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 a place
Where we’ll meet, Lord, face to face

I’ve finally found where I belong
I’ve finally found where I belong, in Your presence
I’ve finally found where I belong, it’s to be with You, to be with You

I am my Beloved’s and He is mine
So come into Your garden and take delight in me, take delight in me

Delight in me, delight in me
Delight in me, delight in me

Here in Your presence, God, I find my rest
Here in Your presence, God     // where i belong, matt gilman| cory asbury

there’s something to say for landing in a place and just knowing you’re smack-dab in His will. at that point in time, a unremoveable smile paints itself on your face. the flight was good – it goes quick when this older flight attendant guy  talks to you 3 hours out of the 4.5 hour flight… sleep occupies the rest. dinner = grand… but telling what God’s done in the short 2 weeks of notice, is better. ima post a few dbpv pics – (my photoshop finally started working..) since there the last ones ill ever post. :(

proverbs 28:1

bold as lions.

this post is encrypted so if these individuals ever do read this, they will know it is for them. This is to the helper who protects in wisdom, and through the steward of the horses, God is gracious.

//Matthew 20:16 “In the same way, the last will be first, and the first will be last,   because many are called, but few are chosen.”

//Matthew 23:11 “The person who is greatest among you must be your servant.”

//Matthew 20:26 “It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant.

There’s a great reward in service. Don’t see it as a lowly position… God views your call to serve through these words above from the Bible. It’s the greatest position to be a servant. The world’s distorted its interpretation… mmm… both of you called to serve. Cushion simply means people take comfort in your presence. And it’s true.

Good things ahead… good things…
and one more thing. He’s the Restorer of families, marriages, relationships in general… and hearts.  Luke 4:18 Ok, thats all :)

that change i mentioned

so maybe i didn’t mention a change… but now i am. there’s a big change on the horizon. and when i mean big i mean like big. it will make a few happy, make a few cry, leave a few stuned, and increase the usage of cell minutes.

Best thing is… God has both my hands like a little kid learning to walk..and He’s a pretty good Daddy.

stay tuned.

no words, really

even if i explained it – it would evoke a different response from each person that read the journey I have been on since the 14th of January. those who i thought would understand..didn’t. the ones who i thought wouldn’t care have agreed that God’s will is best, even if they purposefully choose to deny God’s character and design for our lives.

i will be moving. where? not  sure – I have an area in mind. To put it simply, the Lord gave me a place where he is waiting to grow me at. That place happens to be 30-40 mins west. Bottom line.. He will provide.

he provided the financial means to make it happen.  |  he provided a lesson along the way that spending money for something isn’t necessarily a bad thing… im my fathers daughter..  |   he provided support  |   he provided love..   |  and most of all, through all the stress i put on myself by looking to day 3 on day 1… missing out on all day 1 has to offer… hes again, pointed out broken a part that needs to be repaired.

i know he is sovereign, jehovah jirah, loving, patient, my overseer, constant companion, faithful, the Almighty, my healer, my shelter, my shield… ps 91 says he commands his angels to guard me in all my ways, he is my rescuer, my satisfaction… my Lord.

Then why is there even room for the evil one to infiltrate? blah. he sucks. just plain sucks. He can suck all he wants.. hes conquered- I belong to Someone else.. he can take a hike.

Today in seeking his face for peace.. I stumbled upon this verse. It was from one of Pastor Tony Folgio’s “read the bible in a year” devotionals that i get in the junker email. i dont even remember what the title of the devo was.. but this passage literally captivated me. captivation to the point of God literally speaking to me..inwardly. words jumping off the page type (or off the screen: )  )

1Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.

 2 See, darkness covers the earth
and thick darkness is over the peoples,
but the LORD rises upon you
and his glory appears over you.

 3 Nations will come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

 4 “Lift up your eyes and look about you:
All assemble and come to you;
your sons come from afar,
and your daughters are carried on the arm.

 5 Then you will look and be radiant,
your heart will throb and swell with joy;
the wealth on the seas will be brought to you,
to you the riches of the nations will come.

 Isaiah 60:1-5

I quickly wrote this verse down. funny. I’ve been prayin for daylight, wealth..(not necessarily financial), and for people to be drawn to his light..  He told me this once before that people would be drawn to me. when he’d pointed out discipleship as an avenue of service. I am excited to see what comes.
