Get Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable.

After i read this weeks devotional i felt kinda dry  as if this devotional didn't phase me, almost numb to the words and it wasn't until today when i reread this that God really spoke to me. recently ive been torn between two things one being going back to sonshine and staying home due...to the fact  that if i go back to sonshine i wont be able to work this summer and  afford rent along with the fact that i need to get some dental work done asap and its going to cost a couple thousand to get done. this small conflict has been consuming my every thought today as ive been in prayer and talking to other people for encouragement and prayer  God really revealed this phase to me TRUST ME. and it was then when i realized that God is calling me to so much more than i can imagen. here i am worried about tomorrow not not knowing how im going to afford what i need done when God is striping me of my worldly identity. trust me. trust me as you trust landing in the water after you  jump off that house boat. i am your provider jump  into my arm as im going to create you anew. God lavishes us in his spirit. he is our safety net, our so called worldly safety net can so easily  tear and leave us with empty promises of what the world finds fulfilling when God is calling us to be baptized in the spirit to walk in the spirit and its not a one time thing it is a daily choice to take ourselves out of our worldly identity and to be raw and real as we walk in the identity of being his child.

this devotional has really rocked me this week as i find my self in the fear of trusting him and wanting my safety net of work in school, God really opened my eyes to the fact that he is calling me to leave behind what i think my identity is and what i think it best and to die to my self to pick up my cross and follow him. its a daily thing i so often ignore 

im so stoked on this weeks devotional and i am so excited to be know and trust that God is calling me back to sonshine and that tomorrows worries are in His hand as i trust in him and follow His will and not my own.

love you all and cant wait to serve with you this summer
