"As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When can I go and meet with God?"
Psalm 42:1-2
I see glimmers of this in my life, but I want this kind of passion to consume my life.
I feel like I'm beginning to connect with God on a regular basis for the first time. And this kind of actually connecting with God is what is fueling my passion to want this, but I know I am still lacking so much. There is still so many other things that take precedence over God in my life. I want God to purge my life of these things. There is still a belief in me that these things (idols, really) are better somehow than God. I know in my head that's not true, but my heart still hasn't made the complete switch. I'm just thankful that my Father is so patient with me. Father, please use your Holy Spirit to consume me with passion for You.

Thanks for your honesty Kami! I know this is so true in my life. I wish there was a fast track from head to heart...all the truth that's in my mind that so seldom permeates my heart and emotions. Your blog is a good reminder that God is patient, even when we're a little slow!

that's awesome babes. i'm excited as both you and I learn about this.
Awesome Kam! I've been thinking a lot lately about how to do this as a family bringing the kids into this. Some ideas are starting to come. We should talk when you guys get here.
Love this post Kami! I'm so happy for you that you are starting to realize this in your own life. I feel so parched right now spiritually that I hope my thirst starts to develop for God, not all the things that get in the way.
Hey...UPdate your blog lady!!!!
Done.
