Feel good moment of the day

Today needed a feel good moment. I have learned a lot about love from this baby. He is the happiest and most content baby I have ever met, and I love him more and more everyday.

He crawls now, you can see in the video how victorious he feels in the fact that he can get places by himself.

Home is wherever I'm with you.

Home, yes home. Home is wherever I'm with you.

I feel so much is changing so fast. My last entry I was looking around the corner for change, and here I am now looking at the street I peaked around at and wondering what to do next.

I am sitting on Steph's computer, trying to blog to figure things out.

I have worked so hard trying to build a home, someplace I can lay my head down at night, and sigh a sigh of relief and say "mmm, home." I have felt that feeling for the last three years. I have lived somewhere I felt called to and slept somewhere I felt comfortable.

The other night someone was speaking on the Holy Spirit and His role as our comforter. "The Holy Spirit cannot comfort someone who is comfortable," hit my heart fast. i realized the last three years I haven't been exactly following the leading of the Holy Spirit, but actually following the leading of my desire to be comfortable.

The Lord continually speaks to me through music. I was washing my car the other day, thinking on the Lord and what His plans were for me. I started singing, "If you can use anything Lord, you can use me." I continued to sing that for the next week. That song soon transitioned into Johnny Cash's version of Hurt, "you can have it all, my empire of dirt."
Here I am asking the Lord to use me, knowing He can use anything, hoping He can use me, even though all I have appears to be an empire of dirt.

I am about to walk into a season of being less comfortable. I would say a season of being uncomfortable, but I fear that is too negative. Honestly I am excited though, for in this season I will draw nearer to the Comforter. I am giving it all to Him, believing He will use me. I am reminded of the last season where I felt I was walking into uncharted ground, that was a season I named as my honeymoon with the Lord. My time in the season was so sweet and intimate. Maybe these next few months will be a second honeymoon, and in that case I am thrilled.

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, probably not a band I should admit spoke to me but here I go. I was talking to the Lord about my fears and I felt Him remind me, my home is not in Ft. Lauderdale, Los Angeles, or Lakeland, my home is in Him. No matter where I live or I love with I will always be home because I am with the Lord and in His will. It comforted me beyond words. I am nervous yet thrilled for these next few lessons and stories.

"Home is wherever I'm with you
oh home, yes, I'm home
Home is when I'm alone with you"
