This is the day the Lord has made! I WILL rejoice and be glad in it! Psalm 118:24
Oh daily blogging how I have missed you greatly!
I think of you often!
I do really!
I have a new app on my phone to keep all my ideas and daily blessings in!
I have been creating a lot of new art to reflect the change inside this heart of mine!
I have even started a few more books, no not reading silly, writting!
Blogging is my true love and I must come back to you!
Ok enough of the silliness! But it's true, I LOVE to write, journal, create and blogg!
So what am I thankful for today? Well where do I start? I need to recap the last few months, but I'll spare you all of that reading!
I feel most thankful right now today in this moment for my renewed faith, and since of purpose. Not that I lost my faith. It feels more ALIVE than ever! I feel this song welling up inside of me! My soul is singing and praising and it's overflowing !
I find myself singing to the radio, listening to my favorite Pandora station ( I have a few, Elevation Worship, Desperation Worship, Chris Tomlin and Bebo Norman)! And tears are just flowing, happy, wonderous, redemptive, healing, longing, so many emotions all at once.
I find myself just wanting to stay in that moment of worship, wanting to read more of Gods word, know the Bible inside and out, createing all of this art, poetry, it just keeps coming!
When I must leave this place I remind my self that this life really truly is temporary and one day soon, I will never have to leave that moment! I was created to live in that moment for eternity but without any of the tears!
Then suddenly death is no longer that scary, the fear of it resides, not that I'm in a hurry!
But when that time comes i will live forever in that moment of worship!!! My heart longs to be there!
So while I'm still here waiting for my departure on this one way tickett to a place far more glorious than Hawaii, I will stay in the Word of God, I will saturate my heart with the songs of God, and my mouth will be an instrament of praise!
I had a beautiful moment this weekend at the Women of Faith conference, actually many but one in particular I will share now.
During the worship we were singing a song by David Crowder called "how He Loves us" i will place link at bottom.
I just started sobbing, I was in the row behind everyone in the group that came, I started praying for each one by name, specific prayers. You know sometimes you just uttera few littel prayers and sometimes you pray a littel more and seldom do I pray untill I'm so overcome with emotion that I literally just fall to pieces, crying, pouring out my heart to God, praying for freedom, praying for healing, for restoration! It was almost as The Lord had given me a word specific for each one! Then I could picture Jesus himself walking up to each one, hugging them, whispering in their ear, kissing their cheek, looking at them with this reassurance and compassion like I had never seen before.
Singing these words
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy
I could see each one of us bending but not breaking! A hurricane is a strong and mighty force, His mercy is THAT strong and fierce! WOW! I have heard this song and sang it numerous times! But I never saw it this way, He loves us, loves me fiercley and passisonately! In Him my roots are planted strong! And if His hurricane can't blow me over then neither can the schemes of man or the enemy!!
I prayed and prayed, cried and wept, my heart was broken for each one of these ladies, their heart aches, their losses, their struggels, my heart wept with thanksgiving for the persaverance and the VICTORY that is theres and is coming!
The compassionate love of our Savior , genuine, sincere with no strings attatched, all ready He gave His life and now He offers us, offers me compassion.
This is why I"m thankful today, I am rejoicing today,
He is jealous for me,
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realize just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.
his affection for me, for us is more beautiful than I can ever comprehend.
Be blessed, have a wonderful day, and never forget how passionately He LOVES YOU!
Love,
Destiny
Enjoy this song!
