I Am a Worshiper

I am a worshiper. I want to use my whole being to worship God. I am a creator.

I want to put both of these two items together in everything that I do to Glorify

And Honor God. I do not want to limit my Worship to the time that my hands are raised on

The weekends or a conference celebration.  To be creative is not limited to what is brought out

On paper through ink, paint, pencil or a musical note.

I want to sit at Sit at His Feet. I want to  Search His Heart.

I want to  allow Him to flow from me in whatever form that takes

Place. It will be an Adventure. It will be Worship.

   

STRENGTH TO SAY YES

"Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing." Ps. 143 10.   Oh God. Today, I so want to hear Your Word, to Live Your Word, To Express Your Work.
I see the rain. rather hear the rain. I see the drops on the deck. I hear "tint-tint" as the drops fall
on the metal edges around the house. The house is quiet aside from the rain sound. Candles are lit.
I know you have called me to express Your heart. I see it in a way as an adventure. I see it in
the way of reality. I see it in the way of YES. Brenda said everyone's Yes might be different.
The question, challenge and adventure is ~ am I  willing to say "Yes" to the adventure and
challenge that God has put before me, whatever that might be?  God has promised that I will not be tempted with  more than  I can handle. I Cor 10:13. You will always be there to help me handle it even if it is very hard. 
     The answers are not always physically in front of me. You are  SURROUNDING ME. The more I am convinced of that, the easier it is to express it through my life, through my words. On the other hand, where would the faith come in if I was totally convinced?  Where would the adventure come in?  I do not have hard tangible facts that I can hold in my hand. I am convinced with the faith that  I do have. Hopefully that grows.

Today there is thunder. The candles are lit again. The house is quiet on the inside. The challenges in the past few days have been greater. It is raining again today. 
You have not changed. The soft tint-tint on the metal gutters surrounding the house is relaxing.  Time has gone by. The writing has gotten challenging. More doubts have entered. Questions. Thunder.

It is in Your strength to say Yes. It is in Your strength to continue to say Yes. It is in Your strength as Ann Voskamp would say, that we continually look to find Your Joy in all of the things that You have asked of us. It is in Your Strength Oh Lord, that I will look to Find Joy. It is in You Oh Lord that I will look to find Your Strength to say Yes.

What if nothing Happens?

John 6.NIV When Jesus fed the five thousand, He had five barley loaves and two fish. The crowd was huge. Jesus knew what He was doing. He knew what God was going to do. His disciples didn't know. They were very skeptical even though they had seen Jesus do wonderful things already. Five thousand people though. This was a bit more than a one on one activity.
God has asked me to do a certain activity.

  Using my love of creating items with yarn and my compassion for people, I now lead a Yarn Group. This group has turned into to a feeding the five thousand walk for me. Jesus has put on my heart that  we are to go beyond generating items for only ourselves . My eyes have been opened to the needs of others. One is the
Street Team Ministry . We are to pray as we construct  so each person who is handed a hat, a pair of mittens, a blanket, or whatever handmade

item,also receives a touch from God. I mean REALLY RECEIVES A TOUCH FROM GOD.

We have another outreach for whom we are creating items.~ Love Justice.~  I see the crochet hooks and knitting needles as the Sword of the Spirit to break the bondage that surrounds each woman who accepts our handmade blessings.
It is not just the making of items, but it is in the combination of being prayer warriors and creativity in yarn, that my heart yearns for this adventure to be expressed. We are to be interceding on behalf of each person receiving the item. 
God is the one working. I just hear the call. .
  My mind starts to race as  the disciples did in concern and doubt. "Will there be enough people who are actually interested in participating to make items? Will people catch the vision to pray? I am just a simple lady in Duluth. What if nothing happens? "
God is so good. There were enough loaves and fishes to feed the 5000 men plus the wives and children with baskets of leftovers afterwards. If the disciples would not have obeyed and handed out the food, the miracle might have been lost.   What is the Feeding of the Five Thousand Adventure that God is calling you into? Jesus saw the need He trusted God.. The disciples obeyed. They just brought the little boy with the loaves and fishes.   In obedience I am bringing my basket of yarn to God. It will be interesting to see how He will multiply it for His Glory.
