Yesterday’s living out the day was one of spirit awakening.  It seemed much of the day had “spirit” written all over it and within it.  Maybe all days are to be this way but it pronounced for me in yesterday.  Our choir is something I love and enjoy in practice on Monday nights and on Sunday mornings when we sing for God’s glory.  Our director is someone who is able to bring the spirit of a song to the forefront of a performance.  I love her for this gift.  Yesterday was a perfect example of this and I found my own spirit connecting to this.

The sermon of our pastor was alive in spirit yesterday too.  I usually listen with a mind ready for learning but I kept finding my spirit nudging me with thoughts and actions to take I haven’t experienced.  Our monthly Celebrate Recovery leadership meeting was yesterday following our 2nd service.  God nudged me with something He wanted done in the meeting and it was met with great approval by the entire group of 18 people.  I was amazed (but shouldn’t be).

Our step study lesson was Action.  Every response to questions was for me about taking action regarding my spirit (my inner self).  I have always wanted to complete action with things I can see outside myself.  That is where I’ve been able to determine worth of action.  However God is clearly wanting me to see worth/value from inside myself.  My spirit is waking up somehow.

This morning I’ve been up since a little after 4:00 am.  God has had so much to show me.  One of those is reaching out to some men who expressed their struggles to me yesterday.  In times past I’ve wanted to step into the problem with them.  However, God is showing me that He wants me to give emotional support to them.  HE wants to step into the problem with them.  Let my emotional support be such that points their problems to finding God’s solutions through Him–not me.

Well, this is day one of being a new creation that is awakening to living spirit-filled.  It makes intrinsic worth something to ponder differently than I ever have before.  To God be all Glory!
