Unveiling

On January 1, 2011, Andrew and I went to Rock Ledge Park at Lake Grapevine to seek the Lord about the new year.  We like to call these "vision dates".    We had such an incredible conversation.  It was as if we were having a three way conversation between the two of us and Jesus.  Hard to explain in words, but it's one of those things you know just happened, ya know?  Okay, moving on.

So many people that I have met over the years have mentioned that they ask God for a word for each new year.  What a cool concept, right?  Something to hang onto when September creeps up, and you don't understand what the  heck is happening around you.  Sounds like a great idea to me!  So I asked God what my word is for the year, and He said, "unveiling".  Isn't that an exciting word?!  Unveiling. 

It is now April and already God has unveiled so much to me about who I am and the relationships in my life.  He has shown me what healthy boundaries look like, and how to be gracious, kind and loving towards others.  I can't wait to learn more about who He says that I am in the months to follow.  It seems as though I'm a new person each month... transitioning from glory to glory.  Hm.... I feel like I've heard that somewhere before.  

But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.  For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.  So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image. 

2 Corinthians 3:16-18  NLT

Over the eight remaining months of 2011, I'd like to take you on a journey of where I've been, and who I am becoming.  I hope as you read each post that you experience your own unveiling by a gentle God who loves you more than you could ever comprehend.
