WAY better, God. Thanks.

"God is not ordinary."

I've been clinging to this truth ever since Mac spoke it to our youth back in the spring of this year. I wish I could remember his scripture passage--but I can't. I just know the truth I took from his message: "God is not ordinary".

I turned it into my little facebook "about me". I've left it up for a good while. It's been applicable to my entire life. To every detail.


God is not ordinary, and so what I think is good and right, may not really be so. His good and right may be unordinary, and way more beautiful. :)

I want to love His way in my life.


My heart's cry,-- over this past year or so, in the middle of not really loving my job, feeling restrained and in a rut, wishing I could know confidently what I'm best at, and develop that into something excellent and do so with passion--my heart's cry has been, God, do what YOU will do. I will take practical steps, make plans, pray about them!, set forth a path, walk it, try things, but please never let me miss you in the middle of it all. In fact, let me understand and follow your heart, no matter where it takes me or what the process may need to look like and feel like. No matter if it does or doesn't match up with the plan in my head.

I just want to praise God for how he is leading me, for where he has taken me, and for where he is taking me. I'm kind of echoing my "Hurricane" blog, but I truly am grateful for God closing doors, opening them, providing neat friendships along the way, not minus a few growing pains. :) I mean, He really is a God of DETAIL. He knows his creation from the inside out and knows how to speak to us, as unique individuals, and as dearly loved children. He knows how to get my attention and for his gentle hand and Spirit, turning my head to him, lifting my face to his, I am forever grateful.

My friend Alex says it like this, "God is too good in letting you know what's up sometimes."

He truly is. It's beautiful.
