Psalm 138:3 - Joanne!!!!!

Psalm 138:3 - Joanne!!!!!

My view from “The Chair” this morning - Psalm 138:3.  Standing in the presence of God on the YWAM base in Perth, Australia with 150+ hungry souls is life altering.  The music starts and voices rise.  Closing my eyes, I drink deeply of the symphony of voices and dialects from all over this planet.  They are all focused on worshiping our God.  It is marvelous.  It is heaven on this side of eternity.  It is something my soul longs to drink deeply of.  I am carried into the ocean of His presence.  That is when I hear Him.  He is just repeating my name.  Can I just be honest, I’m not really sure how we ended up in Perth, Australia other than we just wanted to visit the country and others had recommended this base.  I’ve been asking God to really confirm some things this summer.  I don’t want to be wasteful with His resources and if I’m headed in the wrong direction, then I need Him to redirect.  Worship continued for an hour.  As it ended, I made my way back to a table to work on some writing stuff.  That was when she appeared.

My view from "The Chair" this morning - Psalm 37:23.  Do you know that our Creator takes HUGE delight in every detail of our lives?  He has an untangled view of our life.  I like to think of my life in terms of a large tapestry that He is stitching.  My "view" is positioned from below the tapestry.  It is an incomplete view because I can only see the underside of His magnificent work.  When I allow myself to really look up, all I see is large amounts of loose ends; knotted strings; and tangled masses of threads.
