...and I love it! It's been a long year. Some may say, I've been wondering in the wilderness for a year. I can't say that it is completely over, but I can say that I'm on the up and up. I'm on my way back, and the good news is, the arms of my Heavenly Father are opened wide for me to crawl up on His lap. Why this sudden revelation? Well I can honestly say it was not a sudden thing. I've been feeling "convicted" about some things for awhile, but for the last couple of months, I've been telling people how hungry I am for the Lord, and how I desire more of Him, but at the same time, I feel like I have forgotten everything about my relationship with the Lord, and I feel as though I don't know Him at all. For the past couple of months, this constant phrase has been running through my head...
"Come back to me Brittany, get to know me again"
When I feel like I have strayed so far that God wouldn't even want me back, I hear Him say,
"Come back to me..."
When the drama with my friends just follows me, and I feel like the world is caving in. When I feel like I can't keep my head about water, I hear His gentle voice...
"Come back to me..."
I had the opportunity to see what of the most Godly ladies that I have come to love last night. For reasons that I don't really feel like getting in to right now, I had the chance to hang out a bit with Danielle Treece, a lady that I have come to know and respect because of how much of a Godly lady she is. I was only able to be in TN for about 2 hours, but while I was there, the Lord just spoke to me in so many ways. So many ways that I will explain in some later posts, but before I left, I was surrounded by other believers and they were praying over me as I began my trek home. I was feeling so unworthy to be in the circle, but I accept prayers anytime I can get them. As Danielle prayed, the Lord just continued to say to me,
"Come back to me kiddo, get to know me"
Danielle prayed that I would feel the power of the Lord, and that as I have been feeling the weight of the world, and as I have been seeing the devil trying to ruin things that I know the Lord is in, and ordaining, that I would just be still and listen for God. She prayed a simple prayer, that I would know I was spoken for. And I heard the Almighty God say to me,
"Come back to me, there is room at my table."
Drop your shame, guilt, issues, drop them all, and just come and bask in the Lord and all his love and glory. As I stood there sobbing, they kicked me out on to I-26 to start my trip, and I just looked over the mountains and just cried. Not a bad cry, but just a refreshing, Jesus cry. I can't explain it all, but this is where I am tonight. simply getting to know the Lord again. And there is no where else I would rather be tonight. What is He saying to you?
