Dependence

"Do everything in dependence on Me." That's what the Lord continually speaks to me. Sometimes hourly, always daily. I find myself doing, doing, doing......and depending less. Until I hit the wall. You know the wall. The really painful brick one that comes out of nowhere. Like maybe when you've had a busy day and your husband says something like, "do I have any clean undershirts?" (And the answer is "no"). There's the wall. And you lose it.

That's when I know I'm depending less.

My heart desires this constant dependence, my heart NEEDS this. John 15:5 reminds us to abide in Him - only then do we produce fruit. Because it's Christ IN us producing the fruit as we abide in Him. Pretty amazing.

The season we're in is wonderfully hard. :) As new staffers with Campus Crusade, we are raising our financial support. So we work our daytime jobs and then raise support evenings and weekends. Brent's full-time job ends October 1st, so we are both looking for full/part time work to get us by until we have enough support coming in to scale back. We'd love for that to be sooner rather than later. And our home is for sale.

Dependence on Him is all we have. We fully believe He does not call the equipped, He equips the called. And each day He equips us with exactly what we need for that day. And that is GOOD. He is Good.
