Day 61: It's a new season

Well, in so many ways. First of all I have had a terrible head cold think for the last week, whoo for me. I enjoy being able to sleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. Yes, that part is nice, plenty of rest. Just started my Zpack a couple of days ago, hopefully that will impact my sniffles and such. When I started this blog.....there was joy in my heart. I really find pleasure in a simple reading of a prayer that comes from someone's heart. It takes time to develop a relationship with God, when I journal I can see the growth inside my spiritual man. Wow, that is so much fun. Just like a plant that is beginning it's journey. Watered little by little to grow into something that is sturdy, beautiful, and alive. When I look back in my journals that I wrote in, it's so funny to see the small things that I used to worry about, things that I thought were not going to happen or dreams that I had that I didn't know now would be something I had completed already. Today I spoke at my grandmother's monthly women's Christian meeting. God used me and I was able to speak from my heart about the mission's trips that he led me on. I have been to Russia 3 times, each a revolutionary time in my life. So I enjoyed being used by God today, the Holy Spirit showed up, and I wasn't nervous at all. That is a first! I usually get sweaty hands and shaky legs, nope not today it was wonderful. I didn't use my carefully typed and well organized notes at all....just spoke according to the urging of God. He told me specific things to pray and stories to tell that blessed me so much to talk about. That was so great! Beckoning a group of women that have been Christians for a while, to spend time with God, listening to Him and letting Him lead. That is the cry of my heart, for those who know God to know him more and more, until we meet Him again!

Lord, thank you for using me to speak to those lovely women today. It was amazing to be able to talk about my trips again, it's been a while. I will keep listening to you, day after day. Leading me, guiding me to those doors that you opened way before I even thought about walking through. Oh God, I will follow you!!! Love you so much. In Jesus name, amen.
