Me being NOT productive

I have said this like 12 million times, but I will say it again. I don't think I have felt or heard God's voice and presence so clearly before.

My life is not one of service to myself, but service to Him. There is nothing that I have that didn't come from Him. There is nothing that I can do that will ever come close to the sacrifice that was paid for my life, but the closest thing that I can do is to live everyday as a sacrifice to God.

As I drove to school this morning, I began to thank and praise God for everything that He is doing in my life and almost immediately I felt His presence in my car. Such a tangible presence, that I was in tears. (trying not to mess up the make-up for the day) A life that is dedicated to God is one of the most powerful things that I have ever experienced. I don't think that my friends truely understand what I feel some days. It is like I don't live for me, but for everything that will glorify Him. With that, doesn't come a heaviness or a weight of what I have to do but a light, happy step each day. A happiness that sometimes is uncontrollable laughter and crying in the reverence of my God.

Prayer last night...couldn't have been any better. I was anxious with anticipation of what my God would do and it was nothing short of amazing. Renae and I are, in her words, "an amazing team." Her passion for the Lord and for the youth is one that I haven't seen in a while. (My passion is getting to that level but isn't there yet. It's not the right time...maybe.) Her dedication to the redemption of every child in our church and for them to feel the awesomeness of God, is powerful. Every time the two of us get together in prayer, the Lord does mighty things. I can't wait to see how our friendship evolves and how our future house will host the Lord's presence. :) She is passionate, loving, caring, powerful, and a complete blessing to my life.

I've never felt the fire of God in my life more than I do now.
I've never searched after God the way I do now.
I've never been so passionate about my God than I am now.
I've never wanted anything more, than I want God's will in my life, than now.
I've never been so in love with the Creator of the universe, than I am now.
I've never felt so loved and powerful in His presence than I do now.
I've never wanted so much more for my life, than what I can do, than now.
