bring it on!

yeah!

find myself looking forward to more and more things...there's a mounting sense of thrill at what's gonna take place these next few months. and oh! to be a part of it. or rather, if i look at it from God's perspective, all these are what He terms My 'so-much-more' for you, Janice. so i'm not just a part of things, i'm God's reason for making them happen.

egocentric? perhaps not. my life is meant to be full, overflowing with joy, anointed of Him and totally soaked in love. His blessings are so much more than what I can imagine...and always, God is more concerned about the person doing the task and not the task itself.

ok, earth to Janice!

my schedule's been more hectic than usual, a lot more planning and strategizing for change. eklektos will take a new turn soon, and I want to be ready for it. something struck me hard 4 days ago from 'Cries of the Heart' by Ravi Z: the only thing that sees us through is an unwavering trust in the character of God. seasons come and seasons go, but He doesn't go back on His Word. so as i've been planning for my own future, thinking through ministry issues, working on people and certain looming circumstances that don't seem to be clearing up anytime soon, dismal as it looks from my puny and often myopic perspective, i trust. i want to.

Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet i will rejoice in the LORD, i will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign LORD is my strength; He makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights. ~ Habakkuk 3:17-19

and i know that this mounting sense of thrill is because i know God knows what it looks from my puny mortal perspective, and He will answer.

For the LORD God is a sun and shield, the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless. O LORD Almighty, blessed is the man (and woman) who trusts in you. ~ Psalm 84:11-12 (bracket added by me)
