A few days have gone since GLS, Global Leadership Summit. I’m amused by my always thinking “it won’t be good and I’ve heard it all before…” and how God still does something different from what I expact. Like making it really good and challenging. (Duh, is’t that what He IS…?) For us in Grani to have “IT”…. that something only God gives… not just the ignition but the flaming fire. As we’ve been praying in church, it feels like the table is empty now, anything can be served. Du bereder för mig ett bord… So bring it on, God!
The woman who’s almost been a flat mate this autumn (God puts the lonely in families) has talked about how we are seated with Christ in the heavenlies (Eph. Somethin:or-other). This has been a restful thought. Like when praying for something, it’s really like sitting down with Daddy, asking Him to tell the Story about how Grani was changed by Him. And as He tells me the Story, it happens. For real. How restful it is, to have God draw the furure! It doesn’t mean passivity on my part, just rest. I don’t need to come up with the Story or the solutions, I just ask Him to create.
I look forwards to enjoying what God will do.

God puts the lonely in families – that will always always remind me of Elli. Sigh. Sweet sisters:)

not passivity, just rest…… to see Him create. wow. I pray for eyes to see the table He is preparing, for eyes to see what He is creating….. for patience to see Him ACT.
