This is what happens when I have espresso at 9 pm....blogging at 1 am! What up. This week has been full of God's goodness (and it is only Wednesday). I can feel Him moving into more parts of my life and it is awesome. Recently, God has been speaking to me about how I am loved as His child and daughter. One way I am reminded of His presence and love for me is through wind. Yes, wind. I have felt God move through wind numerous times. For example, two times praying outside and feeling a breeze surround me while speaking to God. Another time praying in church and feeling a small gust...did the ac just kick on? kidding. Not to mention the times I step outside, feel the wind, and just close my eyes--in those moments I feel incredibly close to God and so peaceful. What is it about the wind that makes it feel like God is embracing me?
The new Tegan and Sara album came out the other day...and yesterday I was singing my favorite song on the album. Name of the song...How come you don't want me. As I was shouting these lyrics something hit me. How sad it must feel to think you are not wanted or loved by anyone. The Lord loves you. While singing those lyrics I could smile knowing that I will always be loved and wanted by the Lord. How cool that the Lord is reaching my heart in the most unexpected ways.
I have been reading the book of Ecclesiastes lately...and the line that life (without God) is meaningless and is like chasing the wind has been constantly on my mind. It is true--chasing success, wealth, happiness, and wisdom, for your own sake will only lead to disappointment. Chasing the wind in this context is useless...why chase something that you can't see or contain. I feel like I am not chasing the wind anymore. But instead, the Lord is the wind and is surrounding me. How lovely it is to be cared for and embraced by God. For the rest of my life the wind will continue to remind me of the Lord. I can roll down the windows of my car and sing with the wind hitting my face knowing that God is with me. When things feel out of control...I will pray for wind.
