It's a new day and an exciting one :) It's been a hard first month or so adjusting to being off of night watch, but the hand of the Lord is very present and tangible in my life. I KNOW that I have heard His voice, I know that He is still speaking and that there are wonderful, exciting adventures ahead :) God is faithful, and soooo kind!
He is bringing so many things together. There have been pieces that He was forming in me and they have sprouted and grown together beautifully! I don't see the grand view of the "garden" He's cultivating in me, but I sense things moving into place, shifting, sliding; like the clink of a door when it locks in place, or the sound of the new crisp puzzle piece locking in place with another piece. Ever so subtle, but delightfully pleasing. I "hear" the sounds of closure and completion to places in my life, though I haven't seen the fruition or the actual culmination of things YET.
Maybe it's better said like this: I'm a child that hears my father at work in His workshop. I know He is making a special gift or surprise for me. It's been a while of waiting and I have told Him all of what I want and would like. In anticipation, I hear the clinking and the tapping. I have seen Him take material in to His shop, but the time is near when something will finally be produced and presented to me. I'm excited. I have an smidge of an idea of what He has in store, but I really don't have a clue :)
It is a brighter day, and I am looking forward to the days ahead. I have a longing, groaning ache in my heart that is accompanied with a rising joy. Joy is rising from what used to be ashes in my heart, and the ache propels me into God's heart. Aching is a gift that makes it evident that my heart is alive. I pray that God will give me grace to obey that hunger and satisfy my longings in Him. Jesus come be the love of my life.
