Back from England. And it was quality except for the weather. They should do something about that really. But you can't have everything.
The conference was very good. Some very brilliant people spoke. One about Jesus, another about mission, and another about the importance of community. But the thing was, was that they all loved Jesus, that was very clear. They didn 't just talk about him, they knew him. I think most of the people there knew and loved Jesus. And that was really cool. I was challenged by their commitment to knowing God and seeking his presence daily.
It was like God reiterated to me just how desperate he is to reveal himself to people. And if God is desperate to reveal himself, the only thing that will stop him is us, ourselves. By not being willing to let him reveal himself through us. A God desperate is something to ponder. In me it builds faith. Even when it seems like God is absent, if we keep seeking him, he will not be long in showing himself. Because it's in his character to want to be known. And so when we as people desire to know him and have him reveal who he is, then we can be sure that he will.
Just what that looks like though is the part that may suprise you and me.

funny really but i have had a similar revelation lately... It struck me that the only thing keeping me from encountering God was myself. Sometimes i feel like i have to work so hard until God speaks... spending time with him, getting caught up in everything I am doing "for" him, etc. But then i realized that really, God is always pursuing me and all i have to do is stop and let him capture me. I have started to pray... God, as you offer, may I receive. b/c so often i am just too busy or too preocupied to see what God has for me.
