I have found where I belong~

A different sort of peace has gripped my soul lately...just, praise be to God, for making me more and more sensitive to the voice of His Spirit. Getting back into the steady habit of early morning quiet times (those cool of the day moments, but running towards Him with expectation - not backing away in shame). And oh my goodness (rather, HIS goodness), receiving so much encouragement and peace from some rich, intercessory prayer times every week...I am so amazed at the difference between prayer times when I plow in with my own agenda, instead of asking my Father who He would have me supplicate for. (Life is so much sweeter when you're abiding in the His heart!) Praise God...experiencing so much growth right now - He is awesome!

Also, beginning to get a clearer understanding of my word for June...I know that seasons are shifting (which is a good thing!), and I believe I'm supposed to keep my hands open. Ready to receive all that He has to pour down and release what I no longer am meant to hold on to...and by the grace of God's truth, I'll be able to discern between the releasing and receiving. =) ahh, everyday with You is sweeter than the day before! I've found where I belong!
haha! Wow...God is so funny - that's definitely the 2 current songs that I'm stuck on...

Kim Walker's, I Have Found

I have found a peace that ploughs on through the storm
I have found a joy that jumps over sadness
I have found a love that lights up every room
I have found, I've found You!

You are all I want, You are all I need,
Everything my heart could hope for
We are longing for, the Glory of the Lord,
Cause we know there's so MUCH MORE!

I have found a trust that teaches how to rest
I have found a grace that guides me by the hand
I have found a strength that stands like a mountain
And I have found, I've found You!


Cory Asbury's, Where I Belong

Your presence is all I am longing for

Here in the secret place

Your nearness is all I am waiting for

Here in the quiet place,

Here in the secret place

My soul waits for You alone

Like the watchmen wait for dawn

Here I’ve finally found the place

Where we’ll meet, Lord, face to face

Hallelujah...Father, this year is nearly half over, and there hasn't been a step I've taken without you; let me continue to abide in You as You shape me into the woman You desire to me to be - for the Glory of Your Name! Haven't yet taken hold of it, but pressing on towards what lies ahead...

²But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall. (Malachi 4)


*another recurring theme: Unity of purpose/focus/intention/spirit/heart...haha, all of the above.

²⁴And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, ²⁵ not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. (Hebrews 10)

(and)

¹So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, ² complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. ³Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. (Philippians 2)

So convicted to not give up on friends (new & old) that God has placed on my heart to reach out to/pray for. ¹⁵Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, ¹⁶making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. (Ephesians 5) There's just no time left to be selfish and waste our time...Lord, thank you for continued guidance as You open up my eyes to clearly see who You have for me to serve...use me as You choose.

Grace & Peace be yours in abundance...
