Forsaking All

I MUST have FAITH and be OBEDIENT to the call of the Holy Spirit. I must go and see....test the spirits.... seek God with reckless abandon... God has given me this year (this month left) to seek Him with my whole heart....

Lord, show me the TRUTH....
I pray for more and more and more spiritual wisdom, understanding, and discernment and a clean heart and renewed loyalty to YOU ALONE, God.

I feel called to go search the scriptures/ study the Bible at Wexford with other people who God has removed the blinders from. God, please give me discernment to test the spirits. I want to follow you and not a deceptive spirit. I think that I must react the way Hilkia the priest who found the book of the law and brought it to the king who realized what they were dealing with and obeyed accordingly (2 Chronicles 34:14-33) that now that I have SEEN this, I must OBEY. I must take it SERIOUSLY and tell others to take it seriously too! 

I am taking a leave from Journey (I left CG coach/tech, creative leadership team, ABOHG/ single professionals leadership, Triangle Church Planting Network, a potential job, and fully paid missions trips to Honduras and Uganda).

I am leaving my house and friends and comfort and dog... at least for now....to see what God wants to teach me and if He gives me peace in Pittsburgh/ Wexford, PA.  I must be RESPONSIVE.

I am more and more convinced that you CAN attain the perfected/ sanctified state. If I can't, I know that my efforts will honor God. God despises sin (Carissa, find some scripture to back that up!)! I don't know if I believe that you can stay there (sinless)...but like Lori said, God will show me. He's shown me many other things that she and Mark have said...confirmation in His Word....

I don't know God's plan but I believe that I am meant to be up there and a part of their church - at least for this season - so I will go in faith. Your will be done, God. I exist for Your glory and hope and pray that you will sanctify me fully and send me out as you did so many other faithful followers!

Good scripture from today so far (look up and study more later!!):
Romans 6
John 17
2 Chronicles 34
Ephesians 1
2 Corinthians 11 + Matthew 6:23 & Luke 11:35

Naptime. I only had 4 hours of sleep.... eep!! (I haven't been sleeping much... I MUST sleep so I can make good decisions!)

Muah to me!

ps. Shannon just sent me a quote from bondage breaker: "those who deny the enemy's potential for destruction are the most vulnerable to it." - We had a GREAT lunch... VERY honest and she was actually such an ENCOURAGEMENT to me... encouraging me to seek truth and said she did the same thing a few years ago. :)
