Where do I begin, I am not sure. Here goes.
The Lord has been speaking to Chris and I about change. Change (to make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of (something) different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone) is often thought of something little-maybe with your lifestyle, diet, or other simple things. But I knew from the moment God said it-it wasn't going to be small. It was going to be BIG.
Bigger than me, bigger than my family, just big. I can't really say much about what is coming, because the Lord doesn't want me to do that. I do feel like He wants me to share this:
All of us, whether we choose to believe it or not-have to change our thinking. We are here for GOD's will to come to pass, not our own. Yes, God wants to see us blessed and all the good things that go along with His plan. I think sometimes we go along with our own plans and NEVER involve God in our day to day goings on. I am certainly guilty of this.
I wake up and rush everyone to school, clean the house, talk on the phone, run errands and I may pray (in thought) while doing. But I'm not spending time with Him. Listening for what He might want me to do that day-what I SHOULD be doing. God sees that I have a billion things that are somewhat important to do, but HE is waiting...waiting for me to come to HIM. To sit at His feet and hear what He would have to say. For all the worries to be washed away before they even start.
Where are you? Are you sitting at the computer just waiting for God to answer? Trust me, I do it. I think..oh..maybe so and so will have some real great thing to say. But am I waiting for HIM to talk to me? Yes, I believe that God will use others and their blogs to be a blessing. For me, I am being convicted that in these coming days, my heart is to hear from HIM!
My family and I have big things to do for God and while I want so desperately to elaborate, I cannot.
For my family, this will be life changing for us. Bigger than we could have thought. And it keeps ringing......"Robin, I have something big, don't be afraid, I am right here. It's gonna be a hard road, but in the end...you will see me move in such a big way that this will look little afterward. Are you ready? I am..take my hand...it's coming! Get Ready!".
I don't know all the details of what God is doing. I just know that for the first time in our marriage, we both heard from God-loud and clear-and it was amazing. We both knew something was coming. Change is coming. And I am a little fearful, to be honest, but I have to give that to God too. Along with all the things I worry about daily. Worry (Matt. 6:34, Matt. 6:27, Psalm 39:5-7) is not of Him. So, I am not in Him when I worry.
Right now I am listening to "We cry Out". I believe if you will listen, God will speak to you, right where you are. I humble myself and give all of me to HIM-will you?
This January, our church Faith Landmarks, is fasting for 21 days. I know this is our starting point. I hope you will pray about joining us. It's not only a corporate journey, but a personal one. Fasting always brings about change, not only physically, but personally. You can read more about it Here. I am starting my year out anticipating to hear specific things from God. I will post more, when I am able. In the meantime, allow God to flood your day with HIS presence!
Psalm 39:5-7 Amplified
Behold, You have made my days as [short as] handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing in Your sight. Truly every man at his best is merely a breath! Selah [pause, and think calmly of that]!
Surely every man walks to and fro--like a shadow in a pantomime; surely for futility and emptiness he is in turmoil; each one heaps up riches, not knowing who will gather them.
And now, Lord, what do I wait for and expect?
My hope and expectation are in You!
Please stop by this website and listen to Beautiful....oh....this sums it up for me!!!

Hey girly! This is a great post and so true. God really impressed upon me to up my time with Him and has been waking me up at the...ahem..butt crack of dawn...to do so. I'm also excited about this fast. I'm ready to hear from God. Change is hard, I abhor it. But somehow when you know it's God...you can't ignore it and it always works out. God Bless you! Love ya always!
By the way my word verification was tratchip..just thought that was funny!
