Urgent Expectancy

The past few weeks have been amazing in so many different ways. Building family and community with my fellow staffers has been a complete joy. In this time as we meet up at various times I keep hearing a common word, expectancy. I guess there is no greater word to describe what has been in my heart, my soul and my mind.

But what is it we are expecting? The plain and simple of it is the Kingdom of God here on earth. To see the even greater things that Jesus said we would be able to see and do. God so wants to meet this desire. So as this group begins to grow and build and encourage and strengthen each other and as we keep our focus on Jesus I trully believe we will see this happen. As it was in the book of Acts they met together, fellowshipped with oneanother, with one purpose and one mind, perferring the other over himself so we will see God's Kingdom come and His will be done during this time.

A few years ago in a worship service the Lord had given me the words, urgent expectancy. As I relayed this to the pastor he felt I was to pray this out. What I felt was that God is ready and waiting to perform miracles through willing vessels in random places of everyday life. In other words as we walk throughout our day we would be doing what we saw the Father doing, healing the sick, feeding people, praying, speaking the Word, the list goes on. I saw all of this happening as I began to pray. God so wants to release into us what the Apostles experienced in the book of Acts.

According to Webster's urgent means: 1a. calling for immediate attention 1b. conveying a sense of urgency. and 2. urging insistently. With that expectancy 1. The act, action, or state of expecting (to look forward) 2a. something expected.

For me, this is what I desire, to do what I see my Father do, to speak what I hear the Father speak. He is waiting to release the even greater, my heart is filled with expectation to see it happen.

You call to me to come by Your side.

Before my eyes unfolds Your creation.

As You spoke each part into being it was completed.

Then You turned to me and said "now it is your turn".

I look into Your face of beauty, Your eyes so deep.

I hear what You want me to speak; I speak.

I see what You are wanting to create.

I join into the song of heaven.

Love of our Creator for His creation.

Love of His creation for her Creator.

Beginnings of a New Journey

Let me begin by saying I'm really not sure how my blog will look from day to day or week to week but like my title says I will be sharing some of my heart.
After seven years of being away God has brought me back to this place, Youth With A Mission, Kona, HI; to do what I love, discipling young people so that we can go out and disciple the nations. I am totally open to what the Lord has planned and can hardly wait to see what it all is as it unfolds before my eyes. By doing this blog, I hope to keep everyone up to date with the happenings here and abroad. I also hope to hear from you as you read my entries.

I had heard it said that all of mankind has a song in their hearts and it is our journey to discover just what our songs are. The Lord uses these songs to point us back to Him and the reality is that each one of us are the songs that are in God's heart. Zephaniah 3:17 reads "The Lord your God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you in His love, He will rejoice over you with singing." Amazing, His love, His mercy, His grace, His joy over us. I have discovered only part of my song and He speaks to me that there are so many more verses to be discovered. To me the chorus seems to be constant, "He loves me, He loves you, He loves the world". My desire is that not only do I discover more of my song but that I am able to help others to discover their songs too.

My heart sings a melody,

It plays it's strings a song of love

for my King.

As I sit quietly before the Lord,

It fills with His love for me and for others.

My heart sings His melody.
