Glory Revealed - To Me!

Sorry, that it has been months since I updated. I am sure that most of you have read of our exciting summer on Carys' page. Although "Blessed" does not seem an adequate word, it is the only English word I know to describe our life at this moment!

I have lots of pictures from the past months, but I don't have time right now to upload them! I am currently at lunch and I just had to write about what I discovered during my personal study this past week.

I heard David Nasser (hilarious by the way) on the radio talking about the Glory Revealed 2 tour. I thought it odd that it had not even heard of the first one! I guess for the past two years I have been so focused on survival that I did not even realize what "stuff" I had missed. So I went to their website and checked it out. When I realized the project spring-boarded from Nasser's book I was very lead to buy and read it. It seemed very appropriate to my recent studies of reason and faith.

I read 3 chapters the first night! I love it. The message is simple but powerful!! It centers on things most of us have been told our whole lives, but makes us stop and think. God wants us to know more about Him. He wants us to feel His presence, hear His voice, understand His Word, experience His presence, and all this to prepare us to do His work. But what God said to me though the scripture and prayer was even more amazing.

As I read, I kept thinking to myself "You already know this. This makes perfect since. Yeah, these words are great, but you are getting nothing new from this." This attitude startled me. I usually love to learn new things and there is not one time that I open God's Word and don't see something new! So I began to pray. "God, help me learn what You want me to learn. Help me see what you want me to see. I have already experience all of this feeling, hearing, understanding that this book is talking about. What more do you want from me?"

Then it hit me. Exactly! I have already experienced it! People often give me a funny look when I tell them that Carys' diagnosis was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. How could that be? I will try to explain...

God has blessed me with and through this "trial." I know He is there. I know He listens. I know He works and I know he loves. Without question. What I was not thinking about it that everyone does not know this. Everyone has not see what I've seen or felt what I felt. God wanted me to know what a blessing my journey is because He used it to Reveal His Glory to ME! Me, nobody...but yet a child of the King! He wants me to share what He has done so that others might see, feel, hear, understand, and experience Him too!

I pray this entry, and every thing I do helps me accomplish His work for me.
