Leaning in

There is a higher place that God desires to take me.

There is another level God desires me to operate on.

He has made clear that no matter what I have already released, no matter what I have already given that there is still more required but also more to be given.

In this time, He needs every moment available as there is still much more to be done.

This means another level of sacrifice. But in this level of sacrifice, there is more He wants to reveal to me, more He wants to show me, more He wants to release to me.

Not only does He desire more time, but He also desires more of me. He desires to extract more out of me.

There is still more molding, shaping and conforming by the Potter and although it does not feel good, He desires for me to stay moldable in His hands.

He desires for me to lean into, in fact, press into the more. To press into the stretching, the discomfort and awkwardness of any situation so that the pressure, the intensity, the squeeze will extract what he desires.

I'm willing to go there to do what hasn't been done before. Not to reopen shut doors, but to move forward in harmony with what is in store for my today to prepare me for my tomorrow.

My flesh feels uneasy but my soul knows it must submit.

My 24 hours now filled with early risings, tasking on a scheduled routine and the falling to bed by His direction, I avail myself to the becoming, align myself with the emerging, and make space for the extraction.

I am willing to do the hard tasks of today.

Lord in your arms I am pressing into the formation of who you have called me to be.

Help me to keep moving forward in you Lord and become the Woman of God you have created and have always intended for me to be.

From Jesus_

There is more required of you, YOU Jennifer. You are called to live at a higher standard than others because of the heavy calling on your life. Do not fight it or rebel against it. Rise to the occasion. Become what others cannot. Become mines in a way that is unique to just you and I. Peace be with you.
