I look forward to...

... the summer

i have been thinking about missions for awhile now, ever since before last summer... and now comes the time to start seriously thinking about it, and going through the logistics of finding an organization, a place to go, a time to go.

i have a question - who else has been thinking or is already set to go somewhere this summer? please let me know, so that we can start praying for each other NOW in preparation...

... pure and uninterested love

a concept that has come up in my readings on madam guyon and fenelon. even more great christians to read about... but this concept of pure love and uninterested love that only grows in our walks with Christ

... a life that is abandoned in Christ

yearning to know what that means - life of abadonment -

"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavey to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God."

how does purity play in? why does the word purity cut so deeply throughout everything that i read or discuss with others? i look forward to post-exams when i get to talk to a dear younger sister, whom i don't really get to know much about yet, but she shared about how she desires to be a woman of God, and that purity plays a role..

i am SO excited to start talking to her about this, and sharing what the Lord has been teaching me and her separately, surely to help spur each other on as we individually discover who the God wants us to become!

... pneumatos prayer and praise tomorrow night ...

i missed informal worship night with ccfers - and my heart breaks because i could not physically be there, but i hear the goodness that came forth, and i experience my sisters' joys. praise the Lord that we have access to the same Spirit, that we may fully join in each other's joys and carry one another's burdens!

AMEN
