Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10
I feel like I have let the world stain me lately by falling into it's ways. I've been distracted by work, dreams, and to do lists but God's word says to be set apart and to keep oneself unstained by this world. As I am being distracted and enticed, ready to go my own way, God is clutching onto the back of my collar. He will never leave me or forsake me and he is faithful to keeping me to the end when I will see him face to face for all of eternity. This is the love that has me going crazy. God is so gracious towards me in showing me my sin. This refining is so awesome and I love how much I am understanding now.
The past, maybe, two months I have been experiencing the Lords grace so clearly and so often. God is doing a lot of heart reconstruction right now and, I'll be honest, it's overwhelming. Every moment I get just another tiny glimpse of God's love for me I become so overwhelmed and I have no idea what to do with this love that I just weep. His love is so intricate and extravagant that we cannot ever comprehend it and even these small little doses he's giving me is mind blowing. He is being pretty straight forward with sin and stirring up a longing in my heart to have more of him. I really cannot get enough. I'm coming into a season of contentment and enjoying every moment in constant fellowship with God. It is beautiful. I'm happy to take control of these distractions and focus on the one who has everything already written down in my book. These things that have my mind scattered are already orchestrated for my good, but more importantly, for God's glory.

Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. If I say, "Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night," even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you. Psalm 139:7-12
So that is my quick progress report because I haven't written in so long. I am so shocked that I really haven't written about China at all either. I love to write and I want to set a side more time to do it. I don't want to rush through a post, as I am doing now, but to kick back and enjoy writing again.
