And the Word Is........
Good Morning Girls! I am so excited this morning! Just the other day I was telling a friend that I felt a little bummed out because it has been awhile since the Lord has brought me a word to really dig into. I have felt like my writing has simply been me writing about me, and has not been worth much to you all. Now I know that this is not true, as some of you have written to me encouraging me to keep on writing, and I thank you tremendously for that; but the truth is I feel better when I feel like I am writing with purpose. Even yesterday I had plenty of down time to study, but I felt like I didn't know what to study, so I pretty much wasted my day, which is fine, as I could probably benefit from wasting a day or two rather than be "goal oriented" every single day. Last night I went to bed thinking to myself "No direction again.....what will I write about tomorrow?". There was a sadness to the feeling.....wondering if I were entering the summer slump a month or two early.......
Praise the Lord! I woke up before my alarm went off and as I began my morning routine, the Lord dropped a word in my heart. Awesome! "That will be an easy one to write on this morning", I thought, as I have just finished a book that got me thinking all about this word and how it pertains to my life. I figured I would head downstairs and whip out a blog in no time. But then something happened. As I started to look for a verse for the day I realized something. There are 107 verses with this word in it, in the New Living Translation alone! I started feeling like this was not a "one hit wonder" kind of a word. This is a topic, requiring a few days to really sink in! There are some different directions to go with this. This could be gooooooooooooood! (That's a drawn out good not God).
Trouble is, I do not have time to study it this morning as I would like to. However, I was so excited I just had to let you know that I feel and believe in my heart, the Lord has some good stuff for us! I have my 107 verses printed out. I am going to start looking them up in my Bible, and I am hoping we can get started tomorrow.
Do you want to know what this new word is? Would you like to know what I am jumping out of my chair about? Are you getting excited yet? Do you feel the build up? Then tune in tomorrow to find out........or- if you send me a comment, or e-mail me at jgilbert2@comcast.net, I will give you the word. It's up to you. You can wait patiently, or you can get an early jump start on the excitement!
Love, thanks, and an exciting word to you all,
Jen
