So, I am sitting here overflowing with joy and overwhelmed with awe.

I saw Jesus tonight. In a way I haven't been able to feel him since I was in Uganda.

I saw Jesus in community.

Ten people. Ten hearts. Holding hands in a circle... sharing hearts about ministry and life and struggles and excitements. Praying with each other and for each other. Celebrating God's completely unknown will. Anxious at the thought of his wonderous plan. Unclenching. Letting go.

More of YOU, Jesus. Less of me.

Oh goodness, do I love my team! God has combined a group of people who's hearts beat for the exact same thing. We are truly one body-- with set giftings and talents. We are beautiful and precious. Jer. Jill. Siam. Rick. Rach. Amy. Andrew. Wendie. Adam.

My prayer tonight is that we strip all selfishness from ourselves and put on Jesus alone. That we may be filled to the fullest capacity with ONLY HIM. That we may unclench our fists and let go of our lives. We are not our own. May we seek sanctification and righteousness. May we hold one another accountible in love and respect. May we continue to seek God's face and heart alone. May our eyes be so attuned to following Jesus that our faces are buried in his shoulder blades. May we seek his will alone. May his still, small voice be constant and louder than anyother-- de-fogging our eyes and revealing his path and plan. 

God is good. So good. He is living and so active. He is moving--in wonderful, beautiful ways. I just need to put myself aside and let him do his thing. 

Thank you, my Jesus, for revealing your presence to us so clearly. You have your hand in all of this... and your will is perfect and it is good. May we rest and be comforted knowing this is the case. To you alone be ALL glory.
