I was just talking with a good friend of mine about my surface level blogging. There is a lot going on with me and a lot I would love to share. She said that she had the same question come up last year when blogging; How surface level should I be? How deep should I actually go? I mean, in reality you control how vulnerable you want to be, how much of your life you actually want people to know and understand. I haven't quite figured out my balance, but I am going to take it one blog at a time and atleast challenge myself in going deeper.
Take a deep breath, here we go.............
I really feel like the Lord has been speaking on specific things about what He is calling me into. It is a long story of how this all came about (I will spare you all the details) mostly it was spending time in prayer, in silence. To be completely honest this silence thing went against everything in my flesh... still does. Coming to a place where I can be content to just sit in the presence of the Lord and say nothing for hours has been amazing in my walk with Him. To some this sounds like I am a "Jesus Freak" I am ok with that title.
As I began waiting on the Lord He has begun to turn my desires and passions on FIRE. I am no longer just aware of these passions, but now they are BURNING and wanting to be heard. I have a heart for people, I have a heart for kids, I have a heart for people who are hurting. This passion of loving people has taken a new turn... I am beginning to feel the Lord's heart for people who are hurting, I am wanting to see freedom in their lives, I am wanting them to fully come into the Father's Love and Freedom. The verse that Jesus has been speaking to me over and over is
"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners" Isaiah 61:1
I know that He is calling me into this. He is calling me to stand beside the brokenhearted and to help the captives proclaim freedom, freedom through Him! I don't know what shape or form this will take in the years to come... I have an idea, but I will continue to wait on Him before I write more about this
