So here we are, applying spiritual disciplines to our life... in hopes of much growth.

Striving to Seek Him Alone

God's plans for our lives are typically not what we expect,  but his ultimate desire for us is to seek Him first and foremost.  My life is currently in a state of change.  In the midst of this change, I have found myself crying out to God harder than I ever have before. I've also found myself doubting God more than I ever have before.  When I was invited to a year of spiritual disciplines, I realized that this is exactly what I need in the midst of the year ahead of me.  God is opening my eyes to seeking HIM more, drawing ever close to HIM, and resting completely in HIS perfect purpose for my life.  In this year, I'm praying that focusing on these disciplines will encourage, strengthen, and grow me in a way that I've never experienced before.  I know, a big prayer, but God is big and I know he can provide that.  I'll leave you with this, something I read this morning that has pushed me to ultimately seek HIM alone.

"Seek Me with your whole being. I desire to be found by you, and I orchestrate the events of your life with that purpose in mind." Jesus Calling, Sarah Young
