On Cusp of Something Monumental...

Bubbling up in my Spirit, overwhelming my soul, invading my thoughts…The past few weeks there is a mantra that keeps repeating in my head.  "Make space for my Spirit.”  Interestingly, it has been the voice in the heads of many of my colleagues and friends too. Obviously not coincidence.

Abby, Daran and I have been in Utah for almost 8 years.  We planted Chi Alpha here 7 years ago.  I feel as if we are being called to “makes space for the Spirit” because we are about to enter a year of abundance and fruitfulness.  A Year of Jubilee, perhaps.  The soil here has proven difficult, but I spy some green sprouts poking out in the distance.  It feels as if we have just been tilling the soil for years but the seeds have just not sprouted.  Tilling gets tiring.  But it is only a season, right.  

We have always been ones to celebrate the small wins and the small fruit, but I am believing that this year is the year of big wins and big fruit.  

Tuesday night at UVU and Thursday night at the U, I saw the beginning of this in our students.  As I encouraged them to make space for the Spirit, it seemed as if that was what their souls were thirsting for.  They prayed impossible ridiculous prayer around the room.  They cried out for freedom from things that have held them so long.  They believed God for an Awakening in their souls, in our Chi Alpha, and on our campuses.  

We or on cusp of something monumental and the taste is much sweeter because the wait has been so long.
