Distractions. Inconveniences. Nuisances.
This weekend was full of little attempts from Satan to try and hinder the beginning of this new week, but really, that's all they were. His attempts to grind on my nerves don't really even deserve the recognition, but I believe he saw something coming this week that was worth distracting me from. I'm actually too excited to be distracted by it all now.
This week Brenda Lewis is speaking on Identity. If you've ever met Brenda, you'd understand why I'm so excited. I had the privilege of meeting her a couple years ago when I first started spending time at the Vegas base after my DTS at Holmsted Manor. I believe she was speaking on identity then too!
Today when speaking about destiny, Brenda pointed us to Ephesians 3:14-19. What if this is our destiny? To know the love of Christ that surpasses all knowledge? What if our destiny isn't a fixed goal, unavoidable fate, but the very person of Jesus Christ? Ah, so much good stuff to chew on.
Last Friday night we took the DTS to an art show called First Friday (because it's held on the first Friday of every month) to share the love of Christ. A lot of us ended up doing quite a bit of praying for the physical location and spiritual atmosphere of the place as well as letting God lead us into deep and beautiful conversations. I suppose a person needs to be deeply open to be an artist, but I was still surprised at how many of us came away with intensely Spirit-led experiences.
The main person that Cathy and I spent time with was a man named Nicholas. He was one of the artists at the show, and I am so glad that we got to meet him and hear his story. As we were talking with him, I could sense that God has a powerful purpose for his life and direction for his passion. I'm genuinely excited to see what God does in his life, and I hope that we get the opportunity to get to know him better.
Oh hey, look at a road map next time you get the chance. See the resemblance of the veins in our bodies? Pretty cool. More on that later, I have some stuff I need to process in my head before it makes any sense.
