My Favorite Time of Day

My favorite moments are once everyone is sent off to school or work. It's just me in my pj's (still) sippin the last half of my coffee. Knowing that I am all alone for a short time, I hurry up and put on some worship LOUD, to drown out my off key singing even from myself. Sometimes I mop the floors and do house stuff and other times I just get caught up in feeling God's presence. Singing, praying, crying, standing, sitting, kneeling....in my pajamas sometimes next to a mop and a bucket. It's only a sight God could love.  It's been really great and I have been kind of jealous over that time. If John is running late and is still home during what should be "my time", I get a bit irritable. I am almost like kicking him out the door. :)


Here are just a few of the things God gave me today.

I felt so humbled that I could be anywhere in the world living in the consequences of my poor choices, but instead I was here. I was just amazed at the amazingness of God. In the truest sense of that word "amazing", unlike how it is overused nowadays.

After feeling so loved and accepted in His presence, I felt so sad for others who do not get to have that, because I know that they have that need, desire and longing. All their choices in life prove that they are seeking for that ultimately. But they settle for lesser things, lesser lovers and are always left continuously unfulfilled. Since blatant outward idol worship is so so common and visible here, it's even more obvious.

Then I think about the scripture that fuels the mandate of our lives. With His Blood he has purchased man for God from every tribe and nation. Then I feel this sense of injustice and it creates a drive in me to go reclaim the souls that are rightfully belonging to God already. Knowing that John is on the streets evangelizing at the same moment, I pray into whatever situation he is in believing for God's blessing on it because I know He wants it more than we do.

I am thankful that we have hit a season now where I feel more in my role, right, and responsibility to be the intercessor over our family and the work God's doing. In other seasons,  with language lessons, homeschooling, and John working all inside the small house, those important times of prayer weren't happening with freedom, fervor or frequency. 

I am feeling a shifting in the spirit. We are all set up and adjusted and completely focused now. I am believing that as the years as days, we are entering in to our 3rd day and we are expecting God to do big, powerful, resurrecting, glorious things.

Thanks for loving, encouraging, giving and praying. You share in all the fruit.of the work. God bless you.
