'Would You Wait?'

OK so here I am, just me and the One who created me. And Im wondering what He has in store for me? I wonder and lust and pray and seek and try to find my future in different things, but the whole time God is saying 'Would you wait?'
Why do i have a problem waiting? I wish I could see my future, and where Ill be, who Ill be with and what Ill be doing, but at the same time I wish I could go back and visit the past. Do you see whats happened here? Every thing revolves around me!! Is it any wonder things aren't going the way Id like them too!
Why do I try to do things by myself?God has brought me this far, and Im sure He has better plans for my future than I have. God why do you keep loving me even when I turn from you to try life on my own? You have so much that I can learn, even the small things. God You are the essence of all those Fruits of the Spirit.Love,Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness,Goodness,Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self Control.
Once again I come to you and ask for your open arms to embrace me and direct my footsteps in this world. You are the Alpha and Omega, Beginning and the End, What Was, Is and Is to Come! Help me with this 'Waiting' game.

Creation Festival


This summer I'm heading off to the States (Seattle, Wa) for 5 weeks! As you can imagine im THIS excited to get away and to see my friend Haley. Haley has been a dear friend for over 10 years and God has held our friendship together even though we live worlds apart. Anyhow, not only do I get to see Haley but I get to attend 'Creation' Festival! It is so amazing, I cant even begin to describe it, so check out the web site www.creationfest.com/nw and be jealous! Im going to continue to fall in love with Jesus this summer. God has soooooo much in store for us, and I'm convinced that all things happen at a perfect time for a perfect reason! Put all your worries into His hands daily, and follow His directions!

FACE TO FACE

No more side view, here I am, ready to view the most Holy face to face. I can no longer be fake, I can no longer pull this mask on, I can no longer pretend to rely on you but do things by myself. If I continue to be the person I am, yes perhaps it will be good enough for others, but I know and You know thats not acceptable. I will not grow into the person you planned me to be, I have to be face to face with You, so that I dont get side tracked or loose my footing. Just like learning to ski, when I stay right behind the instructor and followed the carvings she made in the snow, how much easier was it than going alone? Yes i can ski alone but I wont improve my skills. So Lord I come as a broken soul, giving you my all, and letting You remould me in Your image. I want to follow the carvings you are making in this world. Stretch me, Open me, Reveal the Truth inside of me, so that others can see how brilliant you are. I can go no further on my own, for so long Ive tried and now looking back I can tell when I was closest to you. Lord let it be just the 2 of us like it was in Canada, when all I had in my life was You, I knew nobody and nowhere and yet I have never felt as safe. It was then that I stood face to face with you, and saw the Glory. Lord, come back and show me again.
