update

so i have not written in forever.

God has done so much in my life.  I can’t tell you how awesome it has been!  I truly love learning for the Lord and living for Him.  I wish I had more time to share all the stories that I have experience but unfortunately I don’t.  Hopefully I will be able to write all of them down sometime.

I do have two stories that I would like to share:

This past weekend was Pre-The Call and Birmingham Prayer Furnace at my church.  It was absolutely amazing.  Lou Engle spoke about many different things.  But my story is what happened Saturday night during Nightwatch.  I was dancing for the Lord and I got this story/vision in my head.  Basically it went like this:  We all get pulled in different directions and get distracted.  When we say that we have had enough and come before God and ask “will you dance with me?” he will say “yes!” every time.  He even says yes as you pull away again from Him and then return to Him.  It’s just an amazing feeling to know that He is always there.  We tend to forget that and just give up but the Lord is here with you and wants to dance with you.   I don’t know if this is for anyone who reads this but it was definitely for me b/c He keeps reminding me this every time I spend just a minute or more with Him.

My second story is from last night.  I am in a bible study and we are studying Song of Solomon.  Let me tell you, it’s the best thing ever!  We pretty much go off of Mike Bickle’s study and just analyze a few verses at a time.  We started analyzing part of this verse: “Like a lily among thorns is my darling among maidens.” (sos 2:2). This is what we got out of it.  Lilies do not have thorns but like a rose which does have thorns, we are willing to get cut and bleed just to get that beautiful rose.  We are the rose and Jesus was willing to do anything to get to us and he chose to get cut by the thorns and bleed for us.  This is more awesome… He wore a crown of thorns as he was dieing on the cross.  So he basically wore our sins on the cross!  I just thought this was so cool because He is the only one who would do that for any of us.  Now the lily represents purity and a “lily among thorns” is us who are believers and have become pure.  We are the lily among thorns b/c thorns represents sin.  So we stand out among the sin of the world b/c we love the Lord and want more of him.  “Darling among maidens” is pretty much the same thing.  You stick out from the others b/c you are pure and precious to the Lord.  He delights in you and wants more of you.

Well that’s pretty much all I had to say.

Have a wonderful day!
