I have been on a one week journey from weak and miserable back up to where I know I am meant to reside...
We are not meant to live a life that wears us out we are meant to live a life the encourages us, inspires us and brings glory to God, so as I sit and ponder I wonder how did I end up where I was, how did I end up with the joy gone, the tiredness wearing me down, the facts of life ruling me and Hannah on E for empty and enough of doing good and giving good.
I can tell you I had lost the essence of what I Hannah Clare Hooker had been creted for, I had lost the meaning of life and I had lost what it meant to be alive and set free.
We are not bound by human opinions and we are not bound by the laws of the land we are bound by what people think we should be doing infact we are not bound at all, we are however propelled forward by the fuel of a father and the love and compassion that he poured out on the cross and yet this is so easy to forget!!
I have learnt in my one week amazing jorney from down and out back to up adn on fire, that we can be 100% right and 100% wrong all at the same time, I have learnt that the will of GOd first and foremost is that he has our heart and out efforts and that the rest of what he desires will come in his time when he is ready, I have learnt that the confession of our mouth is more powerful than we realsie even if it only makes it out into thin air, I have leant that we are called and anoited to do the will of God in his strength and sometimes he may be the only one cheering us on, I have learnt that tired bodies and souls effect the way we outwork what has been asked of us, I have learnt that my church does not need Super Woman they need real and raw.
I have learnt that when we focus on ourselves and where we are at we become down heartened and insecure it is when we lift our eyes to heaven that God says look at what I have for you!
I have learnt that to live a life of praise means that our focus in not on oursleves but on God in heaven , I have learnt that to live a life of praise your heart needs to be repntant to your king daily, I have learnt that Praise in your head and out of your mouth has the power to change situations...Regardless.
But most importantly I have learnt that God says Go back to Basic's go back and dare to dream not just dream alone but dream with me!
We were created for relationship and worship with our creator first and foremost above all else he wants my heart he wants my focus he wants my time, he also wants me to do his will but not if it takes the focus off me in love with him he is pleased by eyes and hearts focused onhim! He wants me to live a life of Praise dedicated to him and his beauty and his magnificence, his power and his Glory..
He wants me to dream big with him at at the center and allow him to sow into my heart which he will then use to advance his kingdom...
What a journey, what a week what a GOD!!!!
