Kathy and I will head home today from an enjoyable time with her sister.  The party (shower) for the upcoming baby was fun.  It ended last night with two of the couples staying and visiting.  In the course of our conversations we talked about numerous topics.  I stated briefly that I had learned much from the therapy I’d had addressing my childhood sexual abuse.  Once we were all done and the guests were leaving one of them came to me and said we’d need to talk more.  She wanted to compare notes on what I’d learned from my counseling and therapy as she said,  “I too was sexually abused as a child.”  God just never stops working.

This morning upon coming to the kitchen and pouring my first cup of coffee, I retrieved my cell phone to see I had a couple texts from a Celebrate Recovery young man who is in South Africa for a few months attending a seminary there.  God had given him a couple verses he was wanting to share with me.  The verses confirmed a message Christ has given me four days ago while I was journaling.  I am rather curious to see what God is going to do with all of this.

My devotional this morning in the book: Every Day in His Presence was entitled Absolutely Convinced.  It said, “Trust God.  Believe with every fiber of your being that He will faithfully fulfill His promises….”  I do not know what all this is leading to but I do know whatever it is, I will follow His lead in my life.  The devotional goes on to say, “But what if I misunderstood Him?  Then the Father will gently correct you.”  This is a common statement I often make when I fear God’s leading.  This time I will not succumb to fear.  We will see where this leads.  I’ll appreciate your prayers.
