The Lords Kiss

It is Wednesday and I found that today is not like any other day. Normally, I would wake up and crawl out of bed (or down the stairs of my loft bed) and then I would ponder what I needed to get done for the day... so, I woke up awakened before my alarm and was ready. I was ready for the day and not dragging at all. I climbed down my loft bed and turned up the switch on my wall and BOOOOM, something happened to the breaker, so my room had no light.

At first, I was upset because I could not see and was stumbling around everything in my room, but then I smiled and turned towards my window. I pulled back my black curtains and opened the blinds and the Lords smile gleamed into my room. I felt the warm sun on my face and at that moment felt a kiss on my forehead from the Lord.

I was reminded in that moment that I am a daughter of the Lord and this is His day, not mine.

Last night, I attended Breakaway, which is a BIG gathering at Texas A&M every Tuesday night to worship God and hear his message. Last night, we had the privilege of having Breakaway in Kyle Field, which always is so awesome to see about 10,000 students worshipping the Lord at our football stadium!

One thing Ben Stuart said, is that we need to pursue the Lord because once we start pursuing the Lord, focusing our time on the Lord and getting out of this mindset of "doing everything for ourself, so we can be happy". Once we set our eyes on the Lord, He will set our eyes on them and what he meant by them... is everyone else in this world. Once we step out of OUR world and focus on the Lord, the Lord will reveal His plans for us and set our eyes on people. We were made to love people. We were made to care and reach out to people.
Like the song Hosanna says, "Break my heart for what breaks yours."

This life is not about us. It is about our Lord and Savior.
So, Open your window and let the Lord kiss you on your forehead.

In Him,
