Will you follow?

Typically I only blog once a week or every couple of weeks-
twice in one week must mean something is up.

This is the case- the Lord is up to something and I am asking for prayer- for YOU and for ME.

Over the passed week the Lord has been stirring my heart and the heart of one of my dearest friends.
In different ways- He has gotten our attention.

Made us uncomfortable. Made us listen.

Last night- in the quietest and sweetest whisper the Lord called me to read a specific portion of His word. Today again- in a moment of silence- the same message came upon my spirit.

I called Kels tonight- and as I have many times before- told her what the Lord had presented to me and asked her to join me in meditating on this scripture and praying.

What, Lord, is next?

Oh- the things that the Lord has called people to do- the challenges He may face us with- the huge callings and overwhelming tasks that surely lie ahead...

Tonight in my car I found myself listening to the same song over and over on my way home from work-
the people next to me most likely found my face and lifted hands a baffling sight-
worship happened in the honda tonight people.

"The cross before me- the world behind me.
I will follow. I will follow.

Though none go with me- I STILL will follow

"I will follow you- No turning back!"

The anthem of my heart tonight!

Father- you have the attention of this servant.

I ask that you pray for me- that the Lord will reveal Himself through my meditation on this specific portion of scripture and He would reveal himself through my time with him- in prayer and in my daily comings and goings.

(Disclaimer: For those of you who I serve with at HSBC...this does not mean I am going anywhere...this means that the Lord has my spirit in a place where He is asking me to simply submit my time, affections and efforts to Him!)

I am praying for YOU.

Is the Lord continuing to bring something to your mind that you push aside?

Do you feel that the Lord is calling you to follow Him in a specific way?

What is the lord placing ever before you- for a specific purpose- for HIS purposes?

Remember that God's word says that:

"Many are the plans in the mind of man- but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand!"
Proverbs 19:21

With a heart pointed towards heaven and a life committed to the cross-
I pray that you will submit and follow.

No turning back. No turning back.
