Proverbs 10:5 He who gathers crops in summer is a wise son, but he who sleep during the harvest is a disgraceful son.
I just love the fall, it has forever been for me a time of great energy and restoration. The cool crisp mornings invigorating my sluggish soul, demanding a fresh start. As Christians we walk the walk of renewal and restoration until the day we die, trusting God to direct our steps. Hebrew 11:8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.
This weekend was just such a weekend for Rick and I; both of us stepped out in faith and followed God`s lead. I attended a 2 day seminar training for advanced Sozo training, in a tiny town in the middle of no-where, Greenwood De. For 2, 8 hour sessions with great enthusiasm and desire to be obedient, I listened, took notes, asked questions and enjoyed what I learned. When, where and how will God have me use this training, not really sure! But when it`s time for the harvest, I`m ready, bring it on Father God! 2 Corinthians 5:7 We live by faith, not by sight.
Rick also stepped out of his comfort zone this weekend, by accepting an invitation to attend the Walk to Emmaus. Thursday evening I dropped him off at Camp Pecometh, for a 72 hour retreat. As he left behind his cell phone and walked through the door, he had no clue what God had in store for his journey. There is an air of secrecy about the weekend; there are certain events and happening that mere words can not do justice; the secrets are disclosed as the weekend progresses. The weekend is an experience of God`s love offered by the body of Christ that serve our LORD.
The majesty of the weekend returned to me a husband that had truly been touched by the hand of Jesus. He`s different from the inside out. A soothing peace and tranquility that in our 23 years together I have never witnessed. He`s different, he got it! He said, "it`s good stuff, really good stuff, don`t know why I waited so long to go!" Five years of praying to be exact, but as I am so often reminded, all things are in God`s time, not mine. He`s in control and I`m not!
Monday evening, by phone, as Rick encouraged our friend Dave to accept the invitation for the Walk to Emmaus, I gently and lovingly wiped the tear from his face. It`s good stuff. Dave, you gotta go!
I look forward to serving God with my husband Rick at my side! Thank you, Father God for the lessons of love, trust and faith that allow us to walk hand in hand for your glory!
Psalm 34:1-3 I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lip. My soul will boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together.
Let`s go Rick, I love you....Amen
