Audacity

...Sublime Audacity.
God Calling's word for the day.
Basically this: the unparalleled nature of the willingness to take bold risks.
I Googled both to see the different definitions of the words. I liked them. Anyway, I then BibleGateway-ed it Guess where it shows up? (the word Audacity) In Luke 11:8. The whole section where God is talking about the neighbor asking another for bread. And because of his shameless audacity he gets it. Jesus then goes on to say "Ask and you shall receive..."
Interestingly enough (following the last post), I feel lead today to be shameless in my seeking. In my asking and my asking and my asking and my asking. I don't always feel this way, but I feel like God has been directing me toward several things that say "Do it."
Another thing is 24-7prayer's Greig wrote a blurb on David Wilkerson's life, stating at the end "The simple secret to unlocking your destiny is prayer. Is God waiting for you in a prayer room somewhere, inviting you to switch off your screens and seek his face? Is he wanting to wreck your life for good; longing to give you the ‘Go help those boys’ moment for which you were born? There really is only one way to find out!"
So I went and said, okay God, here I am, at work, can my prayer room be my heart? Can it be here, waiting on customers and sorting books that you will come and commune with me? I want to pray about this thing.
Next thing was my browsing through CAMB. I came across I Will Bring the Victory and read it. My heart smiled. It too, addressed my desire to go this gathering. I want to wait upon the Lord!
So now I am memorizing scripture, or trying, through ScriptureTyper.com, a great resource. I'm memorizing Luke 11:33-36 about The Body, a Lamp. Read it. It hit me in new ways recently.
Oh, and I got all A's this semester. Yes, even in Japanese, which if you go back and read my earlier posts, is pretty cool. That and my poetry made it into Understory (UAA's undergrad creative arts journal). It'll be coming out late summer/fall. That made my day too. I submitted a version of Brother. And another of my older, but favorite poems. I don't know which, or of both, made it in. We'll see.

Feeling abundantly blessed, even in the midst of uncertainty.
