He Sees Dead People, I Just See Sheep

Hello to all. Figured I would give a little love to all of those still checking in regularly.

I have never gone through what I am going through right now. This is without a doubt the richest my life has ever been. I have never, ever, ever, felt this close to the Lord or my wife. It is so difficult to describe what I feel to anyone right now. It's so heavy. I love it. The best part about how I feel right now is that even though I don't want to take the energy to explain it...it just is.

God has been so faithful to speak with new revelation, giving new instructions, new relationships and new perspectives. I have dreamt about this since I was 14. No, this is so far beyond what I have dreamt of, it is supernatural. It is God.

I feel safe.

I feel intimate.

I feel loved.

I feel corrected.

I feel excited.

I feel humbled.

I feel grateful.

God is at work. He is proving a point. I have never lived this way in almost 30 years. This is the way it is meant to be.

What's crazy is that the closer you get to the Lord, the more overwhelmed you are with a burden for what He has a burden for. It never looks the way you think it will. It never turns out the way you thought it would. It never takes as little as you hoped it would. If you want to be used by God, you are going to have to die. And death sucks. But there is joy in the morning. A joy we can't understand or express. It's better than we think. It's more than we can hope for.

P.S.- If you haven't seen or heard the message on Expectations last week, go to iTunes and get it. Whether you are 26 or 62, married or single, whatever you are, I promise that message will speak to you in just about every single area of your life. It was ridiculous. It was the Lord. Sorry for the "shameless" plug, but I'm not plugging my trash...that message was just one of those that was obviously God and not this messed up moron.

God is so good. So rich in mercy and grace. So helpful in times of need. And He is so quick to overwhelm us with his richest blessings. Blessings, Preston.
