This past weekend was full of some huge news, which wasn’t incredibly exciting actually. Our beloved friend Chris has been fighting cancer since August, and after having a unexpected seizure last week, he and Martha found out that the cancer has moved to his brain. What a shock to all of us who have been praying and hoping that he would be healed!

Things were starting to look up again too. Chris had just released the new worship schedule, and he was planning to lead twice this month, now that his voice has returned. So, in the midst of this crisis I am faced with leading worship more (which I actually love :_), although it can turn into that “one more thing on my plate” deal) and also plowing through our work deadline, which I was hoping to have some of Chris’ help with.

I Want Your Heart 2 comments

I listened to a couple podcasts tonight about “The Fasted Lifestyle”. A lifestyle of prayer and reading the bible and fasting regularly. It’s incredibly biblical, and it’s something that I feel myself being drawn to more and more. Tonight as I listened I was sketching and the speaker said something along the lines of “God is saying ‘I want your heart’.” And when you live “the fasted lifestyle” you’re giving up those things that take up room in your heart, leaving less space for God.

I’m just so gripped by the fact that God wants ME. He doesn’t want my ministry, or what I can create for him or do for him. He just wants me. He wants time with me. He wants my heart. And so this picture is what it looks like to me. What Gods desire for me looks like.
