He Won't Let Me Forget | February Update

Hi all!
Just a little update on the highlights of January & what's coming up this month. Well, January surely went by like the wind. The first 2 weeks of Intro to Staff were about fundraising & what an intercessory missionary is. Then, I spent another week or two working on my support packet; I hope to send some out to friends soon. So yes, that's how most of January was spent. Last Sunday, which was Jan 30 was my 21st birthday. It was almost like a normal day. Spent my birthday in Richmond half the time and then went to Fredericksburg late afternoon. I got to hang out with friends there and I had a really great time just playing cards and worshipping together. :] I look forward to actually doing art this year. Since the Burn Internship, I haven't really gotten a chance to draw or plan a project, but I'm really excited for this year. :) I'm also going to be writing more poetry &...write songs! Haha! A part of me can't really fathom actually writing a song, but I know it's gonna happen. Holy Spirit keeps inspiring me.
My heart~God has been showing me how He pursues me and leads me too. He pursues me until I run from other lovers (idols) & I run into Him. He leads me into Himself. God is beautiful. There is really no one like Him.
But God is also showing me my part in our relationship. Isaiah 55:1 says, "Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters." And in Rev 1, the Word says His voice sounds like waters. So the Holy Spirit is telling me to come to His voice. I must move toward Him. Psalm 29 is a song about His voice. Read it! It's amazing!!
This month, Intro (the entire base really) is going through Song of Solomon 1:1-5, Hosea 2:14-20, Matt 25:1-10, & Isaiah 62:4-5. We're praying that God will open up the well of intimacy in our hearts.
