who definately gave me a EXTERMLY great confidence booster...
...and even though things are changing... I'm so glad that something NEVER change...lol
When it was time to go it was super hard to say goodbye... It's not everyday that I experience the mere joy and sooooooooooooo much LOVE. Tears streamed down my face as I turned and I walked away towards the house... The only thing I could say is... "why, Abba?!?!" "Why do we loose that when we grow up?" Why does that can of LOVE come across as confusing, weird, outgoing, awkward, unwanted, mis-understood, over-powering...oooo and did i mention confusing? Yep..." "Why is so easy to hurt each other and so hard to genuinely LOVE someone?" And like always, I felt longing, loving, sympathetic eyes, and mighty arms of comfort just hold me they rest of my way home...
Idk, where I'm headed or have a clue of where I'm going...and for the first time in a VERY long time a new leave of insecurity clouds my vision and judgement. It scary as h**l! (whatever earthly h**l is...) Finding myself in places of rejection and loneliness that I have NEVER experienced before. Finding my pillow more wet then usually because tears seem to be the only way that I can communicate. And that LOVE that I crave and longing for is only in One person... yes I KNOW THIS... But I find myself wishing, longing, hoping, that I could find type of LOVE with skin on, you know people and just limited to children under the age of 4...
I really don't know who to described what I actually learned for this lesson, this facet lesson, but goodness that type of LOVE is so needed, and soooo lacking not just in my life but in the world in general... and to think that I learned this lesson @ the park with to most lovable 2yr old in the world... PRICELESS.
until next time...
I have made the biggest step forward that I think that God has ever allowed me to make and I am beyond excited. Today I took a HUGE step backwards and went to the last place I was majorly shattered. Ironically it was at a church. For to long I've been in pain. Carrying to much condemnation, anger, amazement (the bad kind!) and just utter disgust for this particular denomination and this person. I was challenged during prayer time that I had a couple of days ago, about forgiveness. Forgiveness is such a hard concept to grab a hold of and walk out in. I mean, people in my life, my own family members have told me for the longest time... "Forgive and forget, it's easy... God does the rest." That statement left me dumbfound EVERY time I heard that...and I wanted to slap (the living-day-lights out of...) EVERY single person that said it me. Not only was the response heartless, but they didn't have a clue about the situation or how BADLY this situation hurt me... and changed my prospective on ministry FOREVER!
BUT GOD... is (beyond) INCREDIBLE!!! Today, I went back to that place where I was defeat, overcome, abandoned and left fire-less... and I stood in that place and I was totally free. I wasn't bound. The wound was not oozing puss, guts, or blood... I was whole. I stood there humbly as the daughter of a King...and I was complete and healed...
Today was a scary day; a victorious and marvelous day. (insert picture of me GLOWING here....) Idk, if I will ever go back and worship at that particular fellowship again, but I do have renewed faith in the fact that God can use any situation for His glory. I have renewed faith that this journey of tears isn't all for nothing, and that this recovering General has not seen that last of her orders...not yet;)
I know that this event was meant to put my fire out forever but as I left that fellowship today...
I saw coals, red and hot being stirred up again...
Until next time:]
