Fear

I've waited to blog because of my fears. I'll sound stupid, or I have nothing to share, or I can't write very well. So today I decided to jump in the waters. I think I am drowning...

Today, the Lord's presence came on our church service. It made me sway, unsteady on my feet and yet it was only a breath, a moment. I didn't want to lose the feeling of His love wrapping itself around me. The service went on, was over, and we went home. The TV blared with its football games, commercials, movies. The washing machine went through loads.. and so the day went.

Lord, let me never be satisfied with just a sliver of you. I want to hunger and thirst to know you. Not keeping it for just me, but to share the wonder of You with others. Not fearing man's mocking and rejection. I want to stop running from You, torn between the desire for the world's approval and my love for You.
