My journey yesterday did exactly what I knew needed to happen and it was remarkable.  I was able to step into each situation God wanted addressed and watch God do His work.  Yes, I did need to do my part, but the most important part for me was to show up, speak up when asked and to listen.  God did just what He knew needed to be done in opening doors and I’m most grateful.

Our Aslan Ministry finally has property.  While we were in our meeting last night the realtor text the director saying all the paperwork had now been signed.  We are officially owners.  We have needed this event to solidify so we can now become much more concrete in moving forward.  I know that God is wanting this ministry to develop and to serve these girls who have been so grossly abused by our society.  The responsibility to do this right, do everything solely through God’s direct leadership, and with a very strong minded board, well, it isn’t necessarily easy.  Prayers are needed for all of this.

Today’s journey has our quartet singing for an assisted living place.  One our our member’s mom is in it and we are singing for their Thanksgiving event.  Tomorrow we sing for a church’s Thanksgiving/Harvest dinner.  I sometimes wonder how much God is glorified when we go and sing.  Our hearts have only one purpose in going and that is to bring glory to God.  Often the faces of the ones in the homes reflect little or any blessing.  However, afterwards, there are usually many who come and express their gratitude for our taking the time to bless them.  I love singing and I love opportunities to do so.  I suppose since I enjoy it so much I wonder if the time I take to do this is strictly selfish.  The time I spend with Celebrate Recovery, Conquer, Aslan Ministry, sharing my testimony relating to my book, are helping people to break free from the bondage of sin.  Singing seems to be somewhat the opposite.  It’s an opportunity to enjoy worshiping God and sensing His presence soulfully.  Maybe that’s not selfish.  I hope not.  Anyway, thanks for letting me process with you.  God isn’t shutting the door for this to happen so I’ll go ahead and take advantage of it while it is here.  I do want God to be glorified in this journey’s day to day living.
