July 4
Unlike previous days, we didn’t do
very much today. After our meeting with Gracie, she let me use her computer so
that I could pay one of my bills. Once I got on I was a bit overwhelmed with
all the e-mails and facebook messages I had to respond to. I decided to save
updating my blog for later because I didn’t have much time. I miss everyone a
lot but I kind of like being away from everything for a while. Being
“disconnected” from all of that has allowed me to focus a lot more on what I
came here to do. My eyes have been fixed on Jesus and I am learning more and
more about his heart each day. Part of that is just learning to be sensitive to
God’s spirit, being patient and compassionate…realizing that it’s not at all
about me. It’s been a very humbling journey as I come face to face with my
weaknesses, but when I am weak, He is strong and He is able to work through
that. I’m learning a lot more about myself…my strengths, my weak points…but
mostly how my heart lines up with His. As I’ve said before, my heart is still
under renovation. When I leave this place I’m going to be a different person,
but I trust that God is preparing my heart for something greater.
