Solitude and Service

Hey friends!
So here it goes.... I am scared of solitude. I am so scared of the things I know God will bring up in that time. So I avoid it. Reading all of your posts has really just encouraged me that I need to be still in the Lord's presence and humble myself and be thankful for the things that he wants to point out in my life. Guys, we have a God who cares so greatly for us that He wants to protect us, and one way He does this is by pointing out the things we are doing wrong. So if you are anything like me, be encouraged in that and be humbled by the fact that God is not going to love us less because of our junk, but he loves us unconditionally. I feel like with this, I just need to go humbly into His presence and sit on the lap of my father.

Service... The greatest invitation is to be a slave.... WHAT? that is just so different from everything our culture tells us, but it is so TRUE!!! This past summer I saw first hand the difference between serving and being a servant. Words cannot describe it, it's just so beautiful how God meets you in that. For those of you who may be nervous or worried about this, the truth that Christ stooped lower than anything we could do is just so encouraging. Cleaning the mikey.. God's been there, pulling nasty (glorious) mud off an anchor, He's been there.
I love all of you so much and I cannot wait to see you soon! You are in my prayers, but if there is something more specific that I can be praying for, please let me know!
Much Love!
