Expectations and unexpected opportunities
And there have been lots of them this semester. I am normally one of those people who likes things to be planned and scheduled. But this semester has been filled with those hidden and unanticipated moments that I really couldn’t have planned any better. And for that I am grateful. I love when the spontaneous moments turn out to be the most rewarding. Letting the plan go and just going with what happens. And it is in these moments that I find the best opportunities to talk about my Jesus. Those opportunities that I would have never gotten had I followed what I wanted or what I thought was best, yeah those, those moments rock. I am continually struck by how He uses us in the least expected ways at the least expected moments. That’s what I love most about relying fully on Him, it’s no longer my responsibility to make it happen, but just to be willing and to make myself available and He will supply the opportunity. As we approach Easter I am faced more and more with the reality of just how great His redeeming love for us is and how He so desperately wants everyone to know this redeeming love. I was filled with this same desperation tonight as I walked home. I want everyone to know just how amazing my God is and how big His love is for us. I am desperate to see the wind of Heaven come and shake up our cities and our universities. To see His name proclaimed and His name renowned in all the earth. That is the expectation and the desire of this heart tonight.
