How amazing our God is when we only open our eyes to see Him, open our ears to hear Him and open ourselves to obey Him.  Last night our quartet with a larger group sang for a church in Boise.  It was a good event and it seemed God blessed them and He was blessed.  At the end of the evening a lady came up to me and shared with me about her increased intimacy with God.  Last June our quartet sang for this same group.  I was asked to share my story with them along with my book.  As I was talking about my journey with God I said I had been impressed to begin journaling to God.  In so doing God has been showing me what a loving, caring, devoted Father He truly is.  So, this lady last night began to share how she’d begun to journal to God and listen to Him respond to her.  She was finding this same truth about God as her Father just as I have been finding. She had done this because of my sharing with them.  I was so touched to know God is using our story for His Glory.  He is so intimate when we open ourselves up to complete the work He gives us.

Tonight begins our weekend focused on Help for Hurting People.  Satan is doing his best to destroy.  I know this just from my own tormenting times this week connecting to it.  I just finished talking about this with my brother-in-law.  It was good to take the anxiety of these attacks and talk them out.  I can easily see the Light of Heaven shining down.  I don’t want to put myself in the front of this.  I truly want to be an obedient servant of God completing what He wants done from me.  The team that God has brought to the weekend is complete.  I know God is nudging folks to step out of their “protective bubble” and risk coming tonight and tomorrow.  There is love, support and help available as I’ve found to be so true once I began to step out of what I thought was my protective bubble.

God is waiting to be known for each of us as our God the Father, Jesus as Savior and Lord, and Holy Spirit indwelling us.  In all of this He gives us new live as He has made us a new creation.  This new creation is not new to Him.  For the new creation is taking us on the journey to wholeness so we can be more like Him.  To God be all Glory!
