Sitting in the shower last night, I found myself conversing with the Lord over the usual things...”God, won’t you relieve us of our debt so we can be free from our earthly bondage? And what about a home? Can we have a place of our very own to rest and feel settled? God, will you bless us?”
As I sat and asked these questions, I felt the Lord say to me, “Will you bless me?”
“Well, what does that mean? How can I bless you God?”
“Write.”
“What am I suppose to write about God?”
“Remember Abraham. ‘Go to the land I will show you.’”
I thought to myself, “Umm, ya, you’re going to have to confirm this one God. I am not a writer. Confirm it in Joel. And soon.”
I got into bed last night and not a word from the Spirit came from Joel. We prayed and went to sleep.
This morning, I arose and made my morning coffee for my “date” with the Lord and sat down in my usual “spot” on our paint splattered, puppy scratched loveseat. In doing so, Joel joined me a few moments later in his usual “spot” across from me with his morning cup of caffeine to encounter God through the reading of His word as well. We shared a few words conversationally about what God was teaching us during this season and then got right back to our readings. Out of no where, Joel says to me outloud, “ Amy, you need to start writing.”
My mouth dropped as I realized what the Lord just did, He graced me with the confirmation I needed. So here I sit, writing.
I will write what and when He tells me to write.
God, use these small steps of obedience to make this what You want it to be. Be glorified.
