a season of growing

This is a season of growing. God has called upon all of us here at DTS to take time to sit back and actually listen and hear his voice. I am finally willing to admit that I have been to scared to give God my whole life. when he said go I would stop and when he said stop I would go. I was unknowingly defying God because I was not only scared of what he would show me but where he would take me. This morning I went to the prayer room feeling very down and not wanting to be here. There is music always playing in there and there were already people sitting and kneeling in prayer. I took a seat and opened my bible. the first thing I read was Psalm 131. What it spoke to me was that I kept my heart from the lord for so long but now is the time to completely give myself to him. which I thought I had done before with the summer camps I have attended and worked at, but, looking back now I realized that I had no idea.
I have always been so fascinated with trees of all sorts. the trees here in Hawaii are big and windy with so many twists and turns. I cant help but to compare it to Who God is to me at this point. There are so many different pieces that twist away from each other but then some how some way end up re joining and then forming new branches that then sprout leafs.
I'm not so sure how to end this so I will leave you with blessings and know that I am very happy with all my new stray cat friends.
