Camel stage...

"I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.  Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God - what is good and acceptable and perfect."
Romans 12:1-2
 
And this momma appeals to you too. 
 
Soak in every single word in His Word.  Let it transform your heart and your mind.  Let it sink inside you so deep that in times of great sacrifice and tireless service, you are constantly renewed and refreshed at the Holy Spirit's prompting of the Word buried deep within your heart.
 
Because, as my dear Papa shared with me, we are either hummingbirds or camels.  A hummingbird lingers long, soaking in every word, taking his time.  A camel, drinks in the water deep knowing times of drought are near. 
 
I much prefer the hummingbird stage, but I am so very thankful for the deep drinks I have previously taken that are sustaining this very tired momma right now. 
 
"A person cannot recieve even one thing unless it is given him from heaven."
John 3:27
 
 
 
 
 
Yes, all these beautiful, time-consuming gifts are from heaven above. 
 
His Word is perfect. 
 
May you be filled deeply this day.  :)
