You Are Here!

Several weeks ago, my pastor spoke about the topic "Where do I belong?," a question that I have been asking myself since graduation. I didn't get much of anything out of the message and was still left wondering. I ended up goggling it. I then took a personality test that told me I belong in London, England. It still wasn't quite what I was looking for. I've been getting frustrated by my lack of direction. I have felt alone and out of place. Suddenly, God showed me the Truth, something I had been missing all along. I had been think of this the entirely wrong way. What matters is that "I am Here." This is where I am. I am in the present at this present location. God may take me elsewhere in the future, and I need to be listening for that. Right now, I've got to use what I have. I've got to be used where I am. Everywhere that we are needs to be useful for His good. I will continue to be an outsider for as long as I choose to be on the outside. I have turned "being" into a passive act. Being, is indeed a verb, it's what you do. While I am "being" here, I need to be BEING Christ, BEING Love. I was created for more than to just consume oxygen and inhabit space. I am More.

URwGwU!

Shavout

The Lord has brought me thus far.

Now is a time that I am thankful for this holiday. I have been so lost. I've been so un-thankful for what I have. I have been looking for answers. It's a great time to recognize all of Gods blessings. The law itself is a blessing because it shows us that we cannot make it on our own.

He has brought us here, from here we will go. It is through what He has given us that what He will give will come. I am thankful for all that God will provide. I am thankful for all that God will do through me.

I am a firstfruit, here to multiply. Great things will come.

These early fruits assure later harvest.

I need to be working to help bring the harvest of the latter days.
