Old Posts – New Life – God Moves Me, 22JAN
It was really really good to get a nap this evening – with energy recovered, I got to get the kids to bed in our blessed routine – a time to chat – a time to remember that they won’t be under my roof forever – to cherish the time – the routine… Even when I am exhausted, God gives me a focus to be able to put my kids to bed and keeps me from completely falling over in exhaustion…. so now I am up early and going to post a few of my old posts up on my WordPress site – it is good to re-read and edit – so good to know God really really did all this – – some of these make me chuckle and some really blow my mind as to how God really really did all this to me and orchestrated all of you and everyone… REALLY still blows me away… I think these old posts PROVE to me the major BIG movements of God thru my awakening… I am looking forward to this predicted snowed-in weekend to get more of these posts edited and up…
Today I had a wonderful lunch at a fancy restaurant with my co-workers – and sitting next to us I couldn’t help but overhear the table sit down and say Grace before they ate… I quietly paused my eating to secretly listen and pray… some of my co-workers know my faith ways but I am quiet and respectful of the work situation… but it comforts me and gives me joy to speak openly – to connect – so with these people at the table next to me is where I saw an opportunity to say “hey” – so I hopped up to the buffet room and spoke openly to two of the four folks – turns out they were attending the hotel to pre-plan a retreat for some of their 5000 member church from center city – yeah I said 5000!!! – and we chatted about singing praise music and also how God enabled me to lose a tremendous amount of weight – and one of the women eagerly listened to my tips… It was sweet – it was me being able to gush about God for a short moment… and when I went back to the table the older leader of the group spoke openly to me and caught my eye as he said “Praise God” as I walked by – so I also said “I agree, Praise God!” – and excused myself to my co-workers to speak to them for a minute…
See – this new life perks my ears to both opportunities to witness faith and opportunities to just pause in faith conversations with the faithful… it’s awesome and I love praising conversations… and they can be short and sweet affirmations of the faithful collected together without having to rehash my whole story – just kindred spirits passing in the day…
Praise God for a new life!
Praise God for a new day to praise!
Praise God for moving me to where I am the encourager as much as being encouraged…
Praise God for God…
Here are just a few of my favorite posts from tonight’s editings… sweet – thanks God for choosing me for YOU! there are not many hits on my blogs but that is perfectly fine – they are either quietly sitting there for me – or when God decides others should read them He will find the right doors to use them in… whatever God wants – I just am open to tell my praises whenever God deems OK…
