Oh My Dear, Sweet Jesus

I fall more and more in love with Jesus everyday. The way He romances me is just beautiful. This week He has really been teaching me so much. So many GOOD revelations!

For one, He just desires to romance me so much right now. I desire to just be a laid down lover for Christ.

Two, He's teaching me that my security and identity is in HIM! I've always known that in my head but since some recent circumstances, i am now knowing it in my heart.

Third, the Lord is just really teaching me that I am HIS daughter. HIS! I was not created to lie. I was created to be honor and to honor other people. I was created to do my King's work. I was created to be prosperous. If you have the mindset that you are a daughter(or son) of the King it really give you a whole new mindset. Just say that to yourself a few times... and let it sink into your heart. I promise, it
will change your life. Honor is so necessary!

Fourth, I LOVE how Jesus speaks to me. I LOVE how He is just romancing me. My mindset is becoming, "I was created to marry the Lamb!" Really, how amazing! I can't wait. One day I will stand before my King. ahhh.. :)I love how I just get so overwhelmed with Jesus' love that I just cry and cry in His presence. I love how He DESIRES to spend time with me. He DESIRES to teach me things. He DESIRES to speak to me. He DESIRES to take me into a deeper relationship. He is truly beautiful and worthy to be praised. His plans are GOOD and PROSPEROUS. His plans are so glorious... once we just surrender. Obedience IS better than sacrifice!

Fifth, He's freeing me of so much. :)

I'm getting more and more excited about Africa... everyday. I'm going to miss my friends, family, and youth girls SO much. I wish I could just take everyone with me. But it will be such a good growing and maturing time for me. I am going to learn so much this summer. No distractions. Just the lover of my soul(Jesus) and I.

All I want people to see is the Jesus in me. I desire to be HIDDEN in Him. I have had some pretty cool visions(pictures) from this statement but I can't really describe them. God is good. He sits on His throne. And He is coming soon. Hooray!

i know this post wasn't really about Africa but it's things I'm learning before I get there!
