My Soul's Desire. . .this song says it all. . .an empty vessel to be filled by Him.
To do His perfect will.
To build His kingdom.
Not for my glory but for His.
Where is my place in all of this?
At this moment, it is within the homeless community and it is in my prayer closet.

and listen to Sarah, a fellow blogger, whose place was in her room, dibilitated by a disease that kept her there, but really her place was all over the world through her laptop screen before she went to be with the Lord. She touched many! She still does!
Where is your souls desire at this moment? I guess really, it would be anywhere we are, but is there a specific place your heart goes right to ? Don't be shy. Please do share. I would love to pray for you and that desire.

James 3:13 - Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his GOOD LIFE, by deeds done in humility that comes from wisdom.
Beth Moore described this "good life" this way:
1. One that saves us from ourselves (no jealousy or selfish ambition - James 3:14)
2. One with a track record of yielding - James 3:17
3. One that is full of mercy - James 3:17
4. One that is full of good fruit - James 3:17
I just finished watching her video session for this portion of the study of James on my home computer before reading this blog. After I completed the video and taking notes, I melted in a puddle of tears crying out (literally) for God to create this kind of "good life" in me. It is my passionate longing for God to do a new work in and through me. To give me a new dream, a new passion, and new work to do for Him. THAT is my soul's desire.
Love you dear friend,
Jennie
He HAS created that in you Jennie! But I will pray for that new dream, new passion, new work. You and Him make a great team! :)
My soul's desire is to grow my realtionship with the Lord, to be closer to Him than I could have ever imagined.
My soul's desire is to go to Leon, Nicaragua next year with our church group. We have a sister church there and would love to do some work there for the time we spend is short..10 days but want to bless them as I know the pastor and family. They used to be here 4 years but left to go back...long but beautiful story. Prayers for that and to continue to grow in the Lord as we all should. Thanks! P/S I followed Sarah for awhile, then just recently found out she died and went to heaven. Glad she's at peace. She was a blessing indeed.
My soul's desire is to grow in my relationship with my husband. Because our son is/was mentally ill, we were hardly up and talked only about problems. I'd really like to grow and prosper. The worries about our son will not go away but I want to grow in our marriage.
My soul's desire in this moment is to take the Gospel and the love of Jesus to the slum of Reno where we live. He is working in amazing ways:) Love the link!
Finding my exact place hasn't been easy but I want to give God a return on all that He has placed in me. I love the scenery in your header photo. It's looks like the perfect place to linger in the presence of the Lord. Thanks for sharing the song...it's beautiful
Shari, Becky,Jedidja, Kelli, Wanda~ I will write these down and be praying for all of you. Thank you for trusting me. What an honor to take the requests to the Lord!
