Morning Glory

Well good morning readers.  I am so excited now that this blog is for the most part up and running.  I sit here at the dinning room table this morning, with my coffee in hand and worship music playing in the background.  I am currently listening to "Divine Romance" by Phil Wickham.  In this song he sings, "In your presence God, I'm completely satisfied." How true is that?  I just had this discussion with a pastor the other day.  It seems as though, when we are in the true and rich presence of God, all time, worry, fear, thoughts, concerns disappear.  How much more then, I have to ask, will heaven be like?  Where we worship for years that are only days in the heavenly realm.
On a different subject, my heart has been aching to go back on the mission field.  Last year at this time, I had just come back home from a month in China.  The experience of being over there will be one I never forget.  I believe that trip shaped and changed me emotionally, spiritually, and compassionately for the heart of missions and for the people that have never heard the gospel.  I don't know as to where my next adventure will be, but I know even if it is just down the street God can move in his time.
Yesterday, the praise band and I sang a song by Jesus Culture called "All Consuming Fire."  It is through this simple verse and chorus song I find the true meaning of aching and longing for God's presence.  There is nothing sweeter.  Whether you are in your local church, bedroom, outside, China, wherever you may be the presence of God can sweep you up like a sweet wind.  Will you come away with him?
