the weekend that was...

It's been a wild last week in my life..

I went from thinking I had an internship to not having an internship to being jobless for the summer to all of the sudden being offered a job I already declined earlier in the year to taking that job...

It's crazy what can happen in a week...

Last weekend was pretty intense for me...
I fasted 2 out of 3 days and was in constant prayer the whole time...
I was searching for God to speak..
And He did...
I had to sit in solitude for like 3 hours just meditating on The Word...

I did things this weekend I usually don't do and I had faith that God would speak...

These are just some things that I put in my notebook throughout the weekend...

----------------------------------------

I crave the easiest path through life, but I yearn for my Father even more.

Am I willing to serve God no matter what? Even if I feel uncomfortable? Even if it's not my first choice of service?

Am I willing to simply love the people God places in my life? Or am I trying to choose which people I want to love?

"God has always connected our relationships with Him to our relationships with one another." - Francis Chan

Joshua 1:9

"As you conquer your territory... do not be alarmed... these things must happen...His plan is taking place" Pastor J.R. Pittman

God's will is not my will sometimes. Why do I think I need to be comfortable in order for it to be God's will? Maybe because for so long I've been comfortable in my surroundings. I asked God to stretch me and this is how He is doing it, by making me feel uncomfortable, by making me step out in faith.

Being uncomfortable = using my faith
Am I really wanting to use my faith??

Joshua 1:9 (again!!)
