Finding New Love

"Gathering the scattered' is not only a reference to the weekend fun of 9 friends reuniting, it also refers to a "coming together" of all my scattered thoughts.

I want to invite you to take a 40 day journey with me. Where? You ask. The question should really be: To whom? You see I have found myself in a place I never imagined I would be, a place of great brokenness and blurred vision.

I have a need. I need a fresh view of God, a victory over deep hurt and lifelong habits, and a vision of how my story fits into the overarching story of God's redemptive plan for mankind.

Philip, one of Jesus' disciples, asked Jesus to show the disciples the Father and that would be enough for them to believe. Jesus answered; "Don't you know me, Philip (Tara), even after I have been among you for such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?" (John 14:9) The only way for me to get an accurate view of God is to know Jesus from the scriptures.

For the next 40 days I will be reading about Jesus in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts 1:1-11.
I want to have his heart for the Lord and the world. I want to fall deeply in love with him.

I will also be rereading, "The Burning Heart Contract" by Becky Tirabassi. (www.beckytirabassi.com)  I will also be praying for revival for our nation, my family and my life. (www.annegrahamlotz.com)  I want to be less distracted by what all I see around me and focus on the one who loves me most, Jesus.
