I serve a really great God.

WHOA.

Seriously, my amazing amazing amazing God?! You are wayyyy too good to me. I am just blown away today at how God ornately chooses to orchestrate my life. It's so beautiful to be aware of! A few days of pain and confusion, followed by oh so much joy! I am just elated that I get to serve such a magnificent God... One who calls me His daughter, His bride, His FRIEND. I am humbled that I will forever get to sit at His feet, bow before Him, and call Him my Father. I had the best conversation today with my lovely mentor and came to the conclusion that passion and sound doctrine absolutely go hand in hand. I could believe all the right truths and say all the right Bible verses and go to church every Sunday and still be SO empty. Because the truth is this~ life without passion and joy found in Jesus alone is absolutely not fulfilling. While there are days when I want to give up, throw in the towel, be done... There is always joy around the corner! I get to rest in the fact that there is FREEDOM found in my God. He gave us the Holy Spirit, and I always want to be aware of how He is working in my life as well as the lives around me. I have the freedom to dance before Him, kneel before Him, sing before Him, love before Him, be passionate before Him, worship before Him. To me, worship doesn't always mean standing stick straight in a pew and never allowing the Holy Spirit to work in my heart and completely overtake who I am. Worshipping Him means complete abandon.

Ah, my heart is full tonight. It's full, friends.
