3/1/98 Dear God, Sometimes when I'm craving your Spirit, nothing happens. I stand there with my hands stretched towards Heaven, crying out your name, and nothing. Is it because I have not been keeping my quiet times? Is there sin in my life that is keeping me from your salvation? What can I do? Why have I been able to keep faith like a child until now? Why do I have to question your existance? I don't understand. I want to feel you in my heart, mind, soul, and life. I want heads to turn in the halls when I walk by. I want them to stare at me, watching and wanting the light you have put in me. I want you to overflow my cup with your Spirit. I want so much from you. I want you to use me to reach the unreached. I have such a desire and passion to serve, but I want to do that now. I want to know and serve you now. I want heads to turn now. I want faith like a child now. I want to feel you in my heart, mind, and soul now. I want you in my life now. I am crying out to you Father, asking for your Spirit now. I thank you and love you for all the blessings in my life. Your child, Rachel Joy
