Invite Him In.

yes, please. I was just reminded via this daily email, of a time when I let Jesus go to the depth of my heart, and how He healed what was so broken. The mess I had made, and yet He came in, embraced me, and started the process of forgiveness and growth. I heart him.

Expectantly?

I have started writing for a statewide publication called Real Women. My article in the magazine focuses on worshiping God during a season of wait....that wait called singleness.

I went to the reservoir Saturday to spend time with God and prayed He'd give me a word to write about. I am a prideful person. I'd love to write about my perspective on it, but He was quick to tell me to write about what His word says, for it is the only truth.

I was in the old testament (I LOVE THE OT!), and was reminded of the word he had given me a few years back in a tough time:

He humbled you and let you be hungry, and fed you with manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you understand that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD.

It goes on to say that he is bringing me in a new land, much of what he's promised me recently via other areas of scripture. If you back up before these verses, scripture says "For the Lord your God is a FAITHFUL God." Faithful = Trustworthy. And then in Micah 7:7 it says for us to wait expectantly upon the Lord.

I don't know about you, but knowing how much God loves me (sheesh, He poured grace over me), and knowing He's trustworthy, I'm pretty excited about the amazing plan coming my way. And I am choosing to wait expectantly!

In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation." -Psalm 5:3
