God: "I want your full attention"

Within the past few weeks the Spirit have been moving me to prepare for a change. What this change may be is still a mystery, yet all things are working together, I believe, for this. Well, with the GKafee not even started yet, I have already been asked to give up, give in, give away. Yesterday I lost my phone, mesmerized by the romance of the Freestate sunset at a roadworks stop, I left it on the roof and now I believe it to be roadkill. Yes, it was traumatic, and I did morn my loss to communication with the world. Though, after a short mourning period, I pulled myself together and asked for clarity.

Short and and sweet - I am a jealous God, you are mine and I want your full attention.

It's been a long time coming - this preparation in focus. My spirit has been yearning to experience the intimate relationship that Paul writes about in Php. 3. Not only have my heart longed, but hearing his beautiful sweet call, I found the need to be intentionally educated by the One who is worthy of all praise. He is the only one keeping track with God's plan, and with the blueprint of the story as it unfolds. I wonder what He's up to!

Within that longing Paul confronts me on so many levels, the most prominent being that of wanting to know. This he writes as result of the wish to know Christ, to "know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the death." Php. 3:10 -11 (NIV).
