Freedom.

2^nd Corinthians 3:16, “ Where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom.”

     Paul’s words in this scripture paint such a clear and pure picture of freedom.  Simply basking in Gods presence there lays great and powerful freedom.  At the moment I am at a lost for words as I try to explain the emotions I am feeling. I am humbled but yet Gods presence and freedom is almost too much for me to wrap my mind around. I just wish that everyone could experience the power of God and His majestic beauty.  Sometimes, actually all the time, I wish that I could just drop everything and bask in Gods presence day in and day out. I long to know the word and to become more like Jesus. I just want more of Him. 

     Last night was probably one of the most epic nights ever. Basically I am so blessed I don’t even know what to do with myself. It was about midnight and I had just taken my shower in preparation for bed when I received an unexpected text message. It was an invite from one of my best friends Ward, to go and worship. Two thoughts flashed through my head upon reading this. The first being, Worship God under the starts…ummm duh! The second being, wow, how blessed am I to be getting text messages like that. It was simply a beautiful worship experience as 13 college students gathered under the stars to worship the creator of the universe. It was such a humbling experience to bask in Gods presence among fellow believers.  An unplanned, random event, set aside to worship out God, was truly what I needed. Having my own quite time is one thing but to have that glorious community of believers is irreplaceable. I am simply overwhelmed by the greatness of the God that we serve. There was so much liberation and freedom in those moments that the rest that I received was so much better than any sleep that I may have missed out on. Simply following God and trusting Him to guide each step of the way is the best thing in the world.
