Spending time in His word tonight and listening to some music the following kept being repeated.
"your fragrance is intoxicating."
I want to know what this means.
I want to know how it feels to be intoxicated by just the presence of God.
Granted, I do not know how it feels to be intoxicated...period. But, being intoxicated by the love of God? I can only imagine how rad that would be.
I deeply desire this closeness with God right now.
It's not happening all at once.
Sometimes I find that weird.
I feel like if I am asking for it why wouldn't God just give me that closeness?
Maybe there is something still in the way?
I don't know.
But I'm choosing, and trying to be faithful.
I pray I would be intoxicated tonight by the fragrance of God.
Whatever that means.
MMMMM I want it!
C'mon Jesus!
**** 5 MINUTES AFTER POSTING THIS BLOG!
God just blew my mind.
AHHHH!!!!!!!!
I wanted to know what this fragrance was all about.
I look down in my Bible that was open in front of me and start reading 2 Corinthians 2:12-17...
FRAGRANCE EVERYWHERE!!!
Check it!
"But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. 15For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. 16To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life. And who is equal to such a task? 17Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, like men sent from God."
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!
I'm just blown away that BAM I look down after writing this blog and there it was.
So now I pray.
ALOT!
God show me why this was so in my face tonight.
I can't wait to learn!!

dude leesh you felt it before and i got to witness it!
remember when you came to lovehop and you couldn't even move because you were so weighed down by the spirit?
that was it!
that was being intoxicated by the fragrance of God.
it comes in many forms. sometimes in just spontaneous bursts of laughter and joy.
there's no comparison to being drunk in the spirit ;)
I AM SO EXCITED TO BE YOUR NEIGHBOR!
ah! amen to what emma said! leeshers. i am so stoked to have you back AND i am so stoked to see what god will cultivate in you while you are finishing up your season in washington. dig deeper into the things limiting your trust and love. he will show them what they are and it SUCKS for the time being... but there is ALWAYS SUNRISE. like emma shared with you last week, we are sitting right in front of a sunrise about to come. ahh. god is good!
