The three R's

Rabbits, Radiators, and Rest - what did you think? :p

well, youve heard the story, the short version of it, if i told it i would have told it with 3 times more information!
My boss was very upset that i didnt tell her i was going to Griffith, i've vowed this will be the last time i lie to her, i felt terrible about it all weekend.The lord was prompting me to tell the truth but did i listen..NO!! so lesson learnt, even a white lie is a lie!

but in retrospect, the trip was worth every second spent.

I also truly believe we went there in Gods good and perfect timming, were we to go earlier, we wouldnt have heard George and wouldnt have been encouarged spiritually the way we were. It was awesome to see a little church with so much potential to reach people for Christ.The whole time I was praying for them to grow, to spread over Griffith like wild fire so people will know the Lord. We arent the smallest church after all, we arent the only ones trying to grow, experiencing new things and all working for the one goal.....Christ! Our borthers and sisters around the world are also experiencing this growth, no wonder the Lord wants us believers to always prays for each other and love and show hospitality to each other.

That song pops into mind "tell the world that Jesus Lives, tell the world that...tell the world that..tell the world that he died for us..tell the world that"

awesome, awesome awesome!!!

For me, our adventure was God pulling me aside and almost reprimanding me about "spiritual rest" Ive been focusing on physical rest since it was one of the things i needed to keep going, that i neglected spiritual rest. Our God is so good like this,its like he says "now youve mastered that, now focus on this my child..your out of balance in this area" He is so faithful like that!
Though i have plenty of physical rest, it is not rest if I dont have spiritual rest, because thats when I spend time with God, talking to him, him talking to me, me listening him glorified, i draw near he draws near...its like what George said " you cant go asking God to draw near to you if you draw near to other things instead of him"
I will reap what i sow...i wont reap spiritual blessings if I spend time focusing and sowing into the things of this world.I cant ask for the Lord to bless me financially if I dont sow my finances into his kingdom....boy i got hammered!!
the biggest revelation for me was the Lord instructing me on how to start the work my heart desires the most. reaching people, bringing them to Christ, showing them that Christ lives.I have been asking him this more frequently than ever before in the past months.. "Lord how do I start, where do i start, am I on track? " and because he is so faithful, he answered when I least expected.

and i now have my first steps outlined for me.The greatest thing about the Lord is that, even though we do about it all wrong, he sees only our hearts and will direct our paths accordingly, thats what he did with me on the weekend. I was encouraged to be a faithful prayer person, to be a faithful doer of his word, which means I have to know his word.
The other things I also learnt was that I must refrain from being dutiful but busy getting to know the Lord more.

SPIRITUAL REST is the key!!

Im encouraged and looking forward to spending more time with the Lord and less trying to control or manage the world around me!

Thanks Lord....it took a rabbit to get my attention :)
