What Do You Want?

This has been a question posed to me in surround sound.

What do I want?

I want to be as close to God as He will let me everyday.

I want to love Him more.

I want the Bible to be alive IN me and TO me.

I want the enemy to run when they see the Light that is in me.

I want to use all the talents God's given me well.

I want to hear God's voice clearly.

I want to be an intercessor.

I want to be known in heaven.

I want to see myself completely the way Jesus sees me.

I want to write, sing, and dance all the serious and silly things He puts in my head-without fear.

I want to pray and see healing.

I want to minister to my husband.

I want to raise the next generation of lovers and warriors for God.

I want everything He has planned for me and MORE.

I don't even know why I am posting these. Maybe it's a subconscious cry for accountability. If I put out there what I really want, YOU'LL know and I'LL know and GOD will know. And I'll have to do something about it. It's scary, yet exhilarating.

What am I doing about it?

Something they've taught here in the simplest terms: What do you want and what are you doing about it? What is the plan of action you are taking to reach your goals? Simple, yet profound.

I used to think I was too busy, but instead I was avoiding growing up, what you might call maturing. Well, God pushed me this far (into Pineville, NC) out of the nest to see how I would fly. Oh, I've flopped and tumbled a lot. But I feel the wind lifting me...it's His mercy and grace to me...it's taking me up to see the world as a true eagle sees it. And I am.

Your hearts are as hard as a field
that has not been plowed.
If you change your ways,
you will produce good crops.
So plant the seeds of doing what is right.
Then you will harvest the fruit of your faithful love.
It is time to turn to me.
When you do, I will come
and shower my blessings on you.
