Week 16

4.16.13-4.22.13

I remember coming to the side of the fireplace that morning sitting only by its light and being completely still.

My heart was indescribably open knowing this time of communion would be a mix of all things new for me. Thinking… maybe I’ll be surprised, maybe I’ll be sad, but deep down knowing… whatever light He shines I will be in and at peace because I knew I was meant to be there, with Him, exactly then.

I first wrote in my journal how grateful I was for having been invited to commune with Him in this new way. I wrote how it felt to be sitting still in that pregnant time of silence and that now with a surrendered will, I purposed to enter this time of listening.

I love Jesus for how He sees, knows and is miraculously able to fill my heart.

There was nothing I was ashamed of in those awkward moments. He invited me here and He was delighted with my desire to know more of Him as my Lord, King and Teacher.

Looking back I can clearly see how this time, in many ways, was His and I’s genesis for it was a new start to my living in and out His higher ways for me and His Kingdom.
