What do i know of Holy

One of my favorite words is Holy Spirit.  The Holy spirit is so relevant and tangible in my life that I am continually left in awe of His presence.  I feel his spirit constantly surrounding me, I see his work in every aspect of my life, and I know He intercedes on my behalf to my Lord and savior.  But at times I have to ask myself, what do I really know of Holy, and during these times I have to humble myself and admit  not much.  The dictionary defines Holy as sacred, or worthy of worship.  Sacred is defined as worthy of respect and set apart for the worship of God himself.  With this being said, the Holy spirit deserves my full worship and respect.  After all, He has transformed my inner most being.  He has made in me a new creation.  Each day of my life God sends him to me, to alter my ways and change my heart.  I see relationships take place, lives are healed, and Christ is ignited all through the work of the Holy Spirit.  And how do I worship and respect the Holy Spirit?  I wait until a great worship song comes on that sends my emotions soaring high, I wait until some glorious bible verse is put in front of my face that makes me fall on my knees, I wait until some out of this world happening takes place that leaves me floored.  The problem however,  is that I wait!  I wait to give my worship to the Holy Spirit when I can clearly see or feel him moving, not when in my mind his presence is still. Right now the Holy Spirit has been moving in mighty ways in my life and I see myself giving praise every time I open my mouth, but what if I did this always?  What if I saw Holy for what it is, a sacred divine power worthy of my worship always.  God is Holy.  So, holy is worthy of my praise in calm times and in times of active motion.  My purpose is to seek God in all that He is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  My purpose is to search Him and know what my heart truly feels in his presence.  My God is big yet I make him small.  I want to know Holy inside and out.  I want to know my Father as King of Kings and Lord of lords, not just lyrics to a song.  I want to be sent to my knees when I simply just hear his name.  I want my life to be an entire act of worship for his name sake.  If this would happen, my whole world would be changed forever.  Isn’t that what He desires?…Holy…….Such a beautiful word.

What Do I know of Holy

Addison Road

I made You promises a thousand times
I tried to hear from Heaven
But I talked the whole time
I think I made You too small
I never feared You at all No
If You touched my face would I know You?
Looked into my eyes could I behold You?

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

I guess I thought that I had figured You out
I knew all the stories and I learned to talk about
How You were mighty to save
Those were only empty words on a page
Then I caught a glimpse of who You might be
The slightest hint of You brought me down to my knees

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?

Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

(CHORUS 2)
What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of wounds that will heal my shame?
And a God who gave life “its” name?
What do I know of Holy?
Of the One who the angels praise?
All creation knows Your name
On earth and heaven above
What do I know of this love?

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of Holy?

When he ask, you better obey….

Wow what a day I have had, with one crazy “adventure” after the other.  The crazy events from today were actually carried over from yesterday.  You see, yesterday, after putting it off this whole weekend, I knew God was calling me to have an Emily day.  A day where I remain alone to gather my thoughts, seek God’s wisdom, relax, reflect, and all those other things relating to solitude. So yesterday, I did just enough Emily time to what I thought would make God happy.  It wasn’t the whole day, I had justifications for that as usual.  You know how it works, you feel like as long as your doing as little as possible, than you are doing enough.  Well that isnt the case.  See, God knows what you need, and he tells you.  And if you dont obey 100%, then he’s gonna let you know.  So last night it began.  After deciding I had had enough alone time, I called up some friends to see what was going on.  While waiting for them to call me back, my phone quickly slipped out of my hand, and right in the toilet it landed. And there I go toilet water allll the way up to my elbow, fishing it out.   But did that stop me from going out, oh no!…I was determined to hang out, so I hopped in my car and headed on over without confirmation.  So needless to say I hung out and had a great time and great fellowship, but I don’t believe that was what I was truly being led to do.  So, I wake up this morning and realize that I have 15 minutes to get to Lifeline where I am a volunteer on Monday’s.  As I am rushing around like a crazy person, I stop to look in the mirror and to my horror see the grossest bloodshot eye I have ever seen.  Well there goes a trip to the eye doctor and another doctor bill…wohooo!  After lifeline, I head right over to verizon to try and get my phone fixed.  Well, they tell me I can either do it online (which with personal experience I know it takes at least two days to get your phone back) or I can pay twenty dollars to have them do it there.  Hmmm thats great, because I had no money on me since I had lost my debit card last weekend.  Soooo off to the bank I go.  When I get to the bank, I notice that I cant find my wallet, and without my wallet I can’t get any money out.  Frustrated but not completely losing it yet, I hop back in the car and go to my house to see if my debit card had come in the mail.  And to my surprise Glory glory hallelujah it had!  I activate my debit card but then have no time to go back to verizon because I had to meet Sarah at church to prepare for vacation bible school.  It was now 6:00 and the kids started to arrive.  Did I tell you we were doing 3 to 5 year olds because a shortage of teachers?! Oh yeaaaaaa and there ended up being 15!!!!.  Don’t even ask me how we managed, I can’t even promise you all 15 kids were there at the end.  So now here it is 9:33 now and as you can see I obviously survived.  Right now I am sitting on my couch, lights off, candles lit, listening to Norah Jones and finally realizing that when God tells you that you need something, it is because he knows its for your own good.  He knew my Monday was going to be crazy and was trying to give me rest in preparation.  So the moral of this story is when you feel God tugging at your heart, pulling you in a certain direction, obey.  Even if its not what you think you need, want, or have time for…OBEY!.  God knows what he’s doing, he’s in control.  Don’t try to take that away from him.  Relax, rest and just let him take the wheel and the ride will go much smoother…

“But this is what I commanded them, saying, ‘Obey My voice, and ⁽⁾I will be your God, and you will be My people; and you will walk in all the way which I command you, that it may be well with you.

jeremiah 7:23

But be gentle with my Jesus, as you tear my apart…

Hey.  So, this is my first blog on wordpress.

God has been working on me and growing me so much in the last few months.  I stand amazed every day at the changes he has made in my life in such a short time.  Although I am trusting God with my heart and the plans for my life, I am truly experiencing growing pains.  God is breaking me down, calling me and allowing me to die to myself so I may pick up my cross to completely and utterly follow him.  He’s opening my eyes to the things I’ve been blinded to, and showing me things about myself that I never saw before.  In all this I must say he’s  absolutely becoming my favorite part of me.  But there’s one thing that through this walk I sometimes forget.  I so often forget that God never told me this road was going to be easy.  I knew picking up my cross was going to cause me to see things in myself that I am completely repulsed by.  I knew that my eyes were going to be open to the flesh, the worldy things of this life that are not of Christ.   I knew that I was going to be disappointed and let down by many things I once put value in.  But, through this I have found myself running full speed ahead to my maker.  The one that makes all things new and never fails me.  I’ve learned that God alone is where my hope rest, where my salvation is found.  Carrying my cross is heavy and painful, but i’ve decided its worth fighting for.  My only inquiry now from Christ comes from one of my favorite JJ Heller song “only love remains”, and thats to “Be gentle with my Jesus, as you tear me apart.”
