Revelation of the Spirit - #28 He's waiting with open arms
It's good to be back here again. I've truely missed this, but I needed to find out for myself if God was really still in me. I had quite a big test. For a week I went to Disney World in Florida with my high school marching band. And can I just say I've never been more tired in my entire life. We never stopped going and going and going. It was up at seven to eat breakfast and off to the parks til 10 or 11 that night. So it was a test to see even if I wasn't doing a daily devotion if the Lord would really shine through my heart. And I can't say I passed but I can say I know for a fact that the Lord My God and Savior is living in my heart. I had more struggles that week than I've ever had before in my life, physcially and mentally. I was so exhausted and wanted to give up completely. But then as I saw around me the wonders God had made and how present He was, though others could barely see him, it was like I was staring him straight in the face.
My favorite things about Disney weren't the beautiful rides, princess, the giant Cinderella castle or the wonderful firework spectacular they put on every night. For me it seeing the sunset everyday. To feel the warmth of that sun on my face every day kept me going. Feeling that warmth was like feeling his love. He kept me knowing he was there and that I could go on. And every time I needed him, he was waiting with his arms of love open wide. He was ready to embrace me with an embrace never known in this world. That sun on my face and arms and feet everyday was his embrace.
The Lord is always waiting for you with his arms wide open. Even if you've been away from him for years and years. He's waiting for you and to remind that his love is always there no matter what we go through.
P.S.
I have two prayer requests :) First on March 27-30 the Pendel Brass is taking a ministry weekend trip to Boston. And I ask you keep the band as a whole in your prayers and for me on Sunday morning. I was asked to give my testimony and I just ask you pray that the Lord would speak through me that day and that at least one person would see Christ in me. The second request is on May 1, 2008 at 730 pm in the Pottsville Area High School Auditorium I will have the biggest performance of my short music career and I just ask that you begin praying now that the Lord would prepare me for that day. And most of all that that day would be for His glory and not mine or anyone elses. That he in that high school auditorium would be honored with our offering of music.
I really missed blogging on here. So glad to be back!
Love to you all!
