hmmm.....now what?

So...i know I haven't written in forever....the last two weeks have been quite crazy. The few hours of sleep were quite precious and appreciated. Although very exhausted, the Lord has helped me persevere through yet another challenging few weeks of class. So i found myself now finally at home, so excited to be done with school and on Spring Break, but now what? How do I go from running none stop for the last two months, to not really having something to do every minute? ( I don't know, that may be a relief to some, but for me, it's a little bit of a 180.) Anyway, i'm so happy to be spending time with my family...but my hope is that I will be also be able to use this time to dwell with Lord, and enjoy Him, and not be complacent. I think I just need to remember a good Psalm here: Ps. 46:10: "Be still and know that I am God." Why do I have such a hard time with that??? I don't know...hopefully I'll be able to rest in knowing that His is in control...and because He IS IN CONTROL, I can be still.
Lord, I know You are here....use me this week. Help me to rest in Who You Are.....Be my constant Joy....You are amazing!

Freedom Reigns in this place.....

Wow....is all i can say. What an incredible weekend the Lord has blessed me with in Chicago at the Beth Moore conference. He speaks so loud and soft through her, it amazes me everytime. God definitely moved in my heart and is doing a work! For that i'm so excited.....He is the healer of broken hearts and captive minds...and has the power to set prisoners free.

Freedom reigns in this place, my heart, O Lord.....Your Freedom.
You are singing Holy, Holy, Holy over me......
My desire is to walk ever more in Your Truth, so that the unexplainable power of Christ can
live, move and be in me.

Hidden in You

So...I haven't written in forever....i know. But it's times like now, when i'm stuck in the bottom of a basement, working on project all day and night, that i feel the need to remember the Lord's goodness in my life. I know that He is giving me the strength to push through this, it's just tough....but then i think about where i would be if i wasn't be challenged to do things i wouldn't do on my own. (Not writing this...) I believe that the Lord is using this rather stressful time of my life to push me move closer to Him...although it is a struggle. I am so thankful that I have this time to share with Him, when i feel like i'm alone in this, i am really Hidden in Him....in His power, strength, peace, and joy....Lord, then let me cling to You...for right now, when i am weak..you are strong.
