It’s crazy how life can change overnight and who would have thought when we entered the new year 2020 we would be isolated from each other. The whole world has shut down and all of mankind is affected in some shape or form. I find it interesting though when you think about it, all of God’s creation is still going strong and the birds are still singing their song, the sun and moon still shine at there appointed time. The flowers are beginning to bloom and every part of God’s creation is not affected except, mankind. Anyway I’m not going to speculate or say anything more about what it could be…but I’m going to move on to how it has affected me. As some of you know doors were beginning to open to speak and share my story, also mission trips were scheduled to visit prisons but the doors have been closed, in fact there locked and we are all in lockdown. The first few days I was reading news articles and listening to the Prime Minister. But suddenly I felt the Lord put in my heart that there is no time to waste, but to work for Him. He has shown me the importance of prayer and there are so many needs, so I first pray over my family and then others. Every morning I ask the Holy Spirit to show me what He would have me do, and I listen to Him and it’s amazing because He’s been inspiring me to write prayers and poetry and inspirational writing that flows from His heart. It’s been a number of years since I’ve experienced a steady flow like this and I love it. So, I plan to keep my mind off of what’s going on in the world, and keep my mind on the Lord. I love how He is using me to minister to people all over the world, on my blog and pages on Facebook etc. and I communicate with men and women in prisons sending them words of encouragement and hope. Listening to the Holy Spirit and following His direction is nothing strange or different because It says in God’s word to walk by the Spirit (Galatians 5:25)and be led by the Spirit. (Rom. 8:14)and believe me there is no other way of walking to experience fullness of joy and great peace and strength plus adventure. I never know what each new day will bring when I follow His leading, but it is always satisfying and exciting. As you draw near to Him He draws near to you and that’s where it starts. Trust in Him with all your heart and don’t lean on your own understanding because His ways are much higher! Just acknowledge Him it’s as simple as that, and He will lead and guide you to Father God’s, divine plan for you. (Prov.3:5,6) Well besides missing my family, I actually enjoy this season of my life on a daily basis, and who knows about tomorrow, but God knows, so in the meantime, I’ll go with the flow and follow Him step by step, one day at a time, and enjoy the journey. I’ll keep praising Him with a thankful heart, because He has everything under control!! God bless you and my prayers are with you all ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
