Sunday morning, Johan and I went to church and it was a delightful treat! Theatre for the Thirsty performed “My Name is Daniel” and it was truly magnificent! The Word of God was told in such a clear, comprehensive and insightful way that any ordinary person (like me!) could understand. It was so uplifting to hear His Word in a new way that weekend. We were truly blessed by their performance that day. They only had 3 performers, but the play was extraordinary!
I sat in the audience thinking about how I’m so thirsty for Jesus. So thirsty for His love to flow like a mighty river! I talked to Johan afterwards and shared how it’s been on my heart to serve again. I know that he desires to serve as well. We both took our time to step away from the Hmong church to find ourselves and be fed. We needed to take this much needed break to take care of our broken hearts and be pieced together by His hands once again. It was refreshing to our broken spirits and now we’re wondering: what’s next? Where do we go from here? We are thirsty to serve Him and His church!
I am thirsty to serve His people, His community, His church, His Kingdom. Community is something that all people need for various reasons. We were not made to be alone. We were made to build relationships and be challenged by people who are different from us. Johan and I are thirsty for that and are praying for direction on what our next step is….If you guys have time, please pray for us.
I am struggling with a similar issue in law school. For the last two years, I have cut myself off from extracurricular activities and volunteering. As I start my third year, I am wondering if I’m even in the right place. Why am I in law school? I’ve lost my purpose along the way with all the cramming, reading, highlighting, and studying. I am wrestling with why I came to law school in the first place. I need to find my purpose here and pray about why He brought me through the doors of this school 2 years ago.
Whether it’s at church or in school or at work, I pray that my heart is always seeking after His ways…Always yearning to learn more about Him and how to better reflect His love in this world. I pray that my self-righteous and prideful heart would crumble and that I would be humbled by His all-embracing, never-ending, love.
“Captivated by You
I am captivated by You
May my life be one unbroken gaze
Fixed upon the beauty of Your face.”
