Simply Something

Here I am once more... I think I haven't written more than once within a week for a very long time. Anyways... Life has been a few licks short of a lollipop. Hah, made you think with that one, didn't I? I know I know... my wit is too much for you!

On the serious side, though, I don't think I've ever EVER had so many prayers on my mind. Jessica and I were at Sarah's house on Tuesday, and before we went home we decided we needed to pray for Jessica, and the blood clot she might have in her brain (Which we found out today is really small, so no surgery! Yays!) and she was scared. So we wanted to pray for her, but she doesn't like to be the only object, if you will, of prayer, so we kind of just kept saying people and situations that came to mind that needed prayer, and we just kind of couldn't stop. SO many people that God has laid on our hearts, it's overwhelming! It's not that there's a whole lot more going on than normal (well maybe) because there's always alot happening, but I've never felt so close to it all. It all affects me, and my very dear friends. I feel like I have a passion to pray for these people. It matters to me, like prayers have never really mattered before. How did that happen I wonder? How do I suddenly care about it all and am able to pour out in prayer, not because I have to, but because it is what I want to do. Crazy. I think i like it.

I decided that i'm not going to rush God. So many times I have faced God and said "Okay, I'm ready work in me NOW, show me NOW, I don't want to wait to know you." Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, it just sets me up for disappointment and a quick fall back into nothingness. So I'm going to try and trust God to work in His own time. Like a real relationship... you gotta take it slow, really start out with the basics.. the little things. Like worship and prayer and reading His word. I don't need to see angels dancing around my bed, or hear a voice booming in the clouds, or find some revelation that catapults me into some sort of spiritual high.

It is simple. So so simple, and for me it's starting with worship and prayer and His Word. That is where I will spend my times with God. Yeah, I think that's perfect.
