Long Time No Post

When you don't have the internet at your house for 5 days, it's hard to update your blog. So after an hour on the phone with a lovely girl that may or may not be on the show "Outsourced", our problem has been resolved. Yay for the internet!

I am reading the book Forgotten God by Francis Chan, and I must say it is phenomenal. He is such an amazing man of God who speaks truth and has a genuine love for God and for people. And I firmly believe only 3 chapters in that if the church spent some time in the book of Acts and knew that that is God's design for the church through the power of the Holy Spirit, the church would look DRASTICALLY different than it does today. There are certainly Spirit-filled people, and even the occasional Spirit-filled church in America, but as a while, we don't live as if we are followers of GOD ALMIGHTY, creator of Heaven and Earth! I include myself in that. But I feel the Spirit moving... and for the first time I am responding to His call, His beckoning to a higher and clearer way of living. He is so good. I have no idea how long I'll be here in earth, but I do know that I want to do as much good as I can to as many people as I can for as long as God allows. I want His love, mercy, grace and power to consume me and ooze out of me in a way that is contagious to those around me. 

I'm really thankful for my life right now. While I have not escaped the daily struggles of life and arrows from the enemy, God is so good. My relationships are so rich, from my family to my husband to my friends, old and new. Life has taken a turn for Seth and I the past month or so, and we are now in a huuuge transition period. But God paved the way and we are focused on Him and what He wants for us, what He created us for. Living with hope, faith, love and passion is truly the way. I'm so blessed. He is so good. Amen
