late night ramblings
I was looking at my blog today and I went back quite a few pages. I found this old post I wrote after a confrence. I was so on fire for the things of God there in Yuba. I miss that hunger, that excitement and the anticipation for the amazing that was waiting for me just around the corner. I have forgotten that a little. To be honest with those who've asked how I'm doing...I haven't felt God, like I felt Him there, since I left. I still talk to Him, hear Him, feel Him...but it's nothing like the amazing supersonic speed that was going on the past couple years of my life. I've realized that we need to constantly remind ourselves of the goodness and excitement of the things of God or we will grow more and more familiar with the things of this world. And we are meant to be the light in this world not just one who blends in. I am a spirit who has a soal who lives in this body...spirit first, made in His image. Him...the creator of the universe, the King of all kings. If only I could truely grasp that truth. After reading what I wrote, I'm realizing what awesome truth is revealed when you spend time with God. He's always amazing me. May we all get a little more time with God this week and may He continue to amaze us.

Jenn,
Thanks for sharing your heart with us.I remember when we first moved down here. I didn't know a soul, and was kind of lonely. Thankfully, the first church we visited ended up being a place where we experienced God in a whole new way.(we had never experienced anything like that)
Then, when we moved to Anderson(Redding) I kind of went through what you are. I learned that even though I wasn't feeling God the same way I was before, he was still there, waiting for me to seek him out.
Kind of like what you are going through right now.
I think there are exciting things waiting for you, (God things) but it's just not time to open that present yet! Christmas is coming for you(I don't mean Decmeber 25, literally) and there is a really big present waiting to be unwrapped at just the right time!I have a picture in my mind of a present that is in layers, kind of like a big box,and each box inside is progressively smaller. But,this one is the opposite. The smaller boxes come first,and then the really big surprise is last.I pray that for you! God will surprise you in small ways first,then the bigger one...
You are such a blessing,and I know God is going to bless you! Maybe he just wants a little quiet time with you. Keep letting him amaze you!
