If I had to pick an overall lesson learned for the past several months, it would be the beauty and peace that comes with obediently waiting on HIM.

I had been studying the sermon on the mount for a time while I was in the states and through that study and time on my face before HIM, HE showed me that I really don't know how to approach HIS Throne. I mean, I have been pryng my whole life...what do you mean, I don't know how to come before you and converse? Well, I have learned through this time of waiting that my pryr life needed some renovations.
 
So looking deeper into the answer that Js gives when HIS followers ask, how do we pry...this is where I am now and maybe HE will use this to challenge each of you as well.

Thy Kingdom come...yep, that is where I am...and yes I am a seminary student and a M and a C for the past 22 years of my life. But like I told you, I am allowing HIM to go deeper into my life and see exactly where I have placed my allegiance. My response to HIM is, Your Will be done, DAD whatever, whenever, however...Your Will be done in my life. And yes I believe that thy kingdom come, Thy will be done...do go hand in hand. But it wasn't until I read this quote from a lady who is much smarter than I could ever hope to be that I really got it. 

She says: " But true, complete, absolute submission to Gd's will is born only out of undivided, absolute allegiance to His Kingdom."

So HE asks me, what is dividing my absolute allegiance to HIM? What do I allow to take precedent over my times in HIS Word and at HIS feet? I say that I believe Matt 4:4 that says that man shall not live on bread alone but on the every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of Gd. But do I live like that? And then HE asks why does it appear that I  have time for everything else except a diligent, personal, study of HIS Word...not just my reading and pryng in the AM with HIM but a real DILIGENT STUDY of HIS WORD and WHO HE IS! Because if that statement is true, Paul tells us in 2 Tim then I am not "approved to HIM". How can I even get out of bed if I have not been approved to HIM? The whole reason I am here is to proclaim HIM to all peoples but I have to be approved to HIM before I can go out behind HIM!

As you can imagine in this time of waiting and learning how to really pry, I have not left my knees too much here in Colombia. I believe that as the HS reveals times in my life/day when I have been divided in my absolute allegiance to HIM, it is in these moments when I see and hear HIM more clearly. It is in these moments of waiting that I focus on just that...His Kingdom and preparing myself for that glorious day!

And you? Ask Our Father to show you anything that might be dividing your allegiance to HIS Kingdom. Know I am pryng for each of you and will share with you on a more regular basis the lessons that I am learning!
