First, it's late. It pretty much is way past my bed time. It's been a problem getting to bed lately. It throws me off. By the grace of God I have enough strength to make it through.
Life has been not so normal, but normal all the same. Every day is something new. God is on the move and I love it. Even the hard things. OH MY OH MY!!!! He blows me away. Even in the suffering and hard sucky times. Like the overwhelmation (not a word, I get it, but I can't think of another one...) of homework that doesn't consume my life. That's a problem, I feel as if it should. It just doesn't. And I'm okay with that. My dorm room is sucky. The spiritual darkness of this city is sucky...
This brings me to my next point. God is moving tanigably and it's amazing to be a part of. God astounds me. I've really found a solid group of girls who live in East town and they are are fire so passionate about the Father and I love it and I LOVE THEM. They are so life giving and you walk into their home and you are instantly at peace. Beautiful. And tonight we met and God moved. He moved big time. God is doing stuff in Grand Rapids. He is healing people. He is bring people to spiritual freedom. He is restoring brokeness. He is shining His light in the dark places of this city. He is pouring a refreshing shower of his Spirit on us. It's wonderful. It's beautiful. And the Gathering is on Saturday and I'm pumped and Friday night is BSHOP worship! WOOO!!!! And small groups Thursday! God is on the move!
I have a lot to learn actually. Like a lot. Every day God does that thing where He blows my mind and is like "no Lauren, you do not know as much as you think you do." I have so much to learn. I love it though.
Basically my deepest desire right now is to Love Jesus with EVERYTHING!!!! And love on others and be life giving. Grand Rapids needs a love revolution...no a Jesus Revolution!!!! Some friends and I were discussing Cornerstone and I'm like we need a wake up. We need revival. And my friend Chris looks at me and goes "You are revival." I'm not getting into a whole debate on this. Haha. God brings the revival, but we have to be faithful too! We are called to love Christ first above anything else and then others. When we love Jesus people see that. When we are intimate with Christ he grows our fruit and we can't help but love on others! Christ transforms us. As we spend time really digging into the Word of God and spending time on our knees we come face to face with the King of Kings. WHOA! Hey now! WAY AWESOME!
That's all for tonight.
