Not yet, with little over three months left it is not time to resign to the downhill or the final stretch. I am confident that there is still much too come and so much more to be done in my life, my teams’ and the lives of the people we will meet along the way...
The process...
God started me on a process this year, he has begun a working in my heart and life like never before, it started with the decision to lay my future at his feet and thus far has been far more incredible, challenging, amazing and growing than I could have ever expected. I still do not know what the future beyond this year will hold but that is of little concern, this year isn’t over yet. It’s time to dive in again and to push too the very end. Not of this year but of the rest of my life. Because when you hand the keys over too Jesus he does not simply forget he has them, he intends to drive. We need to let him take the wheel, he will never force us and is always wanting to draw nearer to him but we need too chose this, every day we must turn our eyes back to him and gaze upon him. It is here in the pursuit of God that we find him and find that he is Holy, much too holy that we should not even be able to consider thinking about drawing near too him but here is the most incredible part. Oh that wonderful cross. Come and die, I bid you come and die. Because in dying too ourselves we find true life, life hidden with Christ, life in abundance and in following Jesus, there is a process of casting aside what the world values. Of walking into victory, freedom and all that God has for you. It is wonderful, but we must be willing because it’s a process and it’s not always comfortable, but it’s always worth it.
With that being said. I’m a sinner, but I’m a saved sinner. I mess up, but there is grace. I am sometimes unwilling, but there is more grace. I am learning too run to Christ with all my worries and problems, too turn too him first and as my first response.
I'm excited, because there is more to come there is always more when it comes to Jesus.
Our God does not live in temples made by human hands, nor does he need man too serve him, but we were created to be with him too draw near too him and he draws near to us and he is near, closer than your closest thought, wishing, wanting, waiting to be intimately involved in your life and there is no life apart from him “For in him we live and move and find our being” Acts 17 vs 28
