“To be with you and unashamed, in a sweet downpour of innocent rain

I want it like it was back then; I want to be in Eden.”

“All is for Your glory,

All is for Your name,

That in all things you may have the first place

That in all things you may have preeminence.”

These are two songs that were part of my playlist on Friday morning in the prayer room. It was specifically created and orchestrated by the One who knows me best.

I was so honored and full of joy and peace as Papa surprised me with these beautiful lyrics… words that have been in my heart dying to get out in a musical, harmonious way. There is something so special starting your birthday off in the prayer room basking in a place where His love and presence abound.

To be with Him and unashamed… to have no barriers, no vain ambitions, no embarrassment or self consciousness but to be able to stare Him in the face, the fullness of glory. I smiled/ chuckled to myself as the rain steadily was pouring down that morning as I made my way to the prayer room. I had asked for a sunny 80 degree day, yet I felt the Lord saying, “Hailley, I know what you like best. You love the rain. A sweet downpour of innocent rain.” I want to be in Eden. Eden was the first holy of holies. The temple design given to David and then put into construction by Solomon even contained elements that represented the garden. Our hearts long for what we were and where we were created to be. I want to be back in Eden.

And the next song expresses what I want to be in my mind and on my heart every day. His preeminence. His incomparability. His superiority. To proclaim these words, to testify as a faithful witness. By His grace, I am in a place of stepping into these words “All is for Your glory.”

And then my mother visited. The one who brought me into this world 21 years ago. I am so grateful and overwhelmed by His kindness.
He treats me so well.

Walking Worthy.

What a perfect topic seeing as my word for the year is sanctification. If you didn’t read my first blog entry you should because that will give you a complete explanation.

So I was given the letter W from the acronym FELLOWSHIP which we are encouraged to pray over ourselves daily. Asking the Lord to fill us with these fruits… these aspirations for our lives in becoming like Him in knowing Him and loving Him by grace from Holy Spirit.

Fear.

Endurance.

Love.

Light of glory.

One thing focus.

Walking worthy.

Speech.

Humility.

Intimacy.

Peace and Joy.

So this is what I wrote out for Walking Worthy… my brief 2 minute teaching.

Example.

Then Boaz said to his young man who was in charge of the reapers, “Whose young woman is this?”

Ruth 2:5

Her faithfulness, her loving obedience brought her to a place of receiving strength, blessing, and power… walking worthy.

Asking for grace, for help from Holy Spirit that we may be cleansed, sanctified to gain victory over blind spots, places of corruption in our hearts. We are to have a worthy response to Jesus’ righteousness praying always to be counted worthy.

100% obedience and abandonment. for we are not going to stop 10 feet short of the finish line in a 10 mile race.

We want to hear Him say at the end of our lives on earth, “well done my faithful servant.”

i have such a desire in my heart to walk worthy.
