Bread please

I'm tired! This journey all started bright and early. The food is good. Church was great and the people are awesome! I love being able to worship with my Romanian brothers and sisters. It's heaven practice! Every nation and every tongue will stand around the throne and worship Jesus. Una-Una church was only a glimpse of that! There's something exciting about the body of Christ during corporate worship. We all serve and desire the same God. As I sat in worship Sunday, I began to think about my heart issues. So many times I am just like Thomas. I hear the truth all the time and I see God at work all around me. Yet, I still choose to remain distant from God. I know He is trustworthy and faithful to His promises but I look towards myself and say "I can do this on my own." The moment I choose distance over determination is the moment I am in complete desperation of a Rescue, a Redeemer, the One is LIFE! 

We've eaten bread at every meal so far...I like bread. I expect it at every meal now. It sticks to your tummy and it's a sustainer food. That's what Christ longs to be to us. We are to expect Him to show up in every circumstance, every conversation, in every moment and stick. He fills us up with the Holy Spirit so that we aren't hungry for anything else. 

We are created to actively seek Jesus and live in constant worship of the Almighty God. 

That is LIFE! God is teaching me so much in the first few days here in Romania. I know that challenge is coming. I know exhaustion is coming. But one thing I know for sure, I can rest in the presence of my Savior!

"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly." (Matthew 11:28-30 MSG)
