Wow,

God is blowing my mind, day after day. Everyday is a new adventure with him! Adventures keep life more worth living, even if they seem to be really hard and horrible it is worth it to go through hard times, because afterwards you have grown in some area. This week in class we have a speaker who lives in Hollywood and does ministry there. Evangelism is what he is teaching on this week but he has such a chill and relax way of teaching that I feel like I get to listen to stories for 4 hours! All of his stories about evangelism that he has shared with us have turned out with one person or groups of people coming to know God. Radical evangelism, but not by following a formula or pattern but from his relationship with God and listening to God's voice. Towards the end of class he had us pray and ask God if there was any religiousity in our hearts, or control areas that would hinder God's love in our lives. After we sat and prayed God opened the heavens and his peace and love came and hit my heart in a deep place. Learning to rest in God, is one of the most enjoyable seasons in my opinion. If I would shut up, sit and listen to what God wants to tell me, then way less striving would be in my heart. Rest is so good and necessary! Well this afternoon I am going to go in the prayer room and study the word and read some of my books, I hope you all enjoy the rest of the day: August 10, 2010.

Be Blessed!
