I love to write. Intertwined in the fluidity of the keys under my fingers as I put to words and text the things that are swirling within me, the dreams being formed like clay, the moments experienced being captured, and the reflections of a God who is oh so fully Emmanuel "God with us" its my form of art. Some are musicians, some artists... I write... and I like it, so, so much. Even with the evidence of a year, I write in other forms. Tonight, as I was getting ready for bed, I have been reflecting on this January. On a morning commute to work, one of the radio DJ's made a comment about the "87 days of January" which in fact made me laugh and yet this January of 2020 has been one I will not soon forget. Last night, my church and 450+ churches join for a kick off to celebrate the beginning of a 30 day prayer and fasting for our city and each person. Already, so so much has happened... and I'm sure there will be weathers to storm and yet, I am deeply loving the moments where God shows up in an unforeseen way.... and already he has done that three times in two days! This month feels different already. An awakening within me to new levels and depths is already in motion.
For this year... I feel like this year - 2020 is two words:
.....UNSTOPPABLE
and
SOAR.....
.... so much Holy Spirit is teaching me right now... one being with my job and what it looks like to stand under the kind of administration that I have currently - and he told me what that looks like, which I had to exercise today--- through not my lead, it was dramatically so... and then tonight, I watched this video and it was the concepts Holy Spirit was teaching me.
Here's to a spectacular year of writing, hiking adventures with Jesus, laughter and growth lived in community, and adventurously, expectant God things!
