His whisper got pretty dang loud

This past month, His whisper got pretty dang loud in my world. Being in a place that is surrounded by Jesus through every person, every piece of creation and every moment He just became real. Real in a way that has never been real to me before. The whisper that stills my heart of His love and grace become a loud and joyful noise all around me this past month. Instead of a quiet voice, I heard him begging on my behalf right in front of my face to sit with Him. Worship Him. Yearn for Him. Work with Him. Be obedient to Him.
Jesus was revealed to me in so many new ways.
Never have I taken the time to pray this simple yet honest prayer: Jesus, allow me to see myself the way you see me. Show me the depths of my own heart.
This simple prayer created a new presence of Jesus in my life. A presence that was Jesus personality wrapped into my own. This revelation allowed me to rejoice in every detail of my day. Allowing The Lord to enter the depths of my messed up heart and reveal to me the truths and the wirings of my life created a new spirit. A spirit that was only consumed by the Holy Spirit. A spirit that was hungry to serve with passion, love with grace and learn with eagerness.

Through this month, learning was a new experience as well. Sitting in awe of the word of The Lord and asking another simple prayer:
open my ears, my heart and my eyes to what you want me to see from You in Your word.
Another simple task that The Lord rejoiced in with me. Truths in scripture that were hidden all along because I wasn't ready to fully grasp it's truth for my life. Until this month. Some of my favorite scripture read in bible study, yet I was taken deeper into nooks and corners of those stories that had never captured my heart before.

a simple whisper before being this: "Hannah I LOVE you" was now taken to a new depth as well this month. Seeing that His love is also wrapped around His holiness. To accept his love and live in awe of His holiness each day. To wake up and die to myself to experience to majesty of Jesus. I can't experience the full love of Jesus without accepting the full holiness of Jesus. He is a father and a King. A compassionate God and a jealous God. He is tender yet strong. These two characteristics put together painted a picture of Jesus like never before.
All of this, Jesus taught me in the greatest month of my life. Serving alongside friends who fight for the love of Jesus and rejoice with each other in His truth and plan for us. Serving in a kitchen, behind the scenes so that kids could experience a family meal for the first time and see the greatest love that Jesus has for them. What a privilege to sit back and watch Jesus rescue 506 high schoolers this month at Crooked Creek Ranch in Fraser Colorado.
We worked hard. Played hard. Built friendships. Learned a lot. Worshipped like never before.  Laughed a lot. Cried some. Did some pretty crazy things.
All of this centered around one thing.
This crazy redeeming love of Jesus.

{Holy Spirit you are welcome here.  Come flood this place, and fill the atmosphere.  Your glory God is what our hearts long for.  To be overcome by Your presence Lord}
