It's been a while since I've written, and even now, I don't have much time. It seems I go in spurts. I get really passionate, and really deep really quickly and then things slow down, and so do I. In an effort to counteract that as part of this new phase in my life, I'm trying to stick to writing.
The last couple of weeks, I've felt that I have drifted a little. There haven't been any emotional highs, or new ministry meetings, or new revelations. I'm just hanging out... Which makes me feel far away from God. I know that I'm not, I know he's here with me all the time and I can still see his tangible presence daily. It's like when you're in a relationship with someone for so long that you can sit together on long car rides and not feel the need to fill the silence. We're just hanging out, enjoying the ride.
For posterity's sake, here are some of the things that have come across my mind lately that I am praying about and seeking God's will in:
-Mission trip to Haiti. I am pursuing a short term mission trip to Haiti in the fall. I am pretty confident that God has this planned for me. I've got a friend that wants to go with me, my husbands full support, and child care. My prayer is that God would supply the funding for the trip, and that he would help me to see what his purpose for me going is. That I would be able to get out of the way so that He could work through me.
-My new ministry at church. That God would raise up the people that we need. That they would be willing to roll up their sleeves and dig deep for the broken hearted.
-For contentment. I'm always looking for what's next. That God would give me "peace for the moment" that I could appreciate where I am and what I'm doing.
-For my family. That will all these big, grand ideas, that I wouldn't neglect my duties in raising and nurturing the precocious gifts God has entrusted me.
