Wow...it has been so terribly long since I have written, and I'm truly sorry for that. Life has basically picked up speed since I last wrote back in February as I prepared for my graduation! I started a full time job, which took up about 85% of my day, and then my family, friends and boyfriend took up the other 15%. God taught me a lot over the summer, and I have gone through a lot of pain and growth which has molded me and prepared me for the new school year. Which is where my journey in this life will hopefully pick up once again in weekly updates. But, I refuse to make you all a promise, for I do not know if i can hold to that. But please rest assure that I will do m best to keep up this form of communication when I have a spare moment. Back in February-I believe it was then....I was accept to a Capernwray Bible School in Comfort, Texas! And as of September 10th, this is where I have been! So much has happened, that I do not know where to begin in updating you in my story! So I will just dive into the story, and hope that it all connects and makes sense to you!
I have already been learning and growing tremendously as I am immersed in God's word daily. It's really pushed me to evaluate my walk with Him, and to recognize his presence in my life in everything that surrounds me in this crazy world! I have really been hit with the fact that...this life is not about me in any shape or form...but it is all about Him. Who is God in my life, and where is He? First of all, my purpose in life is to reflect the image of God to His glory in absolutely every area of my life...and the question that I seek to pursue and discern in this year is, How can I best reflect that Image that I'm called to bear? And that my friends...is the theme of this year, and as I walk in it...will update you in the pursuit of this answer as He slowly reveals His will and calling of my life as I walk the path marked out for me.
Something that I'm really chewing on and can't shake is...the Christian life is not about me being like Jesus. But it is about God being God through my life-which is His life to begin with. He bought me and owns me, Galatians 2:20-21 (which is our theme verses for His Hill) And i'm put on this earth to serve Him and make his name known. And to consider the cost and whether it's worth it....and it is. I want to be a living sacrifice-Holy and pleasing to Him. Romans 12:1-2. I'm so excited to be stretched and humbled and be forced on my knees. I'm so excited to share this journey with "ya'll" and let you in on that process. Please forgive me, for where I let too much time elapse between us. And please pray for me, as I'm far away from home and it is the hardest test that I will endure this year...and may you blessed as I share my heart.
In Christ Alone, we stand untied....Lisa
