I can't believe that we are already moving into week seven here on the base. I've been struggling to write this blog. The struggle isn't in not having anything to say, but in trying to figure out how to communicate all of the incredible things God has been doing.

Where do I start? I never knew it was possible for God to work on so many areas of my life at the same time. He has been speaking so much! This past week, God taught me more on what it means to hear His voice. Not only to hear His voice, but to believe Him and that His word is good and He is faithful to follow through on every promise He makes.

My heart is literally so full. Most recently, God has been showing me that, though I've always claimed to be a "planner", this is not where my identity comes from. My value does not come in this administrative gift. And, God has been holding back this gift for a season, allowing me to fail over and over so that I can enter into freedom, operating in the refined gift. I'm so excited! I'm learning I don't need to live by my to-do list. That, in fact, it has been my to-do list that has hindered me from living for the moment, appreciating each day for all God has.

I am not defined by the gifts God has given me. My value is not based on how well I can plan things, my ability to sing praises to Him, or even in my obedience to follow Him. My value simply comes from the fact that my Father created me and loves me. This is my most recent revelation from Him. He is using it to usher me into brand new freedom. I am finally learning to receive God's love and His identity for me.

There is so much more, but this is it for now. God is so faithful!!!
