Some big changes are coming in my life. Good changes. God changes. But with change, there’s always a sense of seeking God. What does He have for me in this new season? How does He want to use me? How does He want me to grow and mature?
One thing that is crystallizing in my heart and soul is that I don’t want to lose a passionate love for Jesus in the busy-i-ness that is coming. Life is already hurried and frantic. I keep waiting for its pace to ease…and it doesn’t.
Instead one more major thing is getting added on while other smaller things accumulate, too. I’m shifting a few things off…while others can’t be shifted… they can only be managed.
Does anybody else live there? Please assure me I’m not alone.
This do-it-all momma is weary…and that’s why the gift of God’s peace and assurance I’m right where He wants me is a comfort and a balm. My heart’s cry is to live in the center of His will. Yet a growing siren-song of my heart is to love Him completely, absolutely, transformationally…yes, even radically. To have His love so transform my heart and life that I radiate Him. That people look at me, yet don’t see me. They are drawn to His light and love in my heart.
Join me on this journey? Can we explore what that looks like in coming weeks?

Oh, Cara,
Your post brought tears to my eyes … and the heartfelt response of “Yes!”
I nod my head as I read: ” … I don’t want to lose a passionate love for Jesus in the busy-i-ness that is coming. Life is already hurried and frantic. I keep waiting for its pace to ease…and it doesn’t.”
This I understand …
and the longing for more with Jesus … I understand that too.
Looking forward to exploring with you in the coming weeks.

Thanks for commenting, Beth. We have to spend time together at ACFW. I have a feeling we are sisters at heart.
This post spoke to my heart today. I had just blogged about missing the voice of God…that close, passionate journey of living in the midst of his very real presence. So your thoughts here just soothes my soul. Thank you.
