Yesterday was one of the most important divine appointments of my life. Not because God gave me a prophetic word or God healed someone or something... but because it was a different kind of miracle.
I got a call from my friend Jenny who is living in Nashville. She asked me if I wanted to go to our college ministry, theGathering, that night in Cookeville. I told her I couldn't because I really couldn't afford it and I had so much work to do. Then she called back and said that not only would I be able to go for free but that her mom wanted to pay for our dinner at Outback! So... I took that as a sign that I needed to just go.
When I got to theGathering, God already had began to overcome me. Worship was AMAZING, great, SELFLESS, time of worship with the Lord.. just being able to stand in awe of Him without my own flesh in the way (which I've been struggling with) ... and I just felt the presence of COMFORT for the first time.
After worship, I started to walk toward the back thinking I was going to sit on the couch for a bit and then I saw April Upchurch. When we saw each other.. we both just started crying. We just huggedand then we went outside and honestly just spilled everything.. uninhibited vent/spill session. It's like.. the words just came out without any caution or anything. Both of us. Then we spent a good 30 mins in prayer. It was just amazing. beyond that. just a miracle to me. It's what I needed.. and same for her.
I'm no less confused, but I'm so much more at peace. I know that in God's timing, there will be healing and refreshment to the fullest.
"For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light" -Ephesians 5:8 NIV

God always knows what we need.
I just ended a three-day fast. Up until yesterday morning (when I texted you) I was frustrated because I didn't feel like I was hearing anything. But what you said to me was what I needed to hear. And for the rest of the day I was somehow able to focus upon the Lord more than I have been. It's like I understood "Be still and know that I am God" better than I ever had before. It means so much more than being still physically, but I was able to still my mind and my spirit and really just LISTEN for the first time in a long time. He really did say so much to me; I'm still trying to process it. But he definitely reminded me who I am in Him-which can change everything.
Thank you for your blogs and your loving heart, my friend whom I love. You mean so much to me. :)
