The goings on of my heart

There has been so much going on lately that I’m not really sure what to write about but I guess the big thing this week could be summed up in a word. Surrender. Through reading a book based on the song ‘Blessed be your name’ there was a lot of truth that spoke to my heart. ‘Though there’s pain in the offering, Blessed be Your name’. This week, that was painful. The offering I gave to Him was huge. I won’t go into loads of details but basically, I had to let go of a past relationship, which to be honest I thought I had but God showed me I hadn’t. but I needed to. Because ultimately, His best for me is the best. Truth. But I couldn’t have His best if I was holding onto what I thought was best so I gave it to Him. I laid it down on the altar and now I know, whatever He has for me in the future, is His best for me and what more could I want?

I can begin to dream again. Whether it be next week, next year or 10 years time, He’s making me ready to be a wife. But for now, He is teaching me. Some painful stuff but I can go through it because He has promised to never leave me nor forsake me. What beauty in that truth.

One other truth to leave you with which filled me with joy and peace this week…

‘Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4 v 16-18.

An added bonus from DTW!

Another exciting thing happened I just had to write about!

On the YWAM DTW that I previously blogged about something happened and it feels right to expand…

On the friday night a guy who has just done 6 months with YWAM prayed with me and another person, after praying he said he thought he had something to share with me. He asked me if I’d heard about the sharks sports team and of course I replied, ‘no, I haven’t’ sowe moved on and he shared the other thing which was also about a shark.

Then over the weekend I felt God place South Africa on my heart, which was just so exciting because I’d surrendered it all to God and said to Him Lord if you want me to go somewhere, please place it on my heart, if not, i’ll keep trusting you anyway.

Then this week, a few weeks after this weekend, I was tellign a friend about the whole weekend and for some reason added the part about the sharks team even though it meant nothing to me!

Then the next morning I saw this same friend again and she said, ‘You didnt tell me about the sharks team!’ so of course I replied, ‘what do you meanm the sharks team?!’ only to hear a reply, ‘a south African sports team!’

A part of me thought, nooo way! So of course I checked it out from some friends who lived in South Africa and they are huge fans of the Derby, south African rugby team, THE SHARKS!!!!

I mean seriously, how cool is our God?! Beyond words, confirmation was there from the beginning but He gave me the privilige of finding out way after to see how it all fts. Even more excited to see what the future holds!!
