! seriously I can't go far before I see how much I need Him. So as I began to bust at the seams, I came running to open arms. relentless love. overwhelming peace. leaning against Him and feeling His very breath over me. He spoke to me. beckoned me to my knees, humbled for He's so high above me. He changes me in these moments. Tells me new things and reiterates the foundation of things. This time His words were, "adore Me" whoah. hold up, You want me to adore You the creator of all things, author of salvation. and my love and adoration, well its filthy compared to His. so so small. but yes thats what He wants from each of us. If we can begin (continue) to adore Him, maybe obedience becomes our very desire, almost second nature. maybe patience isn't so bad (I still think it is. He is working that within me) but hey He is God almighty, unshakeable, a Mighty Fortress. and if He loves me enough to relentlessly pursue me maybe whatever He's making me be patient for is more than I could possibly imagine. and that my friends is beautiful.

So for those of you who are numb today, complacent or maybe just struggling. know that He is relentlessly pursuing you, yet waiting for you with arms wide open to embrace you. enjoy His relentless pursuit of you today!

Hosea 2:14 "Therefore I am now going allure her;I will lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her."
