Called Out

I had a great day. I was excited to go to church. I had homemade strawberry-banana waffles in my tummy so I didn't have to stop by the Shell Station to get breakfast.  The weather was beautiful; I always like it when the sun is out before I am. I got to church and started learning immediately. PK called me out on something and it was hard to swallow at first but the lesson needed to be heard and implemented. Our Guest speaker was great. He hit all the points I have been trying to make for sometime now and I'm glad to have that confirmation…the only way to live is for others.

I have learned over the last few months that I am making a difference and growing with the relationships I build and maintain everyday. Old friends and new, the poor and the rich, the sinners and the saints. Everyone needs love.  Everyone I come across needs someone who cares. Everyone. It's amazing how one life lesson ties to the next and then to another. They are all connected. Love God and love your neighbor as yourself. That sums it up, it's what I'm striving for. I can't lie and say that it's always easy because I think we all know that it's not. It doesn't have to be as hard though, with a little yielding. Yielding to the spirit within that urges us to do the right thing can get easier if we would just practice.

I'm going to practice more. So…if you see me in the street and I don't look like I'm loving, call me out because God has called me forth to do just that. I don't want to disappoint.

A New Season

I noticed the change in seasons a few weeks ago…and I'm not just talking about the weather. It's about time I was shifted again. To another level, to another time. God is so faithful. He knows just what we need and when we need it. The only difference between now and then is that I'm not fighting it this time. I'm not being moved from one place in my life to another, kicking and screaming.

I've seen this coming so many times now, that I can almost smell the change as it grows near. Things I thought were impossible months ago, are now not so impossible. The things I thought were fact weeks ago, now suddenly seem questionable. One thing is for certain and that is, whatever this new wind may bring it's going to help me grow and bring me closer to where I want to be and that's with Him. I want to see God in everything that I do. I want to see him in every word I speak. I want to love so much that no one will be able to deny that I am a daughter of God, chosen for my fathers good work.

I won't let anything stop me. Not my feelings of the past and missing the way things used to be; not even the fear of the unknown. Funny enough, everything pretty much seems like the "unknown" these days. I only ask for God's grace and mercy as I cross over into this new phase. I thank him for the times I've had here in this one. There is more work to be done, more good times to be had. I am finally excited to see what changes will come.

Thank you Lord for your peace.
