I'm excited to share that this week we are having revival meetings at our church. But not only am I hoping for a change in our community, but I'm looking for a change within.
It started last week when I was annoyed because my computer took longer to load than I felt it should. Then, as the week progressed I felt overwhelmed and frustrated while picking things up around the house. I began to pay attention to my actions and realized there needed to be a change.
Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. I want theses fruits to grow from the inside out. I know it is possible because everything I read says it's true. So, I've entered into this week expecting a great revival from within.
Our first revival meeting was on Sunday April 17, 2012. We got home from the revival meeting around 11:30 PM. I had to begin work at 6:00 AM. Those were the ingredients for a very cranky Peggy. I felt frustrated and irritable but I took it to God. "I want true change! I want God's love to flow through me!" By that afternoon I felt peace and things began to change.
Last night we went to our second revival meeting. We got home late, and this morning I woke up with a horrible headache. I had a few problems with my computer at work this morning, but I was at peace in the midst. Not once did I feel like tossing the computer on the floor. It is 2:30 PM as I write this and I have lots of chores to do around the house, as well as figure out what to cook for dinner. But I tell you truly, His word is true. Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. I feel His peace through me and I know He is answering my prayer for a revival to start within me. I look forward to see what God has planned this week and to see what changes He will cause to occur within me.
