Today is one of those days that certain things strike you as new. Or you realize things that have been are just the new normal.
Sunday is usually a chill day. Maybe nap. Prayer and journal. But that just didn’t happen today. Can’t explain why. And I don’t like it. I need that time. But that’s not what i am talking about.
I was checking my feedly and realized I have a huge list of blog posts to read from the things that I follow. And I realized a lot of those posts I just don’t have time or honestly the want to read. It’s not that I dislike them. It’s just that priorities have shifted. I realized that since I don’t have Internet on my phone I don’t check those things while I’m layin on the couch bored. And I really don’t have much time that I end up being bored. So I let them go.
And I realized I haven’t checked twitter in two days. Nothing wrong with twitter. Just been busy.
I found myself thinking back to Embracing Obscurity and the reason why I am on social media. And I think this being in theRas has helped push me towards what is important. Time with His People. Toward time speaking truth. Wrestling with hard questions with kids. And sometimes grownups. Realizing that the “stuff” you have doesn’t leave you when you move far away to a foreign country. (I KNOW this…some days it just hits you differently and you see it new…)
I’m grateful for your prayers on my behalf. Friday I was blessed with the challenge of opening a door with one of my girls to conversation about her life. I struggled with just inviting her to talk to me. And that morning literally prayed with someone here about it. It was as if Satan was throwing every lie he could at me to keep me from doing it. I’m grateful for a friend who is uninvolved in her situation enough to sit with us and translate. And pray. And in the end of it trust The Lord with the why. And pray for the next time and the when. Please pray for this girl. She has been here since she was nine months old and she is broken. So broken. But I see such life and hope for her. I so want her to see God’s love for her.
And a simple reminder- if you want me to be sure to see your bidness. Tag or @me on your tweets or updates. 🙂
So thankful for technology and my people. You people. You.
Please pray for The Lord to make his presence known to these girls.
For His voice to be louder than satan’s in their lives.
For love compassion and wisdom for every moment. I simple need HIM.
Love y’all. Much.
