Watch this update to hear about how my year has started off and what God is doing in me.
Drawing Closer to Christ
Were you able to read my December update? It was information packed, reviewing 2024 and what God was speaking, as well as how God led me to make the move to work with YWAM Ships Corpus Christi and what I will be doing with them. In that update I talked about how God had been asking me to move into a season of Rest and Restoration. I will not go into all of what He was speaking, but I would encourage you to go back and read that update if you didn’t have time yet. You can do so here: December 2024 Update
Even after that update was sent, God continued to confirm this season of Rest and Restoration in several ways from different places. So, I ended last year asking God what is a season of Rest and Restoration supposed to look like? I felt like He was saying that He wanted me to draw closer to Him. He wanted me to go deeper in discovering who He is and understanding His great love for me. It is not easy for me to sit still and rest; I am most definitely a doer. But I have been working hard at slowing down, not filling my time with unimportant things, and really pressing into spending more time in His presence, as well as reading the Bible, other books about Jesus, and listening to podcasts about Him. What a precious month it has been. I have seen Him increase my hunger for Him, gained a clearer view of who He really is, and gone deeper in knowing His love. I only want more.
I am not sure how long He will have me in the season. He hasn’t let me in on that detail, but I am so grateful for it. It was really needed. I am glad that it isn’t over yet. It isn’t often that I get big blocks of time like this where He, and my relationship with Him, is the main focus. It has been such an amazingly rich time.
Prayer Points
Pray for me to continue to be patient in the waiting and keep pressing in to all that He has for me in this season. I want to guard my time and not allow time stealers to steal time that could be spent in His presence.
Pray for God to continue to work in me and be able to accomplish all that he wants in me during this time, so that when this season is over, I truly feel rested and restored.
Pray for God to continue to work together everything that needs to be done in order for me to make the move to YWAM Ships Corpus Christi. I need to see more people make monthly support commitments. I still need to see the provision of a vehicle. I need lots of details to fall into place for the move and getting settled in Corpus Christi.
Pray for me to be able to take my hands off all the things listed in the last prayer request. God clearly told me during this season to let go of those things and trust Him with them. But my “Doer” self sees them and is always tempted to do something to try and move things along.
Pray blessings over all my monthly supporters and everyone who has given special gifts to help get to me to Corpus Christi.
