Aperture:f/2.8

meet red rocket... he's a 1979 honda cb650

i know i know… silly name. but that is ok for my little motorcycle.

things are going at a crazy rate here in the life of the Mitchells.
i think i am still confused as to how KC and i really got our motorcycles.
it seems that God really did “pave” a road and a way for us to be unbelievably blessed.

i really wonder sometimes why He is so good to us.

and although i really feel very not worthy of such things,
i know that He is really glad that we are being obedient and listening to Him.

lately, KC got baptized in the ocean and then he started using his prayer language more.
and boy… did God show up big.

about a week ago, he was praying out loud and the Holy Spirit gave him some words to say to a friend.
he really didn’t know what it was all about and honestly, he was pretty reluctant to tell him.

it pretty much went like this:

“hey man, i don’t know exactly what this means,
but God told me to tell you that He is going to give you a position of purpose
and He is going to use you so much more
and require more of you in this new thing He wants for you to do.
and also, that He is going to allow you to love more
and to just pour out His love to His people…”

our friend was astonished.

he then told KC that he is going to take a position at the church he attended
that would give him more responsibility and really push him to be a better christian.
and also that there were some foreigners that were attending the church
that were having a hard time with learning english quickly,
so their pastor told them that the best thing to do is to just show them that they genuinely love them.

wow.

if that isn’t speaking in tongues at work… i don’t know what is.
not to mention just what i have been learning lately on my own.

God is so good.

you see… that not only was a word for our friend…
but for myself as well. and i don’t think my husband even knows that right now.

i have been crying for God to use me more.
that i will be more bold and that i would get back to just bathing in His Word daily again.
so, that i can be His trumpet… no… His mouthpiece.

i want to do more. i want to love more.
and goodness… He really has been rocking my world since i prayed for it.

this morning i was waiting for my car to get fixed.
my door hasn’t locked properly for over six months.
and God finally blessed us enough financially
(actually overabundantly since KC and i BOTH got motorcycles)
for me to get it done.

SO, i am at the honda “healership” (yeah… i know… ridiculous. couldn’t help myself)
and having quiet time to the best of my ability.
i read through I Timothy again because we’re studying it for PB’s bootcamp.

but then i felt lead to read the book of Philippians.

and this is totally for me… for NOW:

Philippians 1:9 (New Living Translation)
“I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding.”

i had this spoken to me at the healing room last week.
paula and bob pretty much told me that God is moving and growing me,
like a tulip that is budding and will pretty soon have a bloom,
so that i will be His mouthpiece and love His people.

i kept reading:

Philippians 2:13 (New Living Translation)
For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.”

doooooooooood… i am totally loving what God is doing and pray that i continue to be obedient and see Him through all of this amazingness and newness that He has written before time. i want it all to come to pass and i want to see His glory at the end of my story.

amen.
