Ultimate TEACHER!

We truly have the ultimate teacher!!! I cannot even begin to describe in words how much I have learned over the past week and a half, but I can recognize that God IS good. God IS faithful. God IS holy.

As I rejoiced in the sweet freedom God revealed to me last week, I am continually rocked by more and more of his truths and presence every day. The best part about being in this season of life is that I am beginning to notice when I haven't been with God/been myself with God if it's more than 24 hours...My fruits were a definite clue to this face before but now it is something that I feel....a desire for more...and a receiving when I seek and pursue his love and trust. I trust you Father. Proclaiming that over any lies or circumstances going on in life is the best thing that I can do right now. No matter where I think or want my life to go (doesn't matter), God's got it! He's got me! I am in awe of his powerful hand in EVERY situation and amazed by his sense of humor more and more these days. Certain situations that come about during my days I just have this beautiful image of God just smiling and giggling and wondering what my next move will be. How sweet that we are blessed with a choice. And how much sweeter is the song we will sing, if we choose HIM! I choose you Awesome Father!!!

He tells me to thank him. He tells me to rejoice in his holy name-no matter what I feel like!!!! OH how I have learned about feelings this past semester. I am in a search of how God created us to act and live out as women of God, in battle with how I and many other women actually respond to many situations. I will definitely have more to say on this later!! Obedience is necessary for the sweet relationship Jesus wants to have with us.

I got a word from someone a few weeks ago and just really had to visualize Jesus staring back at me and picturing what he is telling me and proclaiming over my life as he does this. WOW-the differences between my thoughts and his!!!!! There has been huge transformation in my heart over this new identity in the past year..semester, but mostly WEEK!

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who bring good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!" -Isaiah 52:7

I used to think blogging was silly and the reason why I have a journal and friends :) But when it was recently revealed to me that what goes on in my mind-discerning the thoughts of Jesus and my relationship with him-was not always portrayed by my words, I realized the importance of sharing!!!! Another friend pointed out tonight that no matter how much we are learning (soooo good, don't get me wrong!) but it only goes as far as to how far we take it and who we take it to. So, Lord it is my prayer that through my experiences and sharing, I can encourage others with the abundance that you are teaching me.

I have been faced with so many situations this week that just show pure lies being lived out, among myself and others around me. It makes me so sad that this happens and I just proclaim freedom over it again Father. Bless the truths that go through our community and spiritual walk-rid of Satan's attempts to draw us away from you. Through this though I have come to realize that NOTHING ELSE MATTERS!!!! We have this life on earth to glorify God and we make such a mess of it-at least I do. Everything is not as complex as we make it. It is simple. [For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. -Galatians 5:6] Let this be our prayer, Lord!!!! Let us dwell in your sweet, sweet presence all the days of our lives, but especially today-right now Father! Better is one day in your courts than thousand elsewhere. Truth.

Thank him for being our ultimate teacher!!! We can rest in this alone.
