As Time Goes By...and my mind begins to drift.

I was just thinking about what my blog looked like when I started it, not even a year ago, compared to now. It's astounding to me how quickly God can transform us. It seems like, the moment you aren't looking he rearranges everything. And I love it. At first I wasn't sure what this blog would represent, but I think I've got it figured out... This is a story about change. Like my title says "To walk with the Holy Spirit, is to walk in change." And God's shown me that as a child of the King, even when I walk away, the Spirit is always in me, so I'm always going to be changing. And sometimes that's hard. But I'd much rather change every so often than never change at all.

Tangent #1:

I'm in love with God's love. I think it is the most wonderful thing in the world. I have this one song in my head that pretty much sums it all up: "Smile, smile, Jesus loves you....for you are so precious to Him." I learned it in Asia, it was Larisa's favorite. :) And just thinking about how true that is. It blows my mind.

Tangent #2:

In case you haven't figured it out yet, I have a song for EVERYTHING haha. When we were in South Asia we did what's called the "Everything skit" (I played the drunk girl)

I can't hear this song without thinking of the first time we performed it over there:

Throughout the entire song, I couldn't stop thinking of the audience and how true it is to their lives, to all our lives. And my heart began to physically ache for them. I couldn't breathe. As soon as it finished and we all got up off the ground, I ran to the jeeps and tore off my dupata (scarf). I hated imagining their faces on the face of the main girl....I was so burdened for them. I wanted to scream or cry or gasp for breath, I couldn't figure it out. Two or three of my team mates gathered around me and pretty soon our entire team was in a group hug praying for the truth that was being spoken and for the hearts of each person there. And now, every time I hear the song, my chest tightens up and I relive the whole thing over again. It's hard, but I know that God is doing amazing things in their lives and cities, and I absolutely cannot wait till He brings me back.
