I love people, and I love learning from them. I am in constant search of people whom I can be inspired, and draw new life from. Let us just say I am more interested in meeting and knowing new people and simply learning life from them, rather than me telling them about myself (unless of course asked). Just last July 2007, before the World Conference, one of the delegates from New York , Lynette Lewis, came and gave a women’s seminar. But because I sooo love my work and patients, I opted not to attend. But God is so good to bless me friends who gave me a cd audio of the talk, which ill be sharing in this blog. The talk was especially about women, who are in constant waiting where their joy seems to fade away because of being too consumed of their dreams.
Every single one of our dreams is coming true-coz we serve a God who gives us dreams and brings them to past. The dreams we have are all from God, he will not impress it in our heart if it wasn’t from him, but tendency we want to rush it (right?). If things don’t seem to go on our way because we think our dreams won’t HAPPEN (yet), we become discouraged and broken. But God is in the business of fulfilling our every dream. Just like Mary, when the Angle of God told her that she will bore the child of God—she asked how it could be when she is a virgin and doesn’t have a husband. Just like her we too question God sometimes on the impossibility of our circumstances, when he tells us or impresses us beautiful things, his promises, we ask him ‘how could it be?’ But she believed Him that the Spirit of the Lord is going to come upon her and the power of the Almighty will over shadow her—coz nothing is Impossible with God. Of course there we’re a lot of struggles that Mary went through, though the Bible didn’t have to mention them in detail, we women, different dream from hers, under goes the same struggle—WAITING.
Joy is the muscle that strengthens us for the journey. The muscle that shows are the muscle we work, joy is not related to happiness, for happiness is related to happening, but joy is the sustainable force that is not dependent on circumstances. Joy is the muscle that keeps us strong and helps us wait. The enemy has a lot of ploys for us to give up, not only does He wants us to give up but even if you don’t, he wants us to be so consumed with disappointment and hopelessness that we don’t have joy anymore.
Ecclesiastes 8:15, “….Joy will accompany you all the days God has given you.” Joy that becomes less attached to circumstance and more attached to the ultimate joy giver—God. Lets be a person where life is overflowing through us. Even in season of waiting when we don’t see our dreams coming to past, still we must want joy and life to overflow us. =)
