CrossOver ..... What are you waiting for???

Tonight my husband and I have the privilege of worshipping at CrossOver Cowboy Church (I love that name!)

It so fits the theme God has placed on my heart this new year...Crossing Over.

Crossing Over.......

• the colors of skin
• the walls of economic status
• the feeling of being comfortable
• the idea "I" am the means to my Happiness and Joy
• the barrier this world has placed in my heart that prevents me from being a true servant

I keep hearing the same voice in my head (& heart) that says, "Your joy is not found in the things you can accumulate. It is not found in the clothes you wear or the next home decor Pier One has on sale. It is not found in approval from your boss or your children. It is not found in the size pants you can squeeze into today. No. The joy I'm talking about can not be bought, earned or manipulated. It comes from the bottom of brokenness. It is given when you learn to die to yourself and rise up with a servants heart."
I don't know how this will happen. It scares me to death, but one thing I know....Life is brief, truly a vapor as scripture says, and I don't want to wallow anymore. I'm just tired and sick of myself and the value I have placed on things that will never ever satisfy.

This is my Verse for January:

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me......; I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the LEAST of these brothers of mine, you did for me." Romans 25:35-36;40

So....Lord Help me...I'm ready to Crossover...even if I can't see the next step, Help me to trust your Lead...
