Stirrings

I have some things on my mind today....it seems the Lord is stirring in my heart again..(did He ever stop?) I'm not sure but it certainly feels as if He withdraws from time to time...perhaps He only wants me to come after Him for a while...He pursues me so vigilantly...sometimes it really should be my turn...

Here are some random bits and pieces of what is stirring around in my spirit...

My son...he is traveling with his band in Europe...which is common...but this week I have had him on my heart....praying for him daily...

Brittany Spears...I know, I know, should pop culture really influence my life?? she is a young woman in a great deal of pain...unsure of where to turn...obviously feeling very rejected and judged.....This week, watching her come unraveled...I have felt pain and the whisper of the Holy Spirit to lift her to the Lord...He loves her just as He loves me.

Philippians....my hubby and I are looking at it together...here is a portion that stands out...repeating a word I have heard, in various ways, several times this week...blameless...
Phil 2: 12-15 ...work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

What an exhortation!...to be blameless and harmless...implying that we can and are...

Spring....I feel new life emerging...both natural and in my spirit...and though we do not, cannot live by feelings....it feels good! :)

LIF- same as last week..:)
I will lift my eyes to the Maker of the mountains I can't climb
I will life my eyes to the Calmer of the oceans raging wild
I will lift my eyes to the Healer of the hurt I have inside..
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes...to You!

I am feeling His call anew....I am lifting my eyes...and though I follow even when I do not feel (that is the faith part after all..)...feeling His call, His Spirit stirring in mine...is surely a welcome breath of spring!
