This past Sunday, Joel talked about the word
repent
Little did I know that that word would haunt me until I did something about it. I'm thankful that God sends his hounds after me with intensity when He needs my attention. I would hate for some of these things to linger on. I knew that something was going on when I did Hannah's lesson with her on Monday and there was the word again.
repent
I brushed it off as a happy little coincidence. And then I showed up to class on Tuesday and there it was in big letters in the lecture
repent
I felt that tinge that this is something I should really look into, but what is it that I need to
repent
And so I let myself sink into the idea and out flowed the post from yesterday about homesickness. And out came all those feelings and emotions that I was holding on to, not sharing. And that was when I realized that I needed to
repent
And then there it was for the entire world to see, even though there are only about five of us that read what I say here (I adore each and every one of you!) and I was reminded of 2 Samuel 22:29
You are my lamp, O LORD;
the LORD turns my darkness into light.
In the midst of repentance somehow God led me out of the place of darkness, the cold place that I could see my self journeying towards, thinking "This is my cross to bear" and he placed me in the light. And there I was turned away from the things that destroy and towards the one thing that brings life, God. And I hear that word
repent
now and I think "Thank you, Lord. For you alone can call me from the depths and deliver me to your doorstep. Thank you for the ability to
repent
That I may no longer be lost in my sin. Thank you that when I
repent
You are there to welcome me home. Thank you, Lord, for this season in which you remind us all to
repent
