Eagerly Watching

Here are some thoughts after having read Psalm 5:3-" 3 In the morning, O Lord , You will hear my voice;
In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch."

How many of us start out each day before God in prayer and then eagerly wait/watch for his answer? I know I don't usually do this. In fact, I would go so far as to say I rarely do this. I know God answers prayer but I lack that eager anticipation when I'm waiting to see Him do only what He can do. Why is that?

I don't really have a good answer. I suppose a lot of it has to do with how close I am in my relationship with God. Maybe it has to do with church culture that I'm in. Nobody around me thinks like that so it makes it harder for me to think that way. I don't know why but I'd sure like to change it. I'd love to be at a place where I eagerly expect God to well ..... be God. How about you?

It is finally here

I've known that this day was coming for a long time. I knew early on that there was something special about Denise Bavone. The fingerprints of God on her were unmistakable. I knew that God had big plans for her. I could see that He desired for to go and do far beyond what she could imagine.

She has been on incredible journey over the last few years. I've watched experience great joys and incredible lows. Through it all God has been with her. He has been molding her for this moment and this hour. The adventure she begins today is the culmination of years of God working in her life. I'm honored that God allowed me to be a part of that process.

I know that the Denise that leaves today will not be the Denise that comes back in December. She will experience things that will forever change how she sees the world and how she understands God. I'm so excited for her. I look forward to seeing how God uses her to change lives because I know that He will.

I love my Kermit and I will miss her but I wouldn't have it any other way. She is following God in to the unknown and I can only hope that I would be able to do the same.
