It's two blocks ( normal blocks not NYC blocks) from the beach, tons of parking, trader Joe's in sight ( well, not sight) and did i mention a beach. Welcome to my new home. Visitors welcome.
The check list is just depleting. God has been busy and accomplishing so very much. I can't even begin to really wrap my head around it. I am almost ready to change my current city on my facebook, because you know that life changes for real when you change facebook. ha....
Ok I need to change the subject a little:
For my devotions i have been reading the Spurgeon book morning and evening. Yesterday mornings devotions really spoke to my heart. The basis for the thought was Colossians 2: 9-10 " In Him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled in Him." Ok, we could have stoped there, I got the picture but the point of reading someone elses writings is new revelations right? So get out your drawing board and picture with me what Spurgeon drew. Sometimes I think God allows my imagination to be so vivid because I would love to be an artist but seriously, bad idea.
I love the second sentence in Spurgeons picture, all the attributes of the Godhead is ours to make us complete. Is the paraphrase... wow, think about that..
And then he goes on to say:
" His wisdom is our direction, His knowledge our instruction, His power our protection, His justice our guarantee, His love our comfort, His mercy our solace, and His immutability our trust! He holds nothing back but opens the recesses of the Mount of God and bids us dig in its mines for hidden treasures." How amazing is that.. really picture it, digging deep and finding diamonds of priceless value and just being able to keep it and use it.. no taxes!
It just made me realize how much God is for us, sometimes I get caught up in the injustices of life, people treating people certain ways an seemingly getting away with it. It makes me so upset but, the bottom line God sees all and desires us to keep a pure heart and one step further share this heart with Him. The next step is to allow God to deal with it and leave it all at His feet to deal with. Get back to digging.
I hope this encourages you as it did me..
California: 4 weeks from tomorrow...New adventures, new ministry... and did i mention the beach?
