One of my clients sent me a face book chat message today to let me know that God had answered her prayer... she was pregnant! Praise God! That one was super quick. I think it was about 2 weeks.
God is so good!
Well, I had some really insightful things to say tonight... but apparently I used all of my brain cells pumping out a quick 500 word essay on material that I found wholly uninteresting tonight. Oh, wait, I remember what I was going to write about now...
Last night my friend Donna comes up to me after one of the most incredible church services EVER and says to me, "I saw God's face."
Now wait just a second... I thought... ohhhkayyy, my theology had been flipped upside down but only for half a second as the scripture that says Moses saw God face to face came racing into my mind.
My first thought was, "Well, what did He look like?" Somehow that didn't get quite articulated and the most intellectual word I could come up with was "Cooooolll!!!!!!" Lame and hilarious at the same time.
So this morning I called her first thing to talk about it and hear everything. I don't know if other people have had throne room experiences where it feels like you are just sitting there on the Father's lap and just loving on Him and He is just loving on you... if they haven't, they should it is pretty awesome! I have had that happen a few times and it is absolutely LOVELY! I have been able to feel His garments and His hair, but whenever I would try and look up, either I couldn't or it would be all misty and stuff, plus it also kind of freaked me out.
She described His clothes and hair the exact way I had experienced them, which is really cool because I had never told her that that had happened or what it was like. She said that He told her that she could see His face because she had died to her flesh. I can totally believe that because out of all the people I know she is one that is one of the most dead to the flesh. I must admit I was a tad bit jealous, but only enough as to provoke me to press in to Him and His will further and die to my own flesh.
With all this talk about Heaven I had been hearing lately and how great it will be there and how we will get to do this and that and tons of other things, I was feeling a little bummed out about all the amazing-ness that we get to experience here. It excites me to know that I don't have to wait until I get to Heaven to see the face of my Father, I can have that and all of the rest of His promises right here on earth. I love that!
My heart's desire really is to see the Kingdom come here on the earth as it is in Heaven.
