stirring up my soul...

I've been feeling a stirring of the Holy Spirit in me the past couple days.
Something huge is going to happen! I know it!

I've been praying that God would transform me and use me to further His Kingdom, and I really feel like he is calling me to do more. More than I can imagine.
Especially because I want more of Him. I wan't to experience God in my everyday life, and He is telling me how.
So I am praying.
And waiting.

I know he is going to answer me.
In the mean time, I am extremely overwhelmed, but in a good way.
The kind of overwhelming that makes me weak in the knees knowing that God has called me out of darkness and into His light, and into a beautiful relationship with Him!


I read this quote earlier this week that really touched my heart.
"God became one of us, so that we would become like Him."
I really do want to become more like him.

I don't want to just know truth and never experience Him, and I don't want to experience Him but never have truth(His word).
I want both in my life, so that I can lead others to Him. By living in such a way that God is always showing up in my life and showing me truth.
And God's truth is always being followed by His presence working in my life.

The thought of having both in my life exites me.
It's time to start putting my faith into action and see what God is going to do.
It's time!!
I want the Word to become alive when I share it with others! And I want people to become alive through God's word.

I'm eager to read more of the Bible, because I am eager to share.
I know God will be faithful to helping me understand Him more.

I want my life to change in such a way that I don't mind where I live, and whom I live with.
I want my life to change in such a way that it changes the way people in my home live.


I want to be happy when walk through the doors of my home, not because I have what I want here on this earth, but because I have what my hurting soul has been longing for, a fulfillment of God.

I want to be happy to serve my husband and my family.
I want my face to glow, just like Moses when he encountered God.


I want a soul that is chronically stirring.
I pray this for my friends and for my family.

May your souls always stir with God's presence and so much that you can't ignore the feeling, so much that you overflow with his presence and glory.
