The journal entry I'm sharing today was my prayer in my spiritual journey to Haiti back on that particular day. And it is a prayer I continue to have today. Lord, make me broken, make me empty, make me lonely.
Journal Entry: 4/21/13
As I'm preparing for Haiti I'm trying to focus on the spiritual journey. God has revealed so much to me about spiritual warfare, prayer, and vulnerability. I know, without a doubt, that this trip is also about what I can learn so that I can be used to do things effectively for God. I don't know that I will see miracles happen or even one person will come to know Him because of anything I do. But I do strive for obedience, for humility, for a closer relationship than I've ever had before.
"Keep Making Me"
by Sidewalk Prophets
Make me broken
So I can be healed
Cause I'm so calloused
And now I can't feel
I want to run to You
With heart wide open
Make me broken
Make me empty
So I can be filled
Cause I'm still holding
On to my will
And I'm completed
When you are with me
Make me empty
Til You are my one desire
Til You are my one true love
Til You are my breath, my everything
Lord, please keep making me
Make me lonely
So I can be Yours
Til I want no one
More than You, Lord
Cause in the darkness
I know You will hold me
Make me lonely
In order to find greater peace I must first be broken; in order to find greater fulfillment I need to be empty; and in order to find greater joy in Him I must first visit loneliness.
