You won't relent until you have it all...

This journey has been full of so many lessons.. too many to count, really and each one leaves me speechless. I feel the presence of God drawing me closer. I can hear him saying "you are almost there." I can visualize Him holding me in his arms as  I wince painfully as I leave each part of myself behind that I have been clinging to for so long. I have witnessed his miracles. I have seen signs & wonders.. yet I am so quick to forget. So quick to abandon my trust in him. So quick to lean on my own abilities & understanding.  My soul screams out that He is worthy, above all else.. and I feel like this is the only piece of knowledge within me that I can say with absolute certainty.

I want to transition well.. in this new phase of life and I'm so thankful for the journey thus far. I have most definitely been in process from cocoon to butterfly.. I can feel my body preparing to break out and take flight and use all of the tools that have been so graciously given to me, and know that this specific time is a test to see just how far I am willing to go with him. Today, led by the Spirit I gain the courage to stand up and say the answer to that question is, Lord... I will go to the ends of the earth as witness to your love, your grace, your PROVISION, your will, your character. From now until forever. I will not back down. I will not lose faith. I WILL NOT lean upon myself but instead I will press into you with everything I am. I will not be insecure. I will not be quieted. I WILL speak of your goodness to anyone and everyone. This is how far I will go, and God I pray it is enough. I trust you for YOU ARE WORTHY.

Worship this morning rocked me.. and I am amazed by the power of His presence that even in the midst of dealing with the distraction of an unhappy, whiny Bella that the words sang out jumped right into my heart and took up residence. Thank you Lord!


You won't relent until You have it all
My heart is Yours

I'll set You as a seal upon my heart
As a seal upon my arm
For there is love that is as strong as death
Jealousy demanding as the grave
Many waters cannot quench this love

Come be the fire inside of me
Come be the flame upon my heart
come be the fire inside of me
Until You and I are one
